Serum Soluble Endoglin and Matrix Metalloproteinase 14 With Elisa Method in Early/Late-onset Preeclampsia

Completed
Conditions
Preeclampsia
Registration Number
NCT03932877
Lead Sponsor
Cengiz Gokcek Women's and Children's Hospital
Brief Summary

Objective: Defective placentation and inadequate trophoblastic invasion have an important place in the aetiology of preeclampsia (PrE). Trophoblasts invade the maternal decidua and remodel spiral arteries with matrix metalloproteinase-14 (MMP-14). To the best of our knowledge, studies of MMP-14 protein levels of PrE patients' sera remain unpublished. This study aims to investigate the value of serum MMP-14 and soluble endoglin (s-ENG) in PrE patients and healthy controls.

Methods: The study was conducted with 30 late-onset preeclampsia patients (L-PrE) as group1 (gestational age≥34 weeks), 33 patients with normal pregnancies as group2 (gestational age≥34 weeks), 31 early-onset preeclampsia patients (E-PrE) as group3 (gestational age\<34 weeks), and 31 patients with normal pregnancies as group 4 (gestational age\<34 weeks). Serum MMP-14 and s-ENG levels measured by ELISA were compared.

Detailed Description

The study was conducted at Cengiz Gokcek Women's and Children's Hospital, Gaziantep, Turkey at department of obstetrics and gynecology between date of January 2018 and December 2018. The study protocol was designed according to the Declaration of Helsinki, and the institutional ethical review board of Gaziantep University approved the study (Reference number: 2018/91). One hundred twenty-five women enrolled in the study in four groups. The investigators consecutively recruited 61 pregnancies complicated with preeclampsia, and 64 healthy pregnancies will select for the control group. All participiants gave their oral and written informed consent before their inclusion in the study.
