Dysregulation of complement system during pregnancy in patients with preeclampsia: A prospective study.

Abstract:

:Recent studies have shown that aberrant activation of the complement system plays an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. There is evidence to suggest that aberrant activation of the complement system may already be present during the first trimester. Here, we performed a prospective study in which peripheral blood samples were collected from 500 women during pregnancy. Twenty-one patients (41 specimens) suffering from preeclampsia later in pregnancy were classified into the study group, and sixty-three gravidas with normal pregnancies (136 specimens) were selected as the control group. The plasma concentrations of complement factor B (CFB), C1q, complement factor H (CFH), C3c, C4, C3a, C5a and soluble C5b-9 (sC5b-9) were measured. The levels of CFB (P = 0.004), CFH (P = 0.002), C1q (P = 0.044), C3c (P = 0.032) and C4 (P = 0.015) were significantly higher in preeclampsia than in normal pregnancy during the first trimester, and these levels became similar to those in normal pregnancy thereafter. Before the onset of preeclampsia, the levels of C3a, C5a and sC5b-9 in the preeclampsia group were similar to those in control group even in late pregnancy. C3a levels showed a significant positive correlation with C5a in normal pregnancy (r=0.658, P<0.01) but not in preeclampsia (r = 0.001, P = 1).Thus, we found that aberrant activation of the complement system in patients with preeclampsia was initiated during the first trimester but returned to normal pregnancy levels in the second trimester. At the same time, there is aberrant regulation of complement activation at the C3a-C5a level in preeclampsia during pregnancy.
