Abstract
Angiogenesis is one of the most important steps during pregnancy for placental and fetal development. Based on the hypothesis that vascular insufficiency and altered angiogenesis may lead to early pregnancy loss, the present study was aimed to understand the role of Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGFA) and Placental growth factor (PLGF) gene expression in placental angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). Gene expression analysis of VEGFA and PLGF was carried out in the placental tissue collected from 30 women with recurrent pregnancy loss and compared with the placenta obtained from 16 women with medically terminated pregnancy. The mRNA expression of both VEGFA and PLGF genes were significantly downregulated in the placenta of recurrent pregnancy loss in comparison to the placenta of medically terminated pregnancies. In conclusion the results of the present study suggest that altered expression of VEGFA and PLGF genes in placenta disturb the angiogenesis and contribute to the pathogenesis of recurrent pregnancy loss.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Roman Studies (JRS) has appeared annually for a century, and is widely recognised as the premier UK journal in its field. Peer-reviewed papers on Roman history and Latin literature form the larger part of each issue. Papers on art history and archaeology are also published. The Journal regularly includes major review articles and archaeological surveys, along with one of the widest selections of reviews of recent publications in all scholarly languages. The journal seeks to publish articles with wide implications for our understanding of the Roman world. JRS papers have stimulated debates in fields as diverse as Roman democracy, the scale of the Roman economy, the demographic implications of slavery, and the materiality of the book.
