Project description:Background: Platelets may be pivotal mediators of the thrombo-haemorrhagic complications of preeclampsia (PE), linking inflammation and thrombosis with endothelial and vascular dysfunction. While gestational hypertension (GH) falls within the spectrum of hypertensive complications of pregnancy and is a risk factor for preeclampsia, it is unclear what biomarkers distinguish PE from GH. Aim: To identify specific plasma and platelet thrombo-inflammatory biomarkers indicative of preeclampsia and distinguish PE from GH. Methods: We performed multiplex immunoassays, assessed platelet and plasma proteomics and metabolomics data of PE patients, and compared with non-pregnant (NP), healthy pregnant (PC) and GH participants. Results: We report plasma proteins upregulated, enriched plasma metabolites and proteins distinctly overexpressed in platelets of PE and GH compared to NP and PC. Whilst procoagulation in PC may be fibrinogen driven, Inter-Alpha-Trypsin Inhibitors ITIH2 and ITIH3 were enriched in hypertensive complications of pregnancy (PE and GH), and fibronectin and S100A8/9 may be major procoagulant agonists in PE but not GH. In addition, platelet leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 27 and 42 (LRRC27/42) subunits of volume-regulated VRAC anion channels were markedly overexpressed in preeclampsia and may contribute to the heightened glucose sensitivity and the pro-thrombotic tendency of this disorder. Additionally, our multiplex immunoassays confirmed previous reports of increases in preeclampsia plasma cytokines, including SDF-1α, which can directly activate platelets; but also, i-309 and CTACK cytokines, whose effects on platelets we explored using STRING analysis. Conclusion: We identified biomarkers that may be monitored for preeclampsia onset and progression, and distinguish PE from GH. Also, through protein-protein interactions analysis, we generated a new hypothesis for platelets’ contribution to the thrombo-inflammatory states of preeclampsia.

Project description:Preeclampsia is a life-threatening disorder of pregnancy unique to humans. Interleukin (IL)11 is elevated in serum from pregnancies that subsequently develop early-onset preeclampsia and pharmacological elevation of IL11 in pregnant mice causes the development of preeclampsia-like features (hypertension and proteinuria), however, the mechanism by which IL11 drives preeclampsia-like features is unknown. Using Next-generation sequencing we demonstrate that treatment with PEGylated IL11 (PEGIL11) inhibited placental expression of markers of spongiotrophoblast and syncytiotrophoblast linages and increased placental cathepsin production in wild-type and Asc-/- mice. Function studies showed that IL11 acts via Asc inflammasomes to induce tissue fibrosis and preeclampsia in mice. This study has far-reaching implications on our understanding of the underlying etiology of preeclampsia and the mechanism by which IL11 causes inflammation and fibrosis in many tissues and disease states.

