PG - e15080 LID - 10.1097/MD.0000000000015080 [doi] LID - e15080 AB - Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. It affects about 5% to 8% of pregnancies and causes maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. The immune imbalance and excessive inflammatory response play vital roles in the pathogenesis of PE.In this study, we performed a case-control study to investigate the levels of cytokines, chemokines and adhesion molecules in serum and placenta of normal pregnant and PE women by Bio-Plex multiplex immunoassay and immunohistochemistry. In addition, we explored the phenotypes of monocyte and macrophage in peripheral blood and placentas in 2 groups by using flow cytometry analysis and immunohistochemistry.Our results show that pro-inflammatory factors, including interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-17a, monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP -1), and macrophage inflammatory protein 1beta (MIP-1beta) were significantly increased in serum of women with PE compared with controls. In addition, we detected that IL-1beta, IL-6, and MCP-1 were also increased in placentas of women with PE. We further revealed that peripheral blood monocytes showed a pro-inflammatory M1-like phenotype in women with PE. Consistently, M1 macrophage infiltration was increased in placenta of women with PE compared to that of normal pregnant women.Our results demonstrated that immune imbalance promotes an inflammatory state during PE and it may be a potential therapeutic possibility for the management of PE.
