Abstract
Background:
Preeclampsia is still become main cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality in addition to bleeding and infection. Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that occurs in about 5-10% and become main cause of maternal and fetal mortality and morbidity. The etiology and pathogenesis of preeclampsia syndrome have not fully understood. Autophagy and apoptosis is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. This research was done to see the difference in the expression of LC3 and Caspase 3 in normal pregnancy, early onset preeclampsia (EOP) and late onset preeclampsia (LOP) groups.
Methods:
This was a cross sectional study, research was conducted in February until May 2014. Immunohistochemical examination of the placenta was done to assess the expression of LC3 and caspase 3.
Results:
Expression of LC3 in EOP was higher than LOP and normal pregnancies expression of Caspase 3 in EOP was higher than LOP and normal pregnancy expression of Caspase 3 in EOP was higher than normal pregnancy.
Conclusions:
There was no difference between expression of LC3 in normal pregnancy, EOP and LOP but there was a difference between expression of Caspase 3 in normal pregnancy, EOP and LOP. There was a difference between expression of Caspase 3 in normal pregnancy and LOP.
