Blood coagulation tests were determined in fifty-three paired umbilical cord blood and maternal venous blood samples originating from term singleton vaginal cephalic deliveries. The index group comprised seventeen deliveries complicated by preeclampsia or eclampsia, and the control group comprised thirty-six healthy women with uneventful pregnancies and deliveries. Mean values obtained from the coagulation and fibrinolytic assays did not significantly differ between study groups, except for antithrombin III levels in index group of neonates, which were significantly lower. Comparison of coagulation and fibrinolytic characteristics between mothers and their neonates produced expected level of difference due to immaturity of their haemostatic mechanisms. We found alterations in maternal blood coagulation and fibrinolysis and evidence of increased intravascular coagulation with severe preeclampsia and IUGR. 相似文献

Endothelial dysfunction as a result of dysregulation of anti-angiogenic molecules secreted by the placenta leads to the maternal hypertensive response characteristic of the pregnancy complication of preeclampsia. Structural abnormalities in the placenta have been proposed to result in altered placental perfusion, placental oxidative stress, cellular damage and inflammation and the release of anti-angiogenic compounds into the maternal circulation. The exact link between these factors is unclear. Here we show, using Magnetic Resonance Imaging as a tool to examine placental changes in mouse models of perturbed pregnancies, that T
2 contrast between distinct regions of the placenta is abolished at complete loss of blood flow. Alterations in T
2 (spin-spin or transverse) relaxation times are explained as a consequence of hypoxia and acidosis within the tissue. Similar changes are observed in perturbed pregnancies, indicating that acidosis as well as hypoxia may be a feature of pregnancy complications such as preeclampsia and may play a prominent role in the signalling pathways that lead to the increased secretion of anti-angiogenic compounds. 相似文献

BackgroundPreeclampsia, a rapidly progressing pregnancy-specific multi-systemic syndrome is globally the leading cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. This study aims to evaluate the serum total Lactate dehydrogenase levels in women with preeclampsia when compared to normotensive pregnant women and assess the electrophoretic pattern of the LDH isoenzymes in normal pregnancy, preeclampsia and eclampsia.MethodsThe study, carried out in the Department of Biochemistry of MVJ Medical College, included 30 patients of preeclampsia and 30 normotensive gestational age-matched pregnant women admitted to the Department of OBG. Serum total LDH was analysed by DGKC method. Serum and cord blood samples for isoenzyme distribution analysis were collected from a normal pregnant woman undergoing delivery, a woman with mild eclampsia, two women with eclampsia, and analysed by slab gel electrophoresis followed by activity staining.ResultsLDH was significantly elevated in cases as well as between the case (mild and severe) groups, showed a moderate positive statistically significant correlation with systolic, diastolic blood pressure and a sensitivity of 50% and a specificity of 80%. Further, the isoenzyme pattern showed a decreasing distribution of aerobic forms of LDH in preeclampsia-eclampsia.ConclusionsSerum total LDH may serve as a robust and affordable marker of preeclampsia. Serum total LDH, along with its isoenzyme profile, might serve as a predictor and a stronger marker of preeclampsia when compared to serum LDH analysis alone. It may also be used to assess the severity of preeclampsia and hence help in predicting and preventing adverse maternal and foetal outcomes. 相似文献

The coagulation and fibrinolytic mechanisms were investigated in a group of patients with severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia and the findings were compared with those of healthy women in late pregnancy. In patients with pre-eclampsia the following significant differences were found: (1) greater depression of plasma fibrinolytic activity (euglobulin lysis time) than in normal pregnancy, (2) a higher level of inhibitor to urokinaseinduced lysis, (3) increased levels of serum fibrin degradation products, and (4) reduced platelet counts.In patients with eclampsia a progressive increase of the level of serum fibrin degradation products was found over the three days following eclamptic seizures. No such increase occurred after grand mal seizures in late pregnancy. The findings in this study support the view that intravascular clotting is taking place in pre-eclampsia and that this disturbance of the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis may be localized to certain areas of the vascular compartment, particularly the placental and renal circulations. Fibrin deposition in the maternal vessels supplying the placenta would impair the placental blood flow, which may explain the placental insufficiency which occurs in pre-eclampsia. Likewise fibrin deposition in the renal vasculature will result in glomerular damage and proteinuria. Hypertension may be related to the renal ischaemic changes or a compensatory response to the presence of fibrin deposition in the vascular compartment. This evidence of intravascular fibrin deposition raises the question of the possible therapeutic value of antithrombotic agents to inhibit the clotting process. On a theoretical basis such treatment might be expected to improve blood flow to the placenta and thereby fetal growth. 相似文献

