Increased vascular endothelial cell production of interleukin-6 in severe preeclampsia

Article Abstract:

The authors have tested the hypothesis that plasma from the women with severe preeclampsia produces endothelial cell interleukin-6. Results have demonstrated that interleukin-6 production is stimulated by activation of endothelial cells by preeclamptic plasma, and that interleukin-6 is inhibited by vitamin E.

Fetal plasma stimulates endothelial cell production of cytokines and the family of suppressor of cytokine signaling in umbilical placental vascular disease

Article Abstract:

Research has been conducted on fetal plasma from the pregnancies with placental vascular disease. The authors demonstrate that this fetal placenta causes endothelial cell activation, and suggest that this could be associated with endothelial cell production of cytokines and their regulators.
