Abstract
Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal and fetal mortality, and its pathogenesis is not fully understood. Endogenous digitalis-like cardiotonic steroids (CTS) have been implicated in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia; this is illustrated by clinical observations that Digibind, a therapeutic digoxin antibody fragment which binds CTS, lowers blood pressure and reverses Na/K-ATPase inhibition in patients with preeclampsia. Recently we reported that plasma levels of marinobufagenin (MBG), a bufadienolide vasoconstrictor CTS, are increased four-fold in patients with severe preeclampsia. In the present study, we compared levels of MBG in normal and preeclamptic placentae, as well as the interactions of Digibind and antibodies against MBG and ouabain with material purified from preeclamptic placentae using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Levels of endogenous MBG, but not that of endogenous ouabain, exhibited a four-fold elevation in preeclamptic placentae vs. normal placentae (13.6 +/- 2.5 and 48.6 +/- 7.0 nmoles/g tissue; P < 0.01). The elution time of endogenous placental MBG-like immunoreactive material from reverse-phase HPLC column was identical to that of authentic MBG. A competitive immunoassay based on Digi...Continue Reading
