摘要
目的:探讨胎盘组织中血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)和缺氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)表达水平与妊娠高血压综合征(PIH综合征)患者严重程度的相关性。方法:采用免疫组织化学EliVision法对35例PIH综合征患者和40例正常产妇(对照组)胎盘组织中VEGF和HIF-1α的表达水平进行检测分析。结果:VEGF和HIF-1α在胎盘滋养细胞和血管内皮细胞中均有的表达,VEGF在轻度PIH综合征患者胎盘中的表达水平与对照组相比无显著差异,VEGF在中度和重度PIH综合征患者胎盘中的表达水平则较对照组显著下降(P<0.05),HIF-1α在PIH综合征组患者胎盘中的表达水平显著高于对照组(P<0.05),且重度高于中度、中度高于轻度。结论:PIH综合征患者胎盘中VEGF的表达水平降低,而HIF-1α的表达水平升高,并均与病情的严重程度相关,提示其可能参与调控PIH综合征的发生和发展过程。
Objective: To explore the correlation between the expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and pathogenesis of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods: The semi-quantitative immunohistochemical EliVision analysis was used to detect the expression of VEGF and HIF-1 a in placental tissues of 35 PIH patients and 40 normal pregnant women. Results: The expression of VEGF and HIF-1α was observed in trophoblast cells and vascular endothelial cells. The VEGF expression level of mild PIH group showed no significant difference; whereas its expression levels of moderate and severe PIH groups were significantly decreased compared with that of control group (P〈0.05). The HIF-1α expression levels of mild, moderate and severe PIH groups were significantly increased compared with control group (P〈0.05); futhermore, the HIF-1α expression level of moderate group was remarkably higher than that of mild group (P〈0.05), but obviously lower than that of severe group (P〈0.05). Conclusion: The VEGF expression level in placentas of PIH patients was decreased, while the expression level of HIF-1α was increased, indicating that VEGF and HIF-1α might be involved in the pathogenesis of PIH.
