Preeclampsia (PE), a serious hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, remains a leading cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. Perturbed trophoblast function and impaired placental development early in pregnancy are key features. Low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (LDA) administered before 16 weeks' gestation significantly reduces the risk for PE. However, the exact mechanisms of action of LDA, particularly on trophoblast function, are unclear. We hypothesized that LDA influences placental trophoblast function and reverses PE-associated abnormalities. This study aimed to determine the effects of serum from normotensive women and from those with PE with or without LDA treatment on a model of placental syncytium. On cytokine profiling, LDA increased placental growth factor production and selectively restored PE serum-induced alterations in levels of cytokines [activated leukocyte cell adhesion molecule, CXCL-16, and ErbB3] to those in normotensive serum-treated cells. PE serum-induced increases in the apoptotic markers P53 mRNA expression, IKBKE mRNA expression, caspase 3 activity, and decreased BIRC8 mRNA expression, were attenuated by LDA treatment. LDA treatment also reduced abnormal differentiation caused by PE serum administration. Possible mechanisms by which LDA influences PE-affected trophoblast cells invitro are by modulating cytokine secretion, reducing apoptosis to levels seen in normotensive serum-treated cells, and preventing the premature trophoblast differentiation commonly observed in PE.
