Abstract Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-specific cardiovascular disorder, involving significant maternal endothelial dysfunction. Although inappropriate placentation due to aberrant angiogenesis, inflammation and shallow trophoblast invasion are the root causes of preeclampsia, pathogenic mechanisms poorly understood, particularly in early pregnancy. Here, we first confirm abnormal expression important vascular inflammatory proteins, FK506-binding protein-like (FKBPL) galectin-3 (Gal-3), human...

Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication marked by hypertension (≥ 140/90 mmHg) and proteinuria 300 mg/24 h), with an unclear pathogenesis involving inflammation dyslipidemia. This study aimed to longitudinally examine changes in lipid status parameters inflammatory markers pregnant women at high risk for PE those who developed PE. Among 91 women, 20 (PE group), 71 were high-risk (HR group). Both groups monitored four points: T1-first, T2-, T3-third trimester, T4-pre-delivery. Lipid...

Preeclampsia is a complex pregnancy disorder characterized by the new onset of hypertension and organ dysfunction, often leading to significant maternal fetal morbidity mortality. Placental dysfunction hallmark feature preeclampsia, which caused inappropriate trophoblast cell function in association with oxidative stress, inflammation and/or pathological hypoxia. This study explores role stress cell-based models mimicking preeclamptic placenta evaluates potential therapeutic strategies...

Abstract Preeclampsia is still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnancy without a cure. There are two phenotypes preeclampsia, early-onset (EOPE) late-onset (LOPE) with poorly defined pathogenic differences. This study aimed to facilitate better understanding mechanisms pathophysiology EOPE LOPE, identify specific biomarkers or therapeutic targets. In this study, we conducted an untargeted, label-free quantitative proteomic analyses plasma samples from pregnant women (n =...
