Abstract: Recently research indicate that an imbalance of maternal circulating pro-and anti-angiogenic factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Thrombospondin(TSP) is a protein expressed in various cells such as platelet,
endothelial cells,matrix fiber cells,vascular smooth muscle cells,interstitial cells and immunocyte,which acts as a potent
antiangiogenic agent. TSP affects several cellular functions,including proliferation,motility,adhesion,apoptosis and infiltrate make the endometrial spiral arterioles vessel tone stricture and rejection,induce placenta blood flow reduce,then induce preeclampsia.

Key words: Thrombospondins, Pre-eclampsia, Vascular endothelial growth factors, Fibroblast growth factors
