It was found in our previous studies that EPH gestosis is accompanied by an extensive remodeling of the extracellular matrix of the umbilical cord. Studies were performed on the umbilical cord veins of 10 control and 10 newborns delivered by mothers with EPH gestosis. It was decided to determine umbilical cord vein ability to bind of labeled (125J)-basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and FGF content by Western immunoblot and ELISA methods. Our experiments indicated that the extracts of umbilical cord vein contain endogenous bFGF and several soluble FGF-binding compounds of different molecular weight. It is of interest that EPH gestosis is associated with a decrease in bFGF content. It seems be possible that the decrease of bFGF amount may be one of the factors, which constrain the biosynthesis of collagen in EPH gestosis umbilical cord vein wall.

D007231 Infant, Newborn An infant during the first 28 days after birth. Neonate,Newborns,Infants, Newborn,Neonates,Newborn,Newborn Infant,Newborn Infants
D011225 Pre-Eclampsia A complication of PREGNANCY, characterized by a complex of symptoms including maternal HYPERTENSION and PROTEINURIA with or without pathological EDEMA. Symptoms may range between mild and severe. Pre-eclampsia usually occurs after the 20th week of gestation, but may develop before this time in the presence of trophoblastic disease.

D011247 Pregnancy The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH. Gestation,Pregnancies
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005109 Extracellular Matrix A meshwork-like substance found within the extracellular space and in association with the basement membrane of the cell surface. It promotes cellular proliferation and provides a supporting structure to which cells or cell lysates in culture dishes adhere. Matrix, Extracellular,Extracellular Matrices,Matrices, Extracellular
D005260 Female Females
D005312 Fetal Blood Blood of the fetus. Exchange of nutrients and waste between the fetal and maternal blood occurs via the PLACENTA.
