Does transthyretin function as one of contributors for preeclampsia?
Preeclampsia (PE) is a multi-system disorder of pregnancy, which is characterized by new onset hypertension and proteinuria, resulting in multi-organ damages within a potential procedure. However as a worldwide leading cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity, the precise origin of PE has not been clarified yet, which also makes obstacles to the management of the disease. Transthyretin (TTR) is a special protein involved in amyloid diseases, has important effects on amyloid fibrils formation. We assumed that TTR might cause a disorder of maternal vascular function and contributed to the pathology of the disease by deposition of TTR amyloid fibrils in the vascular system, which are produced by variant TTR proteins, resulting in organ ischemia. If this hypothesis proves to be correct, this variant may be of diagnostic importance as novel biomarkers for the disease, in addition, it might also benefit to the management of PE.
