Abstract

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a gynecological disorder of varying etiology. In the present study, an expression analysis of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA), pregnancy-associated plasma protein A2 (PAPPA2) and placenta-specific-1 (PLAC-1) was conducted in pregnancies with FGR and control pregnancies. Placental tissues were collected from pregnancies with FGR (n=16) and control pregnancies (n=16) and the expression of the genes of interest was examined by qPCR. The mean expression levels of PAPPA and PAPPA2 were significantly lower (P<0.001) in placental tissues from FGR pregnancies compared with tissues from healthy subjects, whereas the opposite pattern was observed for PLAC-1 (P<0.001). PAPPA and PLAC-1 expression in FGR and control subjects correlated with birth weight (P<0.001). The findings suggest a possible pathophysiological link between the development of FGR and the expression of PAPPA, PAPPA2 and PLAC-1.
