Microarray expression results of VEGF, YAP1 and PTEN immunostains in preeclampsia cases
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2023) Atigan, A.; Karakaya, Y.A.; Kiliç, D.; Guler, O.T.
We aimed to evaluate the expression of YAP1, PTEN, VEGF in the placentas of patients with preeclampsia and placentas of healthy pregnant women for trophoblast invasion, which is similar to cancer etiopathogenesis. The placentas of 70 women who gave birth, including 30 preeclampsia and 40 healthy controls, were evaluated. YAP1, PTEN and VEGF immunohistochemical staining were performed using the microarray method on placental tissue. The mean ± standard deviation for YAP1, PTEN and VEGF intensity were; 1.57 ± 0.71,2.59 ± 0.80, 1.61 ± 0.59, respectively. PTEN intensity was statistically significantly lower in the preeclampsia group than in the control group (2.37 ± 0.99 vs 2.75 ± 0.58, p = .049). There was no difference between the groups in terms of YAP1 and VEGF staining (p > .05). The etiopathogenesis of preeclampsia is still unclear. However, since trophoblast invasion and endothelial repair have similar aspects with cancer mechanisms, both preeclampsia and cancer studies are progressing by supporting each other. Our study is a prototype study showing that large-participation studies can be carried out easily by using the microarray method as an economic model. © 2023 Taylor & Francis.
