Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To test the hypothesis that the risk of preeclampsia in nulliparous women may be due to an anti-angiogenic state. METHODS:Maternal serum samples obtained in the third trimester from nulliparous (n = 86) and multiparous (n = 165) singleton uncomplicated pregnancies were analyzed for levels of angiogenic factors - soluble fms like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt1) and placental growth factor (PlGF) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS:For nulliparous and multiparous pregnancies, serum sFlt1 levels were 12 732 ± 832 and 10 162 ± 666 (p = 0.020), serum PlGF levels were 215 ± 15 and 249 ± 14 (p = 0.093) (all reported as mean SD in pg/ml) and mean ratios of sFlt1/PlGF were 93 ± 12 and 62 ± 5 (p = 0.023), respectively. Adjustment for maternal age and fetal birth weight did not alter the results. CONCLUSIONS:Nulliparous pregnancies had higher circulating sFlt1 levels and sFlt1/PlGF ratios than multiparous pregnancies, suggesting an association with an angiogenic imbalance. Taken together with the pathogenic role of anti-angiogenic factors in preeclampsia, our data may be one explanation for the epidemiological observation that nulliparity is a risk factor for the development of preeclampsia.
