Introduction

Mortality from preeclampsia (PE) and PE-associated morbidities are 3-to 5-fold higher in persons of African ancestry than in those of Asian and European ancestries.

Methods

To elucidate placental contribution to worse PE outcomes in African ancestry pregnancies, we performed bulk RNA sequencing on 50 placentas from persons with severe PE (sPE) of African (n = 9), Asian (n = 18) and European (n = 23) ancestries and 73 normotensive controls of African (n = 10), Asian (n = 15) and European (n = 48) ancestries.

Results

Previously described canonical preeclampsia genes, involved in metabolism and hypoxia/angiogenesis including: LEP, HK2, FSTL3, FLT1, ENG, TMEM45A, ARHGEF4 and HTRA1 were upregulated sPE versus normotensive placentas across ancestries. LTF, NPR3 and PHYHIP were higher in African vs. Asian ancestry sPE placentas. Allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes were upregulated in placentas from African but not in Asian or European ancestry sPE patients; IL3RA was of particular interest because the patient with the highest placental IL3RA expression, a person of African ancestry with sPE, developed postpartum cardiomyopathy, and was the only patient out of 123, that developed this condition. Interestingly, the sPE patients with the highest IL3RA expression among persons of Asian and European ancestries developed unexplained tachycardia peripartum, necessitating echocardiography in the European ancestry patient. The association between elevated placental IL3RA levels and unexplained tachycardia or peripartum cardiomyopathy was found to be significant in the 50 sPE patients (p = .0005).

Discussion

High placental upregulation of both canonical preeclampsia and allograft rejection/adaptive immune response genes may contribute to worse PE outcomes in African ancestry sPE patients."xsd:string
