Abstract
Trophoblast cells are crucial structural units of the placenta, responsible for maintaining its integrity and function. These cells synthesize and secrete specific proteins that play essential roles in placental vascularization, maternal and fetal immune tolerance, and other critical processes. An abnormal level of trophoblast-derived secreted proteins has been closely linked to pregnancy-related diseases. Preeclampsia, a severe complication of pregnancy characterized by de-novo development of hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation, poses significant health risks to both the mother and fetus. This article reviews several key trophoblast-derived proteins that are widely recognized for their roles in preeclampsia. The specific mechanisms of action and interconnections among these proteins in preeclampsia are discussed, along with novel insights into the underlying pathological mechanisms of this disease.
