Overexpression of Human sFLT1 in the Spongiotrophoblast Is Sufficient to Induce Placental Dysfunction and Fetal Growth Restriction in Transgenic Mice
7 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Preeclampsia (PE) is characterized by maternal hypertension and placental dysfunction, often leading to fetal growth restriction (FGR). It is associated with an overexpression of the anti-angiogenic sFLT1 protein, which originates from the placenta and serves as a clinical biomarker to predict PE. To analyze the impact of sFLT1 on placental function and fetal growth, we generated transgenic mice with...
