Arterial stiffness in women previously with preeclampsia from a semi-rural region of South Africa

Women with pre-eclampsia have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. The aim of the study was to establish the presence and pattern of arterial stiffness in women previously with pre-eclampsia from a semi-rural region of South Africa. This was a prospective longitudinal study which involved 36 previously pre-eclamptic women and 86 non-pregnant controls (NPC) who had a past history of non-complicated pregnancy. Maternal wave reflection (augmentation index) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity were assessed noninvasively, using applanation tonometry with the SphygmoCor device. Endothelial function was assessed by EndoPAT 2000 device; pneumatic probes were fitted to the index fingers; induced flow-mediated reactive hyperemia; the ratio of the readings before and after occlusion was then used to calculate the score, the reactive hyperemia index (RHI) as a measure of endothelial function.

Pulse wave velocity remained significantly higher in previously pre-eclamptic women than non-pregnant controls up to three months after delivery (p < 0.05), then it reduced to nonsignificant values. All blood pressure indices (central and brachial pressures), were higher in previously pre-eclamptic women as compared to nonpregnant controls up to one year postpartum.

Regional (aortic) arterial stiffness, though it persists for some time after delivery, is transitory in previously pre-eclamptic women from the rural Africa setting. However, their increase blood pressure is an indication of compromised arterial compliance in women previously with pre-eclampsia.     

Pieces of the preeclampsia puzzle.

Introduction Several interesting articles have been published recently thataddress novel mechanisms for preeclampsia. These mechanismsall involve circulating factors, a favourite topic for preeclampsiaresearchers. These factors may interfere with angiogenesis,engage angiotensin (Ang) II signalling, and directly impairendothelial function. VEGF, PlGF and sFlt1 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) must be very busyduring pregnancy. The growth factor’s receptor, fms-liketyrosine kinase 1 (Flt1), exists in two forms, namely a membrane-boundreceptor tyrosine kinase that transmits angiogenic signals anda soluble secreted ectodomain (sFlt1), which may capture VEGFand keep the growth factor from its active bound receptor.

The expression of human leukocyte antigen-G on trophoblasts abolishes the growth-suppressing effect of interleukin-2 towards them

PROBLEM: We have shown the attenuated human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G expression on trophoblasts and an aberrant expression of interleukin (IL)-2, a cytotoxic cytokine, in decidual tissue in preeclampsia, where deteriorated trophoblastic invasion into decidual layers may constitute a crucial pathogenesis. We hypothesized that the absence of HLA-G might make trophoblasts susceptible to compromise by IL-2. METHOD OF STUDY: We analyzed the growth of HLA-G-negative and positive cell lines, all of which possessed IL-2 receptors, in the culture with or without IL-2 supplementation. RESULTS: The proliferation of HLA-G positive trophoblastic cell lines (BeWo and JEG-3) was not influenced by the addition of IL-2, whereas a HLA-G-negative trophoblastic cell line (JAR) exhibited significantly decreased proliferation when cultured with IL-2. Interestingly, the transfection of JAR cells with HLA-G completely eliminates the growth-inhibitory effect of IL-2. CONCLUSION: The expression of HLA-G may commit trophoblasts to evade cell damage by IL-2, which may be relevant to maternal tolerance of the fetus during pregnancy and its derangement as exemplified by preeclampsia.     

滋养层细胞侵入相关基因在先兆子痫胎盘中的表达

探讨与滋养层侵入有关的细胞外基质分子相关基因在先兆子痫胎盘中的表达，采用分别点样有220余种人细胞因子相关基因和人类激素相关基因cDNA片段的两款基因芯片，检测经过严格配伍的先兆子痫和正常胎盘组织的基因表达谱差异。结果显示：钙粘蛋白、胶原、整合素、选择蛋白等18种细胞外基质分子基因的表达在先兆子痫和正常胎盘组织间相差2倍以上，且全部表现为在先兆子痫胎盘中的表达增强。先兆子痫患者的胎盘组织中基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)-10、-13、-15和金属蛋白酶组织抑制因子(TIMP)-2、TIMP-3、纤溶酶原、纤溶酶原激活物等的表达均较正常者高。提示胎盘中细胞外基质分子及其降解酶基因表达异常可能与先兆子痫的病理发生关系密切。

The procoagulant activity of red blood cells from patients with severe preeclampsia

OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to determine whether red blood cells from patients with severe preeclampsia may exhibit increased membrane exposure of procoagulant phospholipids (i.e., phosphatidylserine), which may initiate intravascular clotting and platelet activation. STUDY DESIGN: The study group comprised 28 women: 9 with severe preeclampsia in the third trimester of pregnancy, 10 normotensive with uncomplicated pregnancies, and 9 age-matched, nonpregnant, healthy women. The exposure of phosphatidylserine on the outer membrane phospholipid layer was analyzed with use of isolated, washed red blood cells that were added as a source of phospholipids to a “prothrombinase” coagulation complex. RESULTS: The resultant thrombin formed was measured by an amidolytic assay. Thrombin generation significantly increased on the addition of red blood cells from women with preeclampsia (741 ± 132 mU/ml/min) compared with red blood cells from normotensive pregnant (422 ± 228 mU/ml/min) and nonpregnant women (316 ± 268 mU/ml/min, p = 0.0008). CONCLUSION: This study indicates that in patients with preeclampsia the red blood cells exhibit a significant procoagulant surface that may trigger thrombin formation, thereby playing a role in the hypercoagulable state.(Am J Obstet Gynecol 1997;177:6)
