Microcellular approach for the pathogenesis of placenta accreta spectrum inflammatory versus apoptotic pathways; a...

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a disorder of irregular placental invasion to the surrounding structures, it is a leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality. This study was theorized to perceive the role of Treg cells and VEGF which appealed to play a role in the pathogenesis of nonstandard extreme placental invasion. The study was carried out on 40 pregnant women; Group I (control group), and Group II (placenta accrete spectrum PAS). Light microscopic, immune-histochemical; CD 56 (NK CELLS) and CD 45 RO (T reg) western blot; P53 and VEGF morphometry and statistical analysis were done. H&E-stained sections revealed Placental tissue in unswerving contact with the myometrium, deficient decidual layer, hemorrhage, congested edematous blood vessels. The mean area percent of collagen, Treg, P53, and VEGF exposed a significant increase in the placenta accreta group when compared to that of control women. Nonetheless, the mean area percent of NK cells displayed a significant decrement PAS cases are associated with low levels of NK cells and increased levels of Treg cells, P 53, and VEGF, promoting the hyperinvasive behavior of trophoblasts of placenta accreta and dysregulate placental vascular remodeling.
