Role of cytokines in altitude-associated preeclampsia

Abstract: BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is more common at high than low altitude and contributes to the altitude-related decline in birth weight. Since inflammatory markers are implicated in PE, we asked if such markers differed in PE vs. normotensive pregnant (NORM) women residing at high altitude (3600-4100 m), and were related to uterine artery blood flow (UA BF) or fetal growth. METHODS Subjects were 33 Andean pregnant residents of Bolivia, comprising six with early-onset PE (≤ 34 wk), 12 with late-onset PE (> 34 w… Show more

“…In contrast, both TNF-␣ and IL-6 were lower in Andeans and Europeans at high altitude than at low altitude (207). At high altitude, preeclamptic Andeans had elevated proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8 compared with normotensive counterparts, whereas proinflammatory TNF-␣ and anti-inflammatory IL-10 were similar in both normotensive and preeclamptic women (205). Birth weight was negatively associated with IL-6 levels.…”

“…Sitokin inflamasi merupakan activator pada vaskular endhothelium dan merupakan mediator penting pada proses disfungsi endotelelial yang menyebabkan preeklampsia. 4 Disfungsi sel endothelial terjadi melalui aktivasi dari produksi protein sel permukaan yang memediasi keikutsertaan sel-sel inflamasi. Proses ini dimediasi oleh sitokin yang diproduksi oleh sel inflamasi dan mengaktivasi sel-sel endothelial.…”

“…Based on epidemiologic research, high maternal body mass index (BMI) ( Thadhani et al 1999 ), polycystic ovary syndrome ( Palomba et al 2015 ), preexisting hypertension, primiparity ( Hernández-Díaz et al 2009 ), family history ( Boyd et al 2013 ; Esplin et al 2001 ; Skjærven et al 2005 ), and a history of PE ( Boyd et al 2013 ) are recognized risk factors. There is also evidence that risk is associated with short stature ( Basso et al 2004 ), high altitude ( Dávila et al 2012 ), subfecundity ( Basso et al 2003 ), and long inter-pregnancy interval ( Basso et al 2001 ; Skjærven et al 2002 ). Maternal cigarette smoking, a risk factor for many adverse reproductive outcomes, is well known to be associated with lower risk of PE ( Conde-Agudelo et al 1999 ; Engel et al 2013 ).…”
