Methods
NO concentration, ADMA content, NOS activity, expression levels of NOS and PRMTs in decidual tissues were determined using conventional assay kits or western blotting. PRMT3 expression was further analysed in decidual stromal cells, macrophages and natural killer cells. A co-culture system between decidual macrophages (DMs) and HTR-8/SVneo trophoblasts was constructed to study the roles of the PRMT3/ADMA/NO signalling pathway. Trophoblast apoptosis was analysed via Annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate/propidium iodide staining. CBA/J × DBA/2 mouse models were used to investigate the effects of SGC707 on embryo resorption rates. Main
