Disrupted Balance of Angiogenic and Antiangiogenic Signalings in Preeclampsia by Mitsuko Furuya, Kentaro Kurasawa, Kiyotaka Nagahama, Kae Kawachi, Akinori Nozawa, Tsuneo Takahashi, Ichiro Aoki

“…VEGFR1 and VEGFR2 are functional receptors for placental growth factor (PlGF) and VEGF, respectively, and PlGF-VEGFR1 and VEGF-VEGFR2 interactions are disturbed in many preeclamptic patients by excess amount of soluble form of VEGFR1 (also named sFlt1), a natural PlGF/VEGF antagonist. Recent studies have disclosed that excessive sFlt1 production in the placenta and aberrant AT1 signaling in the mother are closely associated with the pathology of preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). …”
