目的:探讨血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)及其可溶性受体(silt.1)与复发性流产(RSA)的相关性。方法:应用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELIsAl技术和免疫组织化学方法分别检测30例RSA患者血清和绒毛中VEGF及silt-1的表达情况,并以同期因非意愿妊娠要求行人工流产术的正常早孕妇-k-(n=30)为对照,比较VEGF及silt-1表达的临床意义。结果:RSA组血清VEGF(2637.50±2145.09ng/L)、silt—l蛋白(13796.67±ll917.08ng/L)表达水平均高于对照组(分别为982.67±675.47ng/L和3540.67±2989.80ng/L)(P〈O.051:RSA组绒毛组织vEGF和silt-1的表达阳性率(分别为76.7%和96.7%)均高于对照组(分别为50.0%和66.7%)(P〈O.05)。结论:RSA患者血清和绒毛中VEGF、silt-1表达程度升高,可能是导致孕早期胚胎停育的原因之一。
Objective: To explore the relationship between early recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF soluble receptor (silt-1). Methods: Serum levels of VEGF and silt-1 in 30 healthy early pregnancy controls of voluntary induced abortion and 30 patients of RSA were detected by ELISA. Histological localization and quantitative analysis of VEGF and silt-1 in their chorionic villi were detected by immunohistochemistry after induced abortion. Results: The expression levels of VEGF and silt-1 in both serum and ehorionic villus tissue in RSA patients were significantly higher than those of the healthy controls (P〈0.05). Serum levels of BEGF (2 637.50±2 145.09 ng/L) and silt-1 (13 796.67 ± 11 917.08 ng/L) in RSA group were significantly higher than those in the control (982.67 ± 675.47 ng/L, 3 540.67 ± 2 989.80 ng/L)(P〈0.05). The positive rates of VEGF and sft-1 in chorionic villi tissues of RSA patients (76.7%, 96.7%) were also significantly higher than those of the control (50.0%, 66.7%)(P〈0.05). Conclusion: The high expression level of VEGF and silt-1 protein in both serum and chorionic villus tissue in RSA patients may be involved in the pathogenesis of embryo growth arrest.
