Patients with preeclampsia develop agonistic autoantibodies against the angiotensin AT1 receptor.
Immune mechanisms and the renin-angiotensin system are implicated in preeclampsia. We investigated 25 preeclamptic patients and compared them with 12 normotensive pregnant women and 10 pregnant patients with essential hypertension. Antibodies were detected by the chronotropic responses to AT1 receptor-mediated stimulation of cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes coupled with receptor-specific an...
متن کاملAgonistic angiotensin II type 1 receptor autoantibodies in postpartum women with a history of preeclampsia.
Activating angiotensin II type 1 autoantibodies (AT1-AAs) develop in women with preeclampsia and may contribute to the disorder. Insulin resistance and serum concentrations of the antiangiogenic soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) are also increased in women with preeclampsia compared with normal pregnancy. sFlt-1 and insulin resistance decrease substantially after delivery; however, si...
متن کاملAngiotensin II type 1-receptor activating antibodies in renal-allograft rejection.
BACKGROUND Antibodies against HLA antigens cause refractory allograft rejection with vasculopathy in some, but not all, patients. METHODS We studied 33 kidney-transplant recipients who had refractory vascular rejection. Thirteen had donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies, whereas 20 did not. Malignant hypertension was present in 16 of the patients without anti-HLA antibodies, 4 of whom had seizur...
متن کاملPotential roles of angiotensin receptor-activating autoantibody in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia affects 7% of first pregnancies and is one of the leading causes of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in the United States and the world.1–3 The clinical hallmarks of the disorder include hypertension, proteinuria, hypercoagulability, edema, and placental abnormalities. In advanced stages, clinical symptoms include cerebral edema, renal failure, and the hemolysis, eleva...
متن کاملActivating autoantibodies and cardiovascular disease.
Stimulating antibodies against G-protein-coupled receptors, including the β1- and β2-adrenergic receptors, the α1-adrenergic receptor, and the angiotensin II AT1 receptor, have been described, as well as activating antibodies directed at the platelet-derived growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase. Their existence and actions appear to be established. Lacking are mechanistic studies of receptor ...
