OBJECTIVE: To examine the expressions of thioredoxin-1 (TRX-1) and thioredoxin-1 binding protein-2 (TBP-2) in placentas affected by preeclampsia. STUDY DESIGN: We examined the mRNA levels of TRX-1, TBP-2, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) in preeclamptic (n=20) and normal placentas (n=18) by quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: We found the mRNA level of TRX-1 was significantly decreased (p<0.005), while the mRNA levels of TBP-2, COX-2, and TNF-alpha were significantly increased in the placentas in preeclampsia when compared to the normal group (p<0.005). CONCLUSION: These data suggest that TBP-2 may play roles in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, probably by contributing to oxidative stress and inflammation. Thus, TBP-2 may be a potential therapeutic target for preeclampsia.
