PLACENTAL BIOMARKERS: PP13, VEGF IN DIAGNOSTICS OF EARLY AND LATE PREECLAMPSIA.

Objective: The aim: To investigate role of CD23, VEGF and PP13 in diagnostics of early and late preeclampsia, and their benefit for prediction of preeclampsia.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: Investigation included 40 placentas from deliveries in women with preeclampsia (main group) and 40 placentas from physiological delivery in somatically healthy women, who had no complications during pregnancy (control group). Placentas in the main group were devided into two sub-groups (20 in each) - with early and late preeclampsia. Each group underwent both hystomorphometrical and immunohystochemical investigation with biomarkers CD23, VEGF and PP13.

Results: Results: Positive immunohystochemical reaction to PP13 was determined in all samples of syncitiotrophoblast of villi of chorion. Investigations showed that expression of PP13 in sub-groups with early and late preeclampsia was a lot lower comparing to control group (normal pregnancies). Positive immunohystochemical reaction to VEGF was determined in all samples of endothelia of the capillaries of the villi of chorion. Our investigation showed that expression of VEGF in sub-groups with early and late PE was a lot lower comparing to a control group. Immunohystochemical reaction to CD23 was comperatively lower in all samples in endothelia of the capillariesof the villi of chorion and cyncithiotrophoblast.

Conclusion: Conclusions: Determined specialties of the expression of angiogenic factors ( PlGF, VEGF, endoglin) and production of PP13, by altered expression of VEGF, PlGF in first trimester of pregnancy, which is associated with lowest production of PP13, accompanied by placental dysfunction and preeclampsia.
