The role of hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha in preeclampsia pathogenesis

Tal, Reshef·2012·Biology of Reproduction

Abstract

Preeclampsia affects 5%-8% of pregnancies and is the leading worldwide cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Preeclampsia is associated with shallow trophoblast invasion and inadequate spiral artery remodeling, which are widely believed to lead to placental hypoxia, the putative culprit initiating the cascade of events that ultimately results in the maternal manifestations of the disease. Despite extensive research, however, the pathophysiology of this disease remains poorly understood, no effective prevention exists, and treatment is limited to symptomatic therapy. Recent research has introduced exciting new theories regarding the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Clinical and experimental evidence implicating the circulating antiangiogenic molecules soluble Fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1) and soluble endoglin (sENG), as well as endothelin-1 and the angiotensin II receptor type I autoimmune antibody (AT-1AA), have been especially promising. This review collates evidence for a role of hypoxia and hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF1A; referred to as HIF-1α throughout) in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia and discusses possible molecular links between hypoxia and the newly reported potential mediators of the disease's manifestations.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