The etiology and pathogenesis of the pregnancy syndrome preeclampsia remain poorly understood. There is substantial evidence to suggest that the diverse manifestations of preeclampsia, including altered vascular reactivity, vasospasm, and discrete pathology in many organ systems, are derived from pathologic changes within the maternal vascular endothelium. With the theme of endothelial cell dysfunction emphasized, this review focuses on the role of oxidative stress (an imbalance favoring oxidant over antioxidant forces) in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Data are summarized regarding 1) the role of the placenta in preeclampsia; 2) evidence and mechanisms of oxidative stress in the preeclampsia placenta; 3) markers of oxidative stress in the maternal circulation; and 4) the potential role of maternal dyslipidemia in generation of oxidative stress. A recurrent theme is that free radical reactions, promoted by "cross-talk" between the diseased placenta and maternal dyslipidemia, promote a vicious cycle of events that make cause and effect difficult to distinguish but likely contribute to the progression of preeclampsia. 相似文献

Preeclampsia (PE) is a serious medically important disorder of human pregnancy, which features de novo pregnancy-induced hypertension and proteinuria. The severe form of PE can progress to eclampsia, a convulsive, life-threatening condition. When placental growth and perfusion are abnormal, the placenta experiences oxidative stress and subsequently secretes abnormal amounts of certain pro-angiogenic factors (eg, PlGF) as well as anti-angiogenic factors (eg, sFlt-1) that enter the maternal circulation. The net effect is damage to the maternal vascular endothelium, which subsequently manifests as the clinical features of PE. Other than delivery of the fetus and placenta, curative treatments for PE have not yet been forthcoming, which reflects the complexity of the clinical syndrome. A major source of reactive oxygen species that contributes to the widespread maternal vascular endothelium damage is the PE-affected decidua. The role of decidua-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) in normotensive and pathological placenta development is poorly understood. The ability to respond to an environment of oxidative damage is a “universal property” of MSC but the biological mechanisms that MSC employ in response to oxidative stress are compromised in PE. In this review, we discuss how MSC respond to oxidative stress in normotensive and pathological conditions. We also consider the possibility of manipulating the oxidative stress response of abnormal MSC as a therapeutic strategy to treat preeclampsia. 相似文献

Preeclampsia is characterized by an imbalance between two cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, thromboxane and prostacyclin, that favors thromboxane. Because of the biologic actions of these two eicosanoids, this imbalance might explain major clinical symptoms of preeclampsia, such as hypertension, platelet aggregation and reduced uteroplacental blood flow. In the maternal circulation, this imbalance is primarily manifested by decreased production of prostacyclin by endothelial cells. Platelet thromboxane synthesis is only increased in severe preeclampsia. In the placenta and in leukocytes, the imbalance is exacerbated by increased production of thromboxane coupled with decreased production of prostacyclin in both mild and severe preeclampsia. Longitudinal measurements of urinary metabolites of thromboxane and prostacyclin reveal that the thromboxane/prostacyclin imbalance predates the onset of clinical symptoms of preeclampsia. The imbalance between thromboxane and prostacyclin is most likely caused by oxidative stress, which is manifest in preeclampsia by increased lipid peroxidation and decreased antioxidant protection. Oxidative stress may drive this imbalance because lipid peroxides activate the cyclooxygenase enzyme to increase thromboxane synthesis, but at the same time they inhibit prostacyclin synthase to decrease prostacyclin synthesis. Low-dose aspirin therapy (50-150 mg/day) has been considered for the prevention of preeclampsia because it selectively inhibits thromboxane synthesis. Several studies reported dramatic decreases in the incidence of preeclampsia with low-dose aspirin therapy. However, two large multicenter studies reported only modest decreases, which dampened enthusiasm. The two large studies were "intent to treat" studies which included patients who were noncompliant and who discontinued the use of aspirin. In one of the studies for which compliance statistics were available only 53% of the aspirin group had a compliance rate greater than 75%, which raises a question as to whether the effectiveness of aspirin was being tested. Low-dose aspirin therapy should not yet be dismissed for the prevention of preeclampsia, but be reconsidered with emphasis on compliance using doses of aspirin in the range of 100-150 mg/day combined with antioxidants. 相似文献

