Increased circulating miR-155 identifies a subtype of preeclamptic patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Preeclampsia is a common and severe pregnancy complication. The syndrome is highly heterogeneous, making accurate classification difficult, which is not conductive to find ways to predict and prevent this syndrome. Recently, we reported that high placental miR-155 defined a new subtype of preeclampsia. Here, we aimed to examine whether high maternal sero-miR-155 could be a marker to identify this subtype.

Methods

To explore whether the patients with high sero-miR-155 no matter in first and third trimester, we conducted a case-control and a longitudinal cohort study. We measured the sero-miR-155 levels at first, second and third trimesters in all pregnant women. Then, using the 95th percentile (P95) of sero-miR-155 in controls as the cut-off value, we divided the
