Background

Pre-eclampsia is a leading cause of maternal mortality and morbidity. Although the exact mechanisms that cause pre-eclampsia remain unclear, it is undeniable that abnormal placental function and circulation are a center for initiation pre-eclampsia. As a potent vasoconstrictor, arginine vasopressin (AVP) has long been implicated in controlling placental vascular tone and circulation; its secretion is grossly elevated in pre-eclamptic circulation. However, little is known about the reactivity of AVP in pre-eclamptic placental vasculature.

Methods

To reveal the special features of placental vascular regulations with placental pathophysiological changes, as well as the corresponding molecular mechanisms under pre-eclamptic conditions, vascular function and molecular assays were conducted with placental vessel samples from normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancies.

Findings

The present study found that vasoconstriction responses of placental vessels to AVP were attenuated in pre-eclampsia as compared to in normal pregnancy. The insensitivity of AVP was correlated with the down-regulated AVP receptor 1a (AVPR1A, AVPR1A gene) and protein kinase C isoform β (PKCβ, PKCΒ gene), particularly the hyper-methylation-mediated AVPR1A and PKCΒ gene down-regulation, respectively.

Interpretation

The findings collectively revealed that aberrant DNA methylation-mediated gene expressions are correlated with vascular dysfunction in pre-eclamptic placental circulation.
