Abstract

Preeclampsia (PE), is a pregnancy-specific complication with the placental origin which associated with altered expression of angiogenic factors. Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), is a growth and hypoxia-induced factor which contributes to the regulation of various processes. The present study has investigated the association of the placental VEGF -634G/C (rs2010963), -1154G/A (rs1570360), and -2549 I/D (18bpindel) polymorphisms in the promoter region with VEGF mRNA expression in PE women and control group. This case-control study was performed on the placenta of 84 PE women and 103 controls after delivery. Genotyping of the VEGF polymorphisms was done by PCR or PCR, PCR-RFLP or sequencing methods. The mRNA expression levels were measured by Quantitative Real-Time PCR. The relative mRNA expression of VEGF gene was significantly higher in PE women compared to controls. The relative mRNA expression of VEGF gene was significantly higher in women with -634CC genotype compared to CG + GG genotypes in PE women and total studied women but not in control women. However, there was no association between the placental VEGF -1154G/A and -2549 I/D polymorphisms and VEGF mRNA expression neither in PE nor in control groups. The curr...Continue Reading
