Background: Preeclampsia is a complex pregnancy disorder characterized by the new onset of hypertension and organ dysfunction, often leading to significant maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Placental dysfunction is a hallmark feature of preeclampsia, which is often caused by inappropriate trophoblast cell function in association with oxidative stress, inflammation and/or pathological hypoxia.
