Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in trophoblasts and abnormal activation in preeclampsia
1 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Preeclampsia (PE) is one of the most common types of hypertensive disease and occurs in 3‑4% of pregnancies. There are a number of theories on the pathogenesis of PE. Abnormal differentiation of the placenta may lead to failure of trophoblast migration, shallow placenta implantation and placental ischemia/hypoxia, followed by the subsequent occurrence of PE. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a canonical Wnt‑signaling...
