Maternal and foetal angiogenic imbalance in congenital heart defects

Abstract: An intrinsically angiogenic impairment exists in CHD that appears to be present in both the maternal and foetal circulation and foetal heart. Our data suggest that an imbalance of angiogenic-antiangiogenic factors is associated with developmental defects of the human heart.

“…Es decir, antes de que se inicie la invasión trofoblástica ya se habría desencadenado el desequilibrio de los factores angiogénicos condicionado por el defecto cardiaco del embrión, el cual podría alterar el desarrollo de la vasculatura placentaria y condicionar el desarrollo de la PE. Tanto en mujeres con PE como en madres de fetos con defectos conotruncales y de válvulas cardiacas se han identificado niveles séricos disminuidos de PIGF durante las semanas 11 a 13 de gestación (7).…”

“…Recently, it has been reported that fetuses with CHD have decreased placental growth factor (PlGF) at 11-13 weeks' gestation (17). Furthermore, theses fetuses have higher anti-angiogenic expression characterised by soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1), vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) and soluble endoglin (sEng) than controls (18). Theses results might suggest that placental impairment contributes to impair the potential growth of fetuses with CHD.…”

“…In zebrafish embryos, the blockage of VEGF receptors resulted in a functional and structural defect in cardiac valve development, thereby suggesting that these receptors are involved in heart valve formation [13]. We have recently reported that, in isolated major fetal heart defects, an antiangiogenic imbalance existed in maternal and cord blood, indicating impaired placental angiogenesis [14,15]. Such differences were observed in cases with valvular and septal defects which, in turn, are the most common types of CHD observed in DS [6,16].…”
