Long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) has been reported to play a significant role in regulating the functions of trophoblasts in RSA. However, the impact and potential mechanism of lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 12 (lncSNHG12) remain unclear. The role of lncSNHG12 in RSA was investigated through in vivo experiments and clinical samples. Co-IP and RNA pull down were conducted to explore the molecular mechanisms in trophoblasts. Our results showed that lncSNHG12 promoted the migration and invasion of trophoblasts by interacting with Iodothyronine deiodinase 2 (Dio2), which regulating the EMT process of trophoblasts by interacting with Snail. Moreover, in vivo experiments confirmed that lncSNHG12 could improve the fetal absorption rate of the abortion mice. The clinical samples revealed that lncSNHG12, Dio2 and Snail were down-regulated in the villous tissues of RSA patients, and positive correlations were confirmed between lncSNHG12 and Dio2, as well as Dio2 and Snail. In summary, the lncSNHG12/Dio2/Snail axis might be involved in the development of RSA by regulating the invasion and migration of trophoblasts.
