Protein expressions for chymase and ADAM10 in normal and preeclamptic placentas by Western blot. Both chymase and ADAM10 expressions were markedly increased in preeclamptic (n=4) compared to normal (n=4) placentas. For ADAM10 expression, two bands were detected in normal tissues and three bands were detected in preeclamptic tissues. The 100kDa size corresponds to unprocessed (pro-form) form; the 60kDa size is the active form; and the 75kDa size refers to partially processed form. The active form of ADAM10 is markedly increased in preeclamptic placental tissues compared to normal placental tissues.
