CXCL3 and MAPK/ERK pathway were aberrantly expressed in the placentas of patients with PE. a Results of real-time quantitative PCR showing the expression of CXCL3 in placentas (Normal = 40, PE = 43). b-d Results of western blotting showing the expression of CXCL3 in placentas. e Expression of CK7 and CXCL3 in placenta with the Immunofluorescence (200×). f Positive correlation (r = 0.6588) between CXCL3 mRNA and the relative expression of TARID in placentas (Normal = 40, PE = 43) (Pearson correlation analysis). All experiments were conducted in triplicate; the values are shown as the mean ± SEM; vs. normal，**P < 0.01, *P < 0.05
