MicroRNA-155 inhibits migration of trophoblast cells and contributes to the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia by regulating endothelial nitric oxide synthase
6 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
The aim of the present study was to characterize the role of microRNA (miR)-155 in the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia (PE). A total of 19 severe preeclampsic and 22 normal placentas were collected to measure miR-155 and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression using quantitative (q)PCR and western blot analysis. The results demonstrated a significant increase in the levels of miR-155 and decreased...
