Objective To investigate the correlation of the expressions of high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) and receptor for advanced glycation end products(RAGE) in maternal serum with preeclampsia. Methods Serum HMGB1 and RAGE were detected using ELISA in 34 preeclampasia pregnant women (group A), 30 preeclampasia pregnant women (group B) and 30 pregnat women without preeclampsia (group C). Results The serum concentrations of HMGB1 and RAGE in group A and group B were significantly higher than that in group C(P<0.01).There was signficant difference between group A and group B(P<0.05). Conclusions The increased expression of HMGB1 and RAGE in preeclampsia, which is related with the progress of the disease. |
