Placental messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) has been shown to circulate in maternal plasma. We investigated concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor-1 (VEGFR-1), and endoglin in subjects with preeclampsia, compared with normal pregnancies.
Peripheral blood samples were obtained from preeclampsia (n = 43) and control subjects (n = 41). Plasma ribonucleic acid was subjected to analysis by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay to examine the mRNA distribution among women with preeclampsia and control subjects during weeks 35-41 of gestation.
Concentrations of VEGF, VEGFR-1, and endoglin mRNA of women with preeclampsia were significantly increased. The mRNA values were observed to correlate directly with the severity of hypertension and proteinuria. VEGFR-1 mRNA was markedly elevated in women with preeclampsia and hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet syndrome.
The mRNA concentrations of VEGF, VEGFR-1, and endoglin were observed to correlate directly with the severity of preeclampsia.
胎盘信使核糖核酸(mRNA)已被证明可在母体血浆中循环。我们研究了子痫前期患者与正常妊娠患者相比,血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)、VEGF受体-1(VEGFR-1)和内皮糖蛋白的浓度。
从子痫前期患者(n = 43)和对照受试者(n = 41)获取外周血样本。通过逆转录-聚合酶链反应分析对血浆核糖核酸进行分析,以检查妊娠第35 - 41周子痫前期患者和对照受试者中mRNA的分布情况。
子痫前期患者的VEGF、VEGFR-1和内皮糖蛋白mRNA浓度显著升高。观察到mRNA值与高血压和蛋白尿的严重程度直接相关。子痫前期合并溶血、肝酶升高和血小板减少综合征的患者VEGFR-1 mRNA明显升高。
观察到VEGF、VEGFR-1和内皮糖蛋白的mRNA浓度与子痫前期的严重程度直接相关。
