Expression of TIMP3 and TACE in normal and preeclamptic placentas. A: Representative immunostaining of TIMP3 and TACE in villous tissues from normal and preeclamptic placentas. TIMP3 expression was decreased and TACE expression was increased in syncytiotrophoblasts of preeclamptic placentas compared to normal placentas. Bar=50micron. B: Total protein expression of TIMP3 and TACE in normal and preeclamptic placentas by Western blot. Consistent with immunostaining results, TIMP3 expression was significantly reduced and TACE expression was significantly increased in preeclamptic placentas compared to normal placentas, * p<0.05.
