چکیده
OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression of 52-kDa FK506-binding protein (FKBP52) in human placentas complicated by preeclampsia (PE) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). STUDY DESIGN Case-control study including placentas from 6 PE pregnancies, 6 IUGR pregnancies, and 6 controls. FKBP52 expression was determined by immunohistochemistry and Western blot techniques. RESULTS FKBP52 expression was downregulated in PE group placentas compared to control and IUGR group placentas. In IUGR group placentas FKBP52 expression was upregulated compared to control and PE group placentas. FKBP52 expression differences between PE and IUGR group placentas (p = 0.008) and control and IUGR group placentas (p = 0.042) were statistically significant. There was FKBP52 immunoreactivity in decidua, syncytiotrophoblast, villous stromal cells, and vascular endothelium in all groups. Unlike control and PE group placentas, FKBP52 expression was continuous in syncytiotrophoblast of IUGR group placentas. CONCLUSION FKBP52 seems to be disrupted in PE and IUGR pregnancies. Decrease of FKBP52 protein levels in PE and increase in IUGR group placentas might have an importance and be involved in the pathogenesis of PE and IUGR.

Elevated maternal levels of the long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction.
OBJECTIVE The prototypic long pentraxin pentraxin 3 is a new candidate marker for inflammatory conditions reflecting the involvement of the vascular bed. Endothelial dysfunction is a prominent feature of preeclampsia as a result of excessive maternal systemic inflammation. We investigated pentraxin 3 levels in preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction, pregnancy conditions related to alt...
متن کاملDifferential conformational dynamics in the closely homologous FK506-binding domains of FKBP51 and FKBP52
As co-chaperones of Hsp90 (heat-shock protein 90), FKBP51 (FK506-binding protein of 51 kDa) and FKBP52 (FK506-binding protein of 52 kDa) act as antagonists in regulating the hormone affinity and nuclear transport of steroid receptor complexes. Exchange of Leu119 in FKBP51 for Pro119 in FKBP52 has been shown to largely reverse the steroid receptor activities of FKBP51 and FKBP52. To examine whet...

متن کاملExpressional and epigenetic alterations of placental serine protease inhibitors: SERPINA3 is a potential marker of preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia is the major pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorder. It modifies the expression profile of placental genes, including several serine protease inhibitors (SERPINs). The objective of this study was to perform a systematic expression analysis of these genes in normal and pathological placentas and to pinpoint epigenetic alterations inside their promoter regions. Expression of 18 plac...
