Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) occurs in 5% to 7% of all pregnancies, and the PE that results from abnormal placentation acts as a primary cause of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. The objective of this secondary analysis was to elucidate the pathogenesis of PE by probing protein-protein interactions from in silico analysis of transcriptomes between PE and normal placenta from Gene Expression Omnibus (GSE149812). The pathogenesis of PE is apparently determined by associations of miRNA molecules and their target genes and the degree of changes in their expressions with irregularities in the functions of hemostasis, vascular systems, and inflammatory processes at the fetal-maternal interface. These irregularities ultimately lead to impaired placental growth and hypoxic injuries, generally manifesting as placental insufficiency. These differentially expressed miRNAs or genes in placental tissue and/or in blood can serve as novel diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers.
