Identification of ferroptosis-related genes in syncytiotrophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles of preeclampsia.

ABSTRACT: Preeclampsia (PE), defined as new-onset hypertension and multi-organ systemic complication during pregnancy, is the leading cause of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity. With extracellular vesicles research progresses, current data refers to the possibility that ferroptosis may play a role in exosomal effects. Evidence has suggested that ferroptosis may contribute to the pathogenesis of preeclampsia by bioinformatics analyses. The purpose of the current study is to identify the potential ferroptosis-related genes in syncytiotrophoblast-derived extracellular vesicles (STB-EVs) of preeclampsia using bioinformatics analyses. Clinical characteristics and gene expression data of all samples were obtained from the NCBI GEO database. The differentially expressed mRNAs (DE-mRNAs) in STB-