Background
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are an important class of pervasive genes involved in a variety of biological functions. They are aberrantly expressed in many types of diseases. In this study, we aimed to investigate the lncRNA profiles in preeclampsia. Preeclampsia has been observed in patients with molar pregnancy where a fetus is absent, which demonstrate that the placenta is sufficient to cause this condition. Thus, we analyzed the lncRNA profiles in preeclampsia placentas.Methodology/Principal Findings
In this study, we described the lncRNA profiles in six preeclampsia placentas (T) and five normal pregnancy placentas (N) using microarray. With abundant and varied probes accounting for 33,045 LncRNAs in our microarray, 28,443 lncRNAs that were expressed at a specific level were detected. From the data, we found 738 lncRNAs that were differentially expressed (≥1.5-fold-change) among preeclampsia placentas compared with controls. Coding-non-coding gene co-expression networks (CNC network) were constructed based on the correlation analysis between the differentially expressed lncRNAs and mRNAs. According to the CNC network and GO analysis of differentially expressed lncRNAs/mRNAs, we selected three lncRNAs to analyze the relationship between lncRNAs and preeclampsia. LOC391533, LOC284100, and CEACAMP8 were evaluated using qPCR in 40 preeclampsia placentas and 40 controls. These results revealed that three lncRNAs were aberrantly expressed in preeclampsia placentas compared with controls.Conclusions/Significance
Our study is the first study to determine the genome-wide lncRNAs expression patterns in preeclampsia placenta using microarray. These results revealed that clusters of lncRNAs were aberrantly expressed in preeclampsia placenta compared with controls, which indicated that lncRNAs differentially expressed in preeclampsia placenta might play a partial or key role in preeclampsia development. Misregulation of LOC391533, LOC284100, and CEACAMP8 might contribute to the mechanism underlying preeclampsia. Taken together, this study may provide potential targets for the future treatment of preeclampsia and novel insights into preeclampsia biology. 相似文献13.

BackgroundPreeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific disorder characterised by an inappropriate maternal inflammatory response during pregnancy. High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) was originally characterised as a nuclear protein but when released into the extracellular environment following necrotic cell death, it is proinflammatory. HMGB1 is expressed in the syncytiotrophoblast of human placenta. Higher levels of uric acid are reported in preeclampsia. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the expression of HMGB1differed between early onset and late onset preeclampsia or severe and mild preeclampsia and whether its expression correlated with the levels of uric acid.Methods74 preeclamptic placentae and 110 normotensive placentae were included in this study. The levels of uric acid in women with preeclampsia were measured. The expression of HMGB1 in preeclamptic placentae or in first trimester and term placentae that had been treated with uric acid was measured.ResultsHMGB1 was expressed predominantly in the syncytiotrophoblast of the placenta and the expression of HMGB1 in the cytoplasm of the syncytiotrophoblast was significantly increased in both severe preeclampsia and early onset preeclampsia compared to normotensive pregnancies. The circulating levels of uric acid were significantly increased in preeclampsia and correlated with the expression of HMGB1. Increased levels of HMGB1 were significantly correlated with the severity and the time of onset of preeclampsia, but pathologic levels of uric acid did not increase the expression of HMGB1.ConclusionOur data provides a better understanding of the function of HMGB1, a danger molecule in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. 相似文献

