A Lipidomic Analysis of Placenta in Preeclampsia: Evidence for Lipid Storage
نویسندگان
چکیده
In preeclampsia, maternal insulin resistance leads to defective expansion of adipocytes, enhanced adipocyte lipolysis, up-regulation of very low density lipoprotein synthesis, maternal hypertriglyceridaemia and the potential for ectopic fat storage. Our aim was to quantitate and compare the total amount and type of lipid in placenta from pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia and healthy pregnancies. Quantitative lipid analysis of lipid extracts from full thickness placental biopsies was carried out by shotgun lipidomics. Placental lipid profiles from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia (n = 23) were compared to healthy pregnancies (n = 68), and placenta from intrauterine growth restriction pregnancies (n = 10) were used to control for gross differences in placental pathology. Placentae from pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia had higher neutral lipid content than healthy placentae (40% higher triacyglycerol (P = 0.001) and 33% higher cholesteryl ester (P = 0.004)) that was specific to preeclampsia and independent of maternal gestation.

Lipidomic Assessment of Plasma and Placenta of Women with Early-Onset Preeclampsia
INTRODUCTION Adipose tissue is responsible for triggering chronic systemic inflammatory response and these changes may be involved in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia. OBJECTIVE To characterize the lipid profile in the placenta and plasma of patients with preeclampsia. METHODOLOGY Samples were collected from placenta and plasma of 10 pregnant women with preeclampsia and 10 controls. Lipi...
متن کاملDetection and confirmation of serum lipid biomarkers for preeclampsia using direct infusion mass spectrometry.
Despite substantial research, the early diagnosis of preeclampsia remains elusive. Lipids are now recognized to be involved in regulation and pathophysiology of some disease. Shotgun lipidomic studies were undertaken to determine whether serum lipid biomarkers exist that predict preeclampsia later in the same in pregnancy. A discovery study was performed using sera collected at 12-14 weeks preg...
متن کاملThe role of placental oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation in preeclampsia.
UNLABELLED Preeclampsia is a complex multisystem disorder exclusively seen in human species that is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. This disorder has the highest maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality of all pregnancy-related complications. Growing evidence suggests that placental oxidative stress is involved in the etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia. Reduced perfusion as a res...
متن کاملRole of oxidative stress and antioxidant supplementation in pregnancy disorders.
Oxidative stress is widely implicated in failed reproductive performance, including infertility, miscarriage, diabetes-related congenital malformations, and preeclampsia. Maternal obesity is a strong risk factor for preeclampsia, and in a recent study we observed oxidative stress in the oocytes of obese animals before pregnancy as well as in early-stage embryos. This adds to the growing evidenc...

Introduction: Preeclampsia is described as a systemic disorder and leads to a potentially life threatening disease. The evidences show that stress oxidative of lipid profile is effective in the pathogenesis of Preeclampsia. In this study, specificity and sensitivity of lipid profile as a predictive factor in the incidence of preeclampsia was studied. Methods: This study was a cohort study that...
