مستخلص: Background: Preeclampsia is characterized by maternal endothelial activation and placental dysfunction. Imbalance in maternal angiogenic and vasoactive factors has been linked to the pathophysiology. The contribution of the placenta as a source of these factors remains unclear. Furthermore, little is known about fetal angiogenic and vasoactive proteins and the relation between maternal and fetal levels.
Objective: We describe placental growth factor, soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1, soluble endoglin, and endothelin 1-3 in 5 vessels in healthy pregnancies, early- and late-onset preeclampsia. Specifically, we aimed to (1) compare protein abundance in vessels at the maternal-fetal interface between early- and late-onset preeclampsia, and healthy pregnancies, (2) describe placental uptake and release of proteins, and (3) describe protein abundance in the maternal vs fetal circulations.
Study Design: Samples were collected from the maternal radial artery, uterine vein and antecubital vein, and fetal umbilical vein and artery in 75 healthy and 37 preeclamptic mother-fetus pairs (including 19 early-onset preeclampsia and 18 late-onset preeclampsia), during scheduled cesarean delivery. This method allows estimation of placental release and uptake of proteins by calculation of venoarterial differences on each side of the placenta. The microarray-based SomaScan assay quantified the proteins.
Results: The abundance of soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and endothelin 1 was higher in the maternal vessels in preeclampsia than in healthy pregnancies, with the highest abundance in early-onset preeclampsia. Placental growth factor was lower in the maternal vessels in early-onset preeclampsia than in both healthy and late-onset preeclampsia. Maternal endothelin 2 was higher in preeclampsia, with late-onset preeclampsia having the highest abundance. Our model confirmed placental release of placental growth factor and soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 to the maternal circulation in all groups. The placenta released soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 into the fetal circulation in healthy and late-onset preeclampsia pregnancies. Fetal endothelin 1 and soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 were higher in early-onset preeclampsia, whereas soluble endoglin and endothelin 3 were lower in both preeclampsia groups than healthy controls. Across groups, abundances of placental growth factor, soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1, and endothelin 3 were higher in the maternal artery than the fetal umbilical vein, whereas endothelin 2 was lower.
Conclusion: An increasing abundance of maternal soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and endothelin 1 across the groups healthy, late-onset preeclampsia and early-onset combined with a positive correlation may suggest that these proteins are associated with the pathophysiology and severity of the disease. Elevated endothelin 1 in the fetal circulation in early-onset preeclampsia represents a novel finding. The long-term effects of altered protein abundance in preeclampsia on fetal development and health remain unknown. Further investigation of these proteins' involvement in the pathophysiology and as treatment targets is warranted.
