Abstract:

Pre-eclampsia, a pregnancy-related condition characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 weeks of gestation, remains a major threat to maternal and infant outcomes globally. If this disease is not controlled, it may lead to maternal HELLP syndrome, eclampsia, placental abruption and other complications, some of which may lead to fetal intrauterine growth restriction, and even cause fetal death and serious adverse pregnancy outcomes in utero. However, currently there is no effective biomarker for early prediction of pre-eclampsia. Most scholars believe that pre-eclampsia is the result of a multi-factorial effect mainly due to damage to the placenta, considering the placenta protein 13 (PP13) as one of the placenta protein specificity, high expression in placenta nourish cells, therefore, this review combines the latest literatures at home and abroad, introduces the PP13 in maternal pregnancy physiological factors and its effect in the development process of pre-eclampsia, discusses the PP13 as pre-eclampsia early prediction of potential markers and its application prospect in terms of targeted therapy.
