ABSTRACT
Recently, advanced maternal age (AMA) has been increasing due to late marriage and assisted reproductive technology. AMA is high-risk pregnancy associated with the life-threatening diseases such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP). Recently we have reported novel AMA model mice using aged spontaneous pregnant mice, and found that the phenotypes of AMA model mice reflect the same characteristics as human AMA. We have also demonstrated that atypical angiogenic factors profiles including soluble VEGF-R1 (sFlt-1) and placental growth factor in both AMA pregnant women and AMA model mice. VEGF-endothelin-1 system have been also known as one of HDP-associated factors, however, there has been few reports on the relation between VEGF-endothelin-1 system and AMA. In this study, we investigated the profiles of VEGF-endothelin-1 system using our model mice's samples. As a result, VEGF and endothelin-1 levels were not significantly different between AMA and young individuals. Our results indicated that the mechanisms of hypertension in AMA may differ from those in young individuals from the point of VEGF-endothelin-1 system.