Project description:Hypertension in pregnancy is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in pregnancy, affecting up to 10% of all gestations1. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy include chronic hypertension, gestational hypertension, eclampsia and pre-eclampsia, all of which increase the risk of complications in both mothers and babies during gestation. Preeclampsia, in particular, is characterised by the new-onset of gestational hypertension in the presence of proteinuria or other organ damage. It affects 5-7% of pregnancies and causes approximately 76,000 maternal deaths and 500,000 foetal deaths worldwide each year2. The classification of preeclampsia has been evolving over the last decade. In 2013, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) in the absence of proteinuria included other symptoms/features including liver dysfunction, thrombocytopenia, cerebrovascular events or foetal growth restriction (FGR) in the diagnosis of preeclampsia 1,3,4. Despite the fact that preeclampsia is a multifactorial and heterogeneous disorder, it is now widely accepted that preeclampsia is stratified depending on the time of onset into: i) early-onset PE (EOPE) manifested before 34 weeks of gestation, and ii) late-onset PE (LOPE) manifested from 34 weeks of gestation. Although EOPE and LOPE share the same diagnostic criteria, these two phenotypes of preeclampsia lead to different outcomes. EOPE is commonly associated with FGR, abnormal uterine artery Doppler often leading to preterm birth and higher risk of post-pregnancy morbidities5,6. On the other hand, LOPE appears to be a less severe disorder, often with normal or slightly increased uterine resistance index and a low rate of FGR6,7. Distinct delineation between EOPE and LOPE is still not well understood, with most patients with preeclampsia presenting elements of both pathologies proposing a clinical spectrum for preeclampsia. The lack of untargeted discovery studies involving ‘omics’ analyses has impeded understanding of the molecular differences between these two phenotypes of preeclampsia. Notably, a study from 20058 utilised a proteomics approach using urine samples from a cohort of pregnant women with EOPE and healthy controls, however the differences between EOPE and LOPE were not elucidated. Another more recent bioinformatics study, identified overlapping pathogenic mechanisms between preeclampsia, hypertension and heart disease but could not stratify between EOPE and LOPE due to underreported of data related to individual phenotypes9. In this study, we conducted an unbiased, comprehensive proteomics investigation using plasma samples collected from patients with EOPE (n=17) and LOPE (n=11), compared with age- and BMI-matched normotensive controls (n=18). The use of plasma samples is able to better reflect the pathogenesis of EOPE and LOPE as systemic conditions centred by widespread endothelial dysfunction.

Project description:The aim of the study was to compare gene expression profiles in decidua basalis from cases with complicated pregnancies to those from healthy pregnant controls. Cases included pregnant women with preeclampsia (PE) and/or fetal growth restriction (FGR). Decidual tissue was obtained by vacuum suction of the placental bed after the placenta was delivered. Women with PE and/or FGR were included as cases. PE was defined as persistent hypertension (blood pressure (BP) ¡Ý 140/90 mm Hg), plus proteinuria (¡Ý0.3g/24 h or ¡Ý2+ according to a dipstick test), developing after 20 weeks of pregnancy. FGR implied birth weight under 2 standard deviations (SD) below the expected birth weight, as related to gestational age (GA) and sex. Due to tissue sampling procedures, only cases delivered by cesarean section (CS) were included. Healthy women with normal pregnancies, undergoing CS for various reasons considered irrelevant to the aim of this study (e. g. breech presentation and previous CS), served as controls. Tissue was immediately submerged in a RNA stabilisation solution (RNAlater, Ambion, Huntingdon, U.K.), incubated at 4¡ãC overnight and stored at -80¡ãC

Project description:Preeclampsia is a severe placenta-related pregnancy disorder that is generally divided into two subtypes named early-onset preeclampsia (onset <34 weeks of gestation), and lateonset preeclampsia (onset ≥34 weeks of gestation), with distinct pathophysiological origins. Both forms of preeclampsia have been associated with maternal systemic inflammation. However, alterations in the placental immune system have been less well characterized. Here, we studied immunological alterations in early- and late-onset preeclampsia placentas using a targeted expression profile approach. RNA was extracted from snap-frozen placenta samples (healthy n=13, early-onset preeclampsia n=13, and late-onset preeclampsia n=6). The expression of 730 immune-related genes from the Pan Cancer Immune Profiling Panel was measured, and the data were analyzed Q10 in the advanced analysis module of nSolver software (NanoString Technology). The results showed that early-onset preeclampsia placentas displayed reduced expression of complement, and toll-like receptor (TLR) associated genes, specifically TLR1 and TLR4. Mast cells and M2 macrophages were also decreased in early-onset preeclampsia compared to healthy pl acentas. The findings were confirmed by an immunohistochemistry approach using 20 healthy, 19 early-onset preeclampsia, and 10 late-onset preeclampsia placentas. We conclude that the placental innate immune system is altered in early-onset preeclampsia compared to uncomplicated pregnancies. The absence of these alterations in late-onset preeclampsia placentas indicates dissimilar immunological profiles. The study revealed distinct pathophysiological processes in earlyonset and late-onset preeclampsia placentas and imply that a tailored treatment to each subtype is desirable.

