Long noncoding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is essential for the maintenance of normal functions of trophoblasts in preeclampsia (PE). This study aims to decipher the concrete mechanism of PVT1 with the microRNA-24-3p/Type-2 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (miR-24-3p/HSD11B2) axis in PE. PVT1, miR-24-3p, and HSD11B2 expression levels in normal placental tissues and PE placental tissues were defined. HTR-8/SVneo cells were transfected to determine the effects of PVT1, miR-24-3p, and HSD11B2 on the growth of HTR-8/SVneo cells. The relationships among PVT1/miR-24-3p/HSD11B2 in HTR-8/SVneo cells were identified. PVT1 and HSD11B2 were downregulated, while miR-24-3p was upregulated in the placenta of PE. Upregulated/downregulated PVT1 promoted/impeded the growth of human placental trophoblast (HTR-8/SVneo) cells in PE. Restored/knocked down miR-24-3p impeded/enhanced the growth of HTR-8/SVneo cells in PE. PVT1 inhibited miR-24-3p to mediate HSD11B2. PVT1 sponges miR-24-3p to regulate HSD11B2; thereby, the growth of placental trophoblasts is promoted in PE. © 2022 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
