The Expression and Significance of Kisspeptins in Plasma and Placenta of Early Pregnancy

Objective：To study the expression levels of kisspeptins in the plasma and placenta tissue,and investigate its origin and significance in early pregnancy.Methods：Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）,plasma kisspeptins were detected and analyzed its correlation with human chorionic gonadotropin（hCG） in 40 eases of pregnant women and 35 nornial non-pregnant women.Immunohistochemistry revealed histological localization of kisspeptin.Results： （1）Pregnant women had significantly higher plasma kisspeptin levels（982.46±239.41 pmol/L） than nonpregnant women（3.57±0.37pmol/L）（P0.001）.（2）Plasma levels of kisspeptins in pregnant women has a signifi- cant positive correlation with hCG（r=0.84,P=0.015）.（3） Immunohistocheniistry demonstrated that kisspeptins were strongly expressed in decidual cells and the syncytiotrophoblast,and weakly expressed in cytotrophoblast cells of chorionic villi,but not in extravillous trophoblasts.Conclusion：The expression levels of kisspeptins were significantly increased in early pregnancy,which may come from the decidual and placental tissue,and expression level of kisspeptins in the plasma could be used as a complementary marker for pregnancy.
