}Impaired endothelial barrier function resulting in increased vascular permeability is a characteristic vascular response in preeclampsia, a hypertensive and multiple systemic disorder of human pregnancy. During the last two decades, endothelial function in preeclampsia has been intensively studied and significant progress has been made in understanding the cellular and molecular bases of the altered endothelial cell response. In this review, we address the nature and mechanisms that are…

A perfusable triculture model, consisting of human endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and pericytes, capable of recapitulating growth and remodeling in a system that mimics inflamed placental microvessels, highlights that an imbalance in endothelial–pericyte crosstalk can play a critical role in the development of vascular pathology and associated diseases.

- Biology, MedicineThe Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism

It is concluded that placental trophoblast cells produce factors that diminish the barrier function of endothelial cells and endothelial tight junctions are more susceptible to factors released from preeclamptic trophoplast cells than from normal trophOBlast cells, which implicate troPHoblast-derived factors in the increased vascular permeability associated with preeclampsia.

Preeclamptic endothelial cells demonstrate significantly enhanced MMP‐2, TIMP‐1 and TIMP-2 release compared to normal cells; however, the magnitude of the enhanced release is small when compared to the differences in M MP‐2 release in cells from preeClamptic and normal pregnancies.
