AbstractPreeclampsia (PE) is the leading cause of maternal and fetal morbidity or mortality but lacks reliable methods for early diagnosis. In a previous study, serum SERPINA5 levels were higher in women with PE before the clinical manifestation of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of SERPINA5 in predicting PE and investigate its role in trophoblast cell biology. A multicenter, 2-stage observational case-control study was performed to develop and validate an early predictive PE model based on SERPINA5, maternal characteristics, and inflammatory factors. To further understand the relationship between SERPINA5 and PE, SERPINA5 was overexpressed or knocked down in extravillous trophoblast cells (EVT) and a pregnant rat model. After development and initial validation, a model that combined SERPINA5 and inflammatory factors had a high predictive ability for PE before 20 weeks gestation with an AUC of 0.90 (95% CI 0.83-0.96). It also demonstrated that SERPINA5 inhibited primary EVT cell invasion by disrupting the urokinase-type plasminogen activator/urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPA/uPAR) pathway, in turn, is involved in the development of PE. In vivo experiments also proved that overexpression of SERPINA5 induced a PE-like syndrome (hypertension and proteinuria) in pregnant rats. Therefore, serum SERPINA5 is a promising early biomarker of PE, suggesting that it may be involved in placental development through its action on the uPA/uPAR system prior to the clinical manifestation of PE.Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
