Features of the histological structure of the placenta in women with recurrent miscarriage depending on polymorphic variants of the metalloproteinase and hemostasis systems

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the morphological characteristics of placental tissue in women with early reproductive losses with recurrent miscarriage, depending on the presence of polymorphic variants of metalloproteinases and hemostasis. It was established that in women with recurrent miscarriage, the area of the trophoblast of the placenta is significantly larger (р < 0.003), the area of the chorionic villi is smaller (р < 0.04) than in the group of women with implemented reproductive function. Thrombosis of the chorionic vessels, necrosis and calcinates in the placenta with PNF were detected in 80.0 % (р = 0.001), 93.3 % (р = 0.001), and 30.0 % (р = 0.049) of cases, respectively, which is significantly higher than in the comparison group. In patients with PNP with the T/T genotype of the 735 C/T polymorphism of the MMP-2 gene, the trophoblast area is significant (р < 0.05) more than with the C/C genotype, acute full-back (р = 0.02) and intervillous hemorrhage (р = 0.02). In women with the C/T genotype of the polymorphism 735 C/T of the MMP-2 gene, edema and dystrophic changes in the chorionic villi, placental necrosis are determined more often (р = 0.02) than with the C/C genotype. In carriers of the T allele of the polymorphism 735 C/T of the MMP-2 gene in the placenta, necrosis is significantly more common than in the CC genotype; the carriage of the T allele is also associated with large values of the relative area of the trophoblast and the stromal-intervillous relation, as well as with a smaller value of the ratio of the intervillous space area to the total area of the photograph.
