Placental Extracellular Vesicles; Regulators of Maternal PhysiologyWednesday, 29 November 2023 at 11:45  Add to Calendar ▼2023-11-29 11:45:002023-11-29 12:45:00Europe/LondonPlacental Extracellular Vesicles; Regulators of Maternal PhysiologyExtracellular Vesicles and Cell-Free RNAs 2023 in Laguna Hills, CaliforniaLaguna Hills, CaliforniaSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comThe human placenta produces vast quantities of extracellular vesicles into the maternal blood continuously during pregnancy. Biodistribution studies indicate that the majority of these EVs are taken up from the maternal blood rapidly in the lungs, liver kidneys and spleen. Functional studies demonstrate that normotensive placental EVs can protect against the development of hypertension long-term while EVs from pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia a hypertensive disease of pregnancy activate the maternal endothelium and induce a pro-constrictive phenotype in resistance arteries. These functional studies suggest that the protein and/or regulatory RNA cargos of placental EVs have a long-lasting regulatory effect on the maternal cardiovascular system. |
