Methods: Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was carried out to detect the level of sFlt-1 mRNA in placental tissue of 10 preeclampsia (study group) and 10 normotensive pregnancies (control group); ELISA was used to detect the serum level of sFlt-1 in peripheral venous blood and uterine venous blood in control group (n=35) and study group (n=35), and furthermore to detect the volume of peripheral venous blood sFlt-1 in early, middle and later pregnancies. Results: sFlt-1 mRNA of placental tissue was significantly higher in preeclampsia than that in normal pregnancy. The serum level of sFlt-1 of peripheral vein in preeclampsia was higher than that in normal pregnancy ([ 5639.6±3190.5] pg/ml vs[ 2194.4±635.8 ] pg/ml, P<0.01) , so did the serum sFlt-1 of uterine vein in preeclampsia and control group ([7673.3±2295.8] pg/ml vs[ 3056.6±784.6] pg/ml, P<0.01), indicating that the volume of sFlt-1 of uterine vein blood was significantly higher than that of peripheral venous blood (P<0.01). The serum level of sFlt-1 in early, middle and later pregnancy were (31.7±19.6) pg/ml (n=10), (994.0±302.1) pg/ml (n=10), (2194.4±635.8) pg/ml (n=35), respectively, showing that the level of sFlt-1 in peripheral venous blood increasingly elevated with the development of pregnancy (P<0.01). Conclusion: Preeclampsia is associated with increased level of sFlt-1 which might be largely from placenta during pregnancy.展开更多
