Evidence for lysosomal biogenesis proteome defect and impaired autophagy in preeclampsia

Abstract excerpt

The etiology of preeclampsia (PE), a serious pregnancy complication, remains an enigma. We have demonstrated that proteinopathy, a pathologic feature of neurodegenerative diseases, is a key observation in the placenta and serum from PE patients. We hypothesize that the macroautophagy/autophagy machinery that mediates degradation of aggregated proteins and damaged organelles is impaired in PE. Here, we show that...
