Pregnancy hypertensive disorder (PHD) is a broad term referring to conditions related to disorders of high blood pressure during pregnancy. Preeclampsia is one of 4 types of PHD characterized by an increase in systolic blood pressure ≤ 140 mmHg with a diastolic pressure ≤ 90 mmHg accompanied by proteinuria of 1+ or more. Complications of PHD include peripartum cardiomyopathy, maternal mortality, pulmonary edema, cerebrovascular accident and renal failure. As consequence, early detection of PHD is crucial in preventing complications. “Preeclampsia”, “microRNA-125b” and “Biomarker” were the keywords applied to scientific online databases, such as ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Researchgate. A total of 46 journals were screened, reviewed and utilized with utmost precision to construct this literature review. Looking at the dangers of preeclampsia on infants and mothers, miRNA-125b has potential to be used as a biomarker of preeclampsia that can occur in the third trimester. The increase in the concentration of miRNA-125b in the first trimester causes inhibition of trophoblast invasion, which is followed by inhibition of KCNA1, GPC1, and SGPL1. All of these proteins play a role in the invasion trophoblast which is also exacerbated by the increase in the concentration of mir-125b. All in all, these symptoms and the increase of mir-125b that appear in the first trimester yield as a promising result as biomarkers of preeclampsia in the third trimester. Keywords: preeclampsia, microRNA-125b, biomarker, SGPL1, maternal, infants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
