The remodeling of maternal spiral artery following embryo implantation, which relies on well‐regulated trophoblast functions, is a pivotal process to ensure a successful pregnancy. Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) and microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) are suggested to be involved in angiogenesis and several vascular diseases; however, their functions in the control of trophoblast remain elusive. We therefore aimed to examine the roles of LRP6 and miR‐590‐3p in the regulation of trophoblast during the remodeling of maternal spiral artery.
