The angiogenic-antiangiogenic imbalance evident in preeclampsia (PE) may be used as a predictive tool to identify women likely to develop the clinical features in early pregnancy.
This retrospective study examined normotensive pregnant (n = 38) and preeclamptic (n = 38) HIV-infected and uninfected women to quantify sVEGFR-1 and -2 and PECAM-1 levels.
In contrast to PECAM-1, sVEGFR-1 and -2 differed according to pregnancy type (p = 0.07; p = 0.001; p = 0.002) but not by HIV status (p = 0.68; p = 0.13; p = 0.43).
Irrespective of the HIV status, we report an upregulation of sVEGFR-1 with concomitant decline of PECAM-1 and sVEGFR-2 levels in PE compared to normotensive pregnancies.
子痫前期(PE)中明显的血管生成 - 抗血管生成失衡可作为一种预测工具,用于识别在妊娠早期可能出现临床特征的女性。
这项回顾性研究检查了血压正常的孕妇(n = 38)和子痫前期孕妇(n = 38),这些孕妇均感染或未感染HIV,以量化可溶性血管内皮生长因子受体-1(sVEGFR-1)、可溶性血管内皮生长因子受体-2(sVEGFR-2)和血小板内皮细胞黏附分子-1(PECAM-1)水平。
与PECAM-1不同,sVEGFR-1和sVEGFR-2根据妊娠类型有所不同(p = 0.07;p = 0.001;p = 0.002),但不受HIV感染状态影响(p = 0.68;p = 0.13;p = 0.43)。
无论HIV感染状态如何,我们报告与血压正常的妊娠相比,子痫前期中sVEGFR-1上调,同时PECAM-1和sVEGFR-2水平下降。
