Abstract

During pregnancy, the placenta produces a variety of proteins that are responsible for the establishment of the foeto–maternal tolerance and circulation. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression of glycodelin A (formerly named PP14) in decidual tissue of placentas with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), preeclamptic patients, hemolysis, elevated liver, low-platelet (HELLP) patients and normal decidual tissue. Slides of paraffin-embedded decidual tissue of patients with IUGR, preeclamptic patients, HELLP patients and normal-term placentas were incubated with either polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies against glycodelin A. Staining reaction was performed with the ABC reagent. Intensity of immunohistochemical reaction on the slides was analysed using a semi-quantitative score. In addition, expression of glycodelin mRNA was analysed by in situ hybridisation. Expression of glycodelin A was significantly reduced in decidual cells of placentas with IUGR and HELLP, as investigated with both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies and in situ hybridisation. However, preeclamptic decidual tissue showed no significantly different expression of intensity of glycodelin mRNA compared with normal placental tissue controls. A reduced expression of glycodelin A by decidual cells seems to be related to IUGR and HELLP. Therefore, glycodelin A might play an important role in the pathogeneses of these diseases.
