| The role of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)/Angiotensin (Ang)-(1-7) pathway in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia | Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-specific disorder characterize by maternal hypertension, proteinuria, and generalized edema that is the leading cause of maternal mortality and contributes significantly to neonatal morbidity and mortality. Thus, the prevention of preeclampsia could have a significant impact on maternal and neonatal outcome. Nevertheless, the pathophysiology of preeclampsia remains poorly understood. Although preeclampsia is often considered a multisystem disorder, one of the known causes of this disease is impaired placentation and impaired maternal uterine spiral artery remodelling. An imbalance in the circulating and intrauterine renin-angiotensin systems (RAS) has also been demonstrated. This project aims to specifically focus on the ACE2/Ang-(1-7) pathway, which counteracts the vasoconstrictive and hypertensive effects of Ang II/AT1R to determine how it is regulated, and whether it contributes to the normal pregnancy. |
