To investigate the association between pregnancies with small for gestational age (SGA) neonates and the concentration of cell-free fetal DNA or cell-free total DNA in maternal plasma during the first and second trimesters using tissue-specific epigenetic characteristics of the SERPINB5 gene.A nested case–control study was conducted with maternal plasma collected at 11 to 26 gestational weeks from...
Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) is a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) binding protein and potent antagonist of VEGF. Alpha 2 macroglobulin (α 2 M) is another major binding protein for circulating VEGF, which is present in human plasma at higher concentration (2–4 mg/mL) than sFlt-1. This study investigated the effects of sFlt-1 and α 2 M on VEGF-induced endothelin-1...
Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX-1) was originally identified as a receptor for oxidatively modified low-density lipoprotein. It has been reported that oxidative stress and hyperlipidemia play important roles in the etiology of preeclampsia, and that placental oxidative stress may stimulate syncytiotrophoblast apoptosis in preeclampsia. In this study, we examined the expression...
