- W2995116257 abstract "Normal pregnancy involves extensive remodeling of uterine and spiral arteries and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)-mediated proteolysis of extracellular matrix (ECM). Preeclampsia is characterized by hypertension in pregnancy (HTN-Preg) and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) with unclear mechanisms. Initial faulty placentation and reduced uterine perfusion pressure (RUPP) could release cytoactive factors and trigger an incessant cycle of suppressed trophoblast invasion of spiral arteries, further RUPP, and progressive placental ischemia leading to HTN-Preg and IUGR; however, the extent and depth of uterine vascularization and the proteolytic enzymes and ECM proteins involved are unclear. We hypothesized that HTN-Preg involves decreased uterine vascularization and arterial remodeling by MMPs and accumulation of ECM collagen. Blood pressure (BP) and fetal parameters were measured in normal Preg rats and RUPP rat model, and the uteri were assessed for vascularity, MMP levels, and collagen deposition. On gestational day 19, BP was higher, and the uterus weight, litter size, and pup weight were reduced in RUPP vs. Preg rats. Histology of uterine tissue sections showed reduced number (5.75 ± 0.95 vs. 11.50 ± 0.87) and size (0.05 ± 0.01 vs. 0.12 ± 0.02 mm 2 ) of uterine spiral arterioles in RUPP vs. Preg rats. Immunohistochemistry showed localization of endothelial cell marker cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) and smooth muscle marker α-actin in uterine arteriolar wall and confirmed decreased number/size of uterine arterioles in RUPP rats. The cytotrophoblast marker cytokeratin-7 showed less staining and invasion of spiral arteries in the deep decidua of RUPP vs. Preg rats. Uterine arteries showed less expansion in response to increases in intraluminal pressure in RUPP vs. Preg rats. Western blot analysis, gelatin zymography, and immunohistochemistry showed decreases in MMP-2 and MMP-9 and increases in the MMP substrate collagen-IV in uterus and uterine arteries of RUPP vs. those in Preg rats. The results suggest decreased number, size and expansiveness of spiral and uterine arteries with decreased MMP-2 and MMP-9 and increased collagen-IV in HTN-Preg. Decreased uterine vascularization and uterine arterial expansive remodeling by MMPs could be contributing mechanisms to uteroplacental ischemia in HTN-Preg and preeclampsia. NEW & NOTEWORTHY Preeclampsia is a pregnancy-related disorder in which initial inadequate placentation and RUPP cause the release of cytoactive factors and trigger a ceaseless cycle of suppressed trophoblast invasion of spiral arteries, further RUPP, and progressive placental ischemia leading to HTN-Preg and IUGR; however, the extent/depth of uterine vascularization and the driving proteolytic enzymes and ECM proteins are unclear. This study shows decreased number, size, and expansiveness of uterine spiral arteries, with decreased MMP-2 and MMP-9 and increased collagen-IV in HTN-Preg rats. The decreased uterine vascularization and uterine arterial expansive remodeling by MMPs could contribute to progressive uteroplacental ischemia in HTN-Preg and preeclampsia." @default.
