Abstract excerpt
Preeclampsia (PE) is a common obstetrical disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria. The aberrant expression of miR-221-3p in placental tissues has been implicated in the pathogenesis of PE. This study examined the role of miR-221-3p in trophoblast growth, invasion and migration, and explored the underlying mechanisms. Our results showed that miR-221-3p was down-regulated in placental tissues from PE...
