ABSTRACT
Preeclampsia (PE) is clinically defined as a part of pregnancy characterized by hypertension and multiple organ failure. PE is broadly categorized into two types "placental" and "maternal". Placental PE is associated with fetal growth restriction and adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. STOX1 (Storkhead box 1), a transcription factor, discovered through a complete transcript analysis of the PE susceptibility locus of 70,000 bp on chromosome 10q22.1. So far, studies investigating the relationship between STOX1 and PE have focused on STOX1 overexpression, STOX1 isoform imbalance, and STOX1 variations that could have clinical consequence. Initially, the Y153H variation of STOX was associated with the placental form of PE. Additionally, studies focusing on the maternal and fetal interface have shown that NODAL and STOX1 variations play a role together in the unsuccessful remodeling of the spiral arteries. Research specifically addressing the overexpression of STOX1 has shown that its disruption of cellular hemoastasis, leading to impaired hypoxia response, disruption of the cellular antioxidant system, and nitroso/redox imbalance. Furthermore, functional studies have been conducted showing that the imbalance between STOX1 isoforms contributes to the pathogenesis of placental PE. Research indicates that STOX1B competes with STOX1A and that the overexpression of STOX1B reverses cellular changes that STOX1A induces to the pathogenesis of PE. In this review, we aimed at elucidating the relationship between STOX1 and PE as well as function of STOX1. In conclusion, based on a comprehensive literature review, numerous studies support the role of STOX1 in the pathogenesis of PE.