Studies over the last decade have provided exciting new insights into potential mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The initiating event in preeclampsia is generally regarded to be placental ischemia/hypoxia, which in turn results in the elaboration of a variety of factors from the placenta that generates profound effects on the cardiovascular system. This host of molecules includes factors such as soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1, the angiotensin II type 1 receptor autoantibody, and cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha, which generate widespread dysfunction of the maternal vascular endothelium. This dysfunction manifests as enhanced formation of factors such as endothelin, reactive oxygen species, and augmented vascular sensitivity to angiotensin II. Alternatively, the preeclampsia syndrome may also be evidenced as decreased formation of vasodilators such as nitric oxide and prostacyclin. Taken together, these alterations cause hypertension by impairing renal pressure natriuresis and increasing total peripheral resistance. Moreover, the quantitative importance of the various endothelial and humoral factors that mediate vasoconstriction and elevation of arterial pressure during preeclampsia remains to be elucidated. Thus identifying the connection between placental ischemia/hypoxia and maternal cardiovascular abnormalities in hopes of revealing potential therapeutic regimens remains an important area of investigation and will be the focus of this review. 相似文献

We have suggested that a novel endothelin-1 with 31 amino acids [ET-1 (1-31)] plays an important role in fetal circulation, owing to a strong contractile activity on the umbilical artery. To clarify the pathophysiological significance of ET-1 (1-31) in the development of severe preeclampsia, its contractile activities on human umbilical arteries and uterine smooth muscle from patients with preeclampsia were studied. The contraction by ET-1 (1-31) was stronger in uterine smooth muscle of the patients with severe preeclampsia than that of normal subjects. On the contrary, the constriction of umbilical artery of the patients with eclampsia was significantly weaker than that of normal pregnant women. The stronger contraction of myometrium by ET-1 (1-31) in patients with severe preeclampsia observed for the first time in the present study suggests that ET-1 (1-31) might be involved in the development of preeclampsia. 相似文献

Serum levels of fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products, measured in African women, were significantly higher in pre-eclamptic toxaemia than in normal pregnancy, and were significantly higher with eclampsia than with toxaemia. These findings are in accord with the hypothesis that eclampsia and toxaemia are associated with disseminated intravascular coagulation, which may be responsible for certain clinical manifestations of these conditions. 相似文献

AIM: To evaluate whether IL-6 concentrations in the placenta and blood from women with preeclampsia differed from those in normal pregnancies. METHODS: This study involved 41 pregnant women carrying single fetuses. Of these pregnancies, 23 were normal pregnant and 18 were preeclamptic patients. The average gestational age at entry was 37-38 weeks of gestation. Blood was collected before the onset of labor. Serum was separated and stored at -20 degrees C. A tissue segment of the placenta was cut and chilled in liquid nitrogen immediately after delivery and stored at -80 degrees C. The frozen tissue was added to phosphate-buffered saline and fully homogenized. After centrifugation, the separated supernatant was stored at -80 degrees C. IL-6 levels in separated serum and IL-6 and total protein (TP) levels in separated supernatant were measured. The presence of IL-6 in the placenta was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in five preeclamptic and five normal pregnant patients. RESULTS: Neither IL-6/TP levels in the placenta nor IL-6 levels in blood differed significantly between the two groups. IL-6 immunostaining on trophoblastic cells in the placenta was weak in one and absent in four in normal pregnancies, and absent in all patients with preeclampsia. There was no strong immunostaining for IL-6 in preeclampsia by immunohistochemistry. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that IL-6 in the placenta and blood does not play a significant role in the induction of an immunologic imbalance, which may contribute to the etiological mechanism leading to preeclampsia. 相似文献
