Expressional and Epigenetic Alterations of Placental Serine Protease Inhibitors
7 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Preeclampsia is the major pregnancy-induced hypertensive disorder. It modifies the expression profile of placental genes, including several serine protease inhibitors (SERPINs). The objective of this study was to perform a systematic expression analysis of these genes in normal and pathological placentas and to pinpoint epigenetic alterations inside their promoter regions. Expression of 18 placental SERPINs was...
