Objective: To investigate the changes of hsMAD2 protein and gene expression levels during chromosome segregation of human embryos. Method: The embryos of spontaneous abortion were collected in our hospital from 2009 to 2013, the chromosomal numbers of the embryonic villi were subsequently detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). The patients were then divided into the normal and abnormal groups based on the chromosome number. The hsMAD2 protein and gene expression levels in the villi tissues of the two embryo groups were detected by western blotting and qRT-PCR, respectively. The hsMAD2 protein and gene levels in the embryonic villus tissue of the patient were detected. Results: From 2009 to 2013, we collected 50 embryos from spontaneous abortion patients. The chromosome abnormality and no abnormality were 36 cases (abnormal number of 28 cases (56.0%) and chimerism in 8 cases (16.0%)) and 14 cases (28.0%), respectively. The expression of hsmad2 protein and its gene in the villi of spontaneously aborted embryo with chromosomal abnormality in the abnormal group was significantly higher than that in those without chromosomal abnormalities (0.88 ± 0.20 vs 0.61 ± 0.19, P < 0.05), (23.46 ± 0.07 vs 18.35 ± 0.10, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Abnormal number of chromosomes is closely related to spontaneous abortion Linked, hsMAD2 factor has a card effect on the cell cycle, can block the mitotic process of cells, and play an important role in maintaining the normal separation and stability of chromosomes.
