Here, we demonstrated that sFlt-1 production was upregulated under hypoxia in two trophoblastic cells (HTR-8/SVneo and JAR).

In the present study, sFlt-1 was shown to inhibit trophoblast invasion and migration under hypoxia, and this inhibitory effect occurred through downregulating ZEB1/2, MMP 2/9, and the Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway. Ciliary number and length of trophoblasts were inhibited by sFlt-1 treatment and were enhanced after FLT-1 knockdown.

Moreover, plasma and placental sFlt-1 protein levels were upregulated in the preeclampsia mouse model, whereas primary cilia formation and SHH-related expression were impaired in the mouse placenta.
