摘要
Few studies evaluated angiogenic/anti-angiogenic factors and endothelial (dys) function in both maternal and umbilical cord blood (UCB) in preeclampsia (PE). We aimed to clarify the role of placental growth factor (PlGF), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 1 (VEGFR-1) and tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), by evaluating them in maternal and UCB in 42 normal and 46 preeclamptic (PEc) cases. In PE, maternal and UCB PlGF were significantly lower; maternal VEGF, sVEGFR-1 and tPA were significantly higher. In UCB, sVEGFR-1 and tPA were significantly higher in PEc cases, while VEGF and PlGF were significantly lower. A significant correlation between maternal and UCB sVEGFR-1, and between sVEGFR-1 and tPA both in maternal and UCB, was observed in PEc cases. In maternal and UCB circulation in PE, a close interaction seems to exist between endothelial dysfunction and angiogenesis disturbance, and sVEGFR-1 seems to play a central role in those disturbances.