Project description:Background: Preeclampsia, traditionally characterized by high blood pressure and proteinuria, is a common pregnancy complication, which affects 2-8% of all pregnancies. Although children born to women with preeclampsia have a higher risk of hypertension in later life, the mechanism of this increased risk is unknown. DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that has been studied as a mediator of cellular memory of adverse exposures in utero. Since each cell type in the body has a unique DNA profile, cell subtype composition is a major confounding factor in studies of tissues with heterogeneous cell types. The best way to avoid this confounding effect is by using purified cell types. However, the use purified cell types in large cohort translational studies is difficult. The amnion, the inner layer of the fetal membranes of placenta, is derived from the epiblast and consists of two cell types, which are easy to isolate from the delivered placenta. In this study, we demonstrate the value of using amnion samples for DNA methylation studies, revealing distinctive patterns between fetuses exposed to preeclampsia or hypertension and fetuses from normal pregnancies. Results: We performed a genome-wide DNA methylation analysis, HELP-tagging, on 62 amnion samples from placentas of uncomplicated, normal pregnancies, and those with complications of preeclampsia or hypertension. Using a regression model approach, we found 123, 85 and 99 loci with high confidence hypertension-associated, proteinuria-associated and hypertension and proteinuria-associated DNA methylation changes, respectively. We also found that these differentially methylated regions overlap loci previously reported as differentially methylated regions in preeclampsia. Conclusions: Our findings support prior observations that preeclampsia is associated with changes of DNA methylation near genes that have previously been found to be dysregulated in preeclampsia. We propose that amnionic membranes represent a valuable surrogate fetal tissue on which to perform epigenome-wide association studies of adverse intrauterine conditions.

Project description:Preeclampsia complicates more than 3% of all pregnancies in the United States and Europe. High-risk populations include women with diabetes, dyslipidemia, thrombotic disorders, hyperhomocysteinemia, hypertension, renal diseases, previous preeclampsia, twin pregnancies, and low socioeconomic status. In the latter case, the incidence may increase to 20% to 25%. Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is defined by systolic blood pressure of more than 140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure of more than 90 mm Hg after 20 weeks gestation in a previously normotensive patient, and new-onset proteinuria. Abnormal placentation associated with shallow trophoblast invasion (fetal cells from outer cell layer of the blastocyst) into endometrium (decidua) and improper spiral artery remodeling in the decidua are initial pathological steps. In this study we analyzed the renin-angiotensin system in adipose tissue, decidua and placenta from women with uneventful pregnancy and women with preeclampsia. We also analyzed the tissue by Affymetrix chips in a comparison study (control vs. preeclampsia) Experiment Overall Design: 6 affymetrix human expression chips (GPL570) were analyzed. Experiment Overall Design: They represent 3 tissues (pooled from 10 individuals each) from patients with preeclampsia and from patients with uneventful pregnancy (collected by cesaraen section). Tissues from patients with uneventful pregnancy are the controls in comparison to tissues of patients with preeclampsia.

Project description:Introduction: To determine the miRNA expression profile in pregnancies complicated by Preeclampsia (PE) and compare it to uncomplicated pregnancies. Methods: Seventeen placentas from women with PE, [all of them being late onset PE (LOPE)], as well as 17 placentas from uncomplicated pregnancies were analyzed using miRNA NGS. For statistical analyses the MATLAB® simulation environment was applied. The expression of miR-99b and miR-23b were verified using Quantitative Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction. Results: Two miRNAs were found dysregulated in PE complicated placentas. Statistical analysis revealed that miR-99b and miR-23b were under-expressed in complicated placentas as compared to controls. Discussion: Since specific miRNAs can differentiate complicated from uncomplicated pregnancies, they may be considered as putative PE-specific biomarkers.
