We studied the effects of soluble products of the placental tissue from women with normal pregnancy and gestosis on the cytokine secretion by endothelial EA.Hy926 cells. The secretory products of the placental tissue induced the production of angiogenin, bFGF, IL-8, MCP-1, and RANTES by endothelial cells. The secretion of bFGF by EA.Hy926 cells increased, while IL-8 secretion decreased under the effects of factors produced by the placental tissue in gestosis but not in normal pregnancy. This could be aimed at reduction of inflammation intensity in the placental tissue and maintenance of endothelial and trophoblast cells viability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
