GROSS-HIST : Quantification of the Main Circulating Histones During Normal Pregnancy and Pregnancies With Placenta-mediated Complications (GROSS-HIST)
Quantification of the Main Circulating Histones During Normal Pregnancy and Pregnancies With Placenta-mediated Complications
Pregnancy generates an increased thrombotic risk, and placental-mediated diseases are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, in particular: pre-eclampsia (PE), intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), retroplacental hematomas (HRP), late intrauterine fetal deaths (LIFD) of placental origin and preterm deliveries of vascular origin. They are responsible for significant maternal-fetal morbidity/mortality. Data published in 2007 by the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) show that hypertension and pre-eclampsia are, in France, at the origin of 3 to 8% of the risk of perinatal mortality.
During pregnancy, a transitional organ of foetal origin, the placenta, is established, which is essential for the maintenance and harmonious development of the pregnancy. The chorionic villus, in contact with maternal blood in the intervillous chamber, is the structural and functional unit of the placenta. After the initial implantation phase, the trophoblastic cell constituting the main part of the placental villi differs in two ways: (A) into "citrus cytotrophoblasts" whose cells will fuse to generate the multinucleated outer layer giving the syncytiotrophoblast that ensures fetal-maternal exchanges and endocrine functions of the placenta; (B) into "invasive extra-city cytotrophoblasts" essential for the effective anchoring of the placenta in the decidualized uterine mucosa and for the remodelling of the terminal uterine spiral arteries, whose resistance to blood flow must collapse to allow effective oxygenation of the villi. Extra-city trophoblasts change from an epithelial phenotype to an endothelial phenotype. They may thus be exposed to pro-thrombotic factors such as endothelial cells. A lack of trophoblastic invasion and incomplete remodelling of the spiral uterine arteries are responsible for placental hypo-perfusion, hypoxia and the occurrence of placenta-mediated pathologies (pre-eclampsia, intrauterine growth retardation, retroplacental hematoma, fetal loss and fetal death in utero). The most common placental-mediated disease is pre-eclampsia (5% of births). It corresponds to a complication occurring from the second trimester of pregnancy and which is clinically characterized by high blood pressure, oedema and proteinuria. It is responsible for premature deliveries and is a major cause of intrauterine growth restriction.
To date, there is no specific and early biomarker for the occurrence of placental vascular pathologies. Recent developments raise, for example, the question of circulating angiogenesis inhibitory factors (sFlt1, sEng) in pre-eclampsia. With regard to treatment, early administration of low-dose aspirin before 16 weeks of pregnancy seems to reduce the risk of pre-eclampsia, hence the importance of having very early markers of the disease. Discovering such markers is therefore one of the major challenges in strengthening women's follow-up and avoiding subsequent complications. For fetal losses and retroplacental hematoma, the administration of low molecular weight heparin has been shown to be effective. However, these treatments are not specific to placental vascular pathologies. Thus, understanding and exploring the cellular and molecular mechanisms of vascular-placental interface dysfunctions remains necessary to enable targeted management of patients feeding the general principle of precision medicine.
Compare the concentrations of (i) circulating histones involved in inflammation, proliferation, migration or cell differentiation (H3-citrullinated histone, acetylated histones (Pan-histones), H1 histone) and (ii) free HMGB1 protein between the three patient groups ("GrossN", "GrossC", "VolS").
The histones H3-citrullinated, acetylated histones (Pan-histones), H1 histone as well as the free HMGB1 protein will be quantified. This choice corresponds to the histones involved in inflammation, proliferation, migration or cell differentiation and can be quantified to date.
