    Abstract Preeclampsia is a life-threatening pregnancy-associated cardiovascular disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria at 20 weeks of gestation. Though its exact underlying cause is not precisely defined and likely heterogenous, a plethora of research indicates that in some women with preeclampsia, both maternal and placental vascular dysfunction plays a role in the pathogenesis and can persist into the postpartum period. Potential abnormalities include impaired placentation, incomplete spiral artery remodeling, and endothelial damage, which are further propagated by immune factors, mitochondrial stress, and an imbalance of pro- and antiangiogenic substances. While the field has progressed, current gaps in knowledge include detailed initial molecular mechanisms and effective treatment options. Newfound evidence indicates that vasopressin is an early mediator and biomarker of the disorder, and promising future therapeutic avenues include mitigating mitochondrial dysfunction, excess oxidative stress, and the resulting inflammatory state. In this review, we provide a detailed overview of vascular defects present during preeclampsia and connect well-established notions to newer discoveries at the molecular, cellular, and whole-organism levels.

    Abstract Syncytiotrophoblast stress is theorized to drive development of preeclampsia, but its molecular causes and consequences remain largely undefined. Multiple hormones implicated in preeclampsia signal via the Gαq cascade, leading to the hypothesis that excess Gαq signaling within the syncytiotrophoblast may contribute. First, we present data supporting increased Gαq signaling and antioxidant responses within villous and syncytiotrophoblast samples of human preeclamptic placenta. Second, Gαq was activated in mouse placenta using Cre-lox and DREADD methodologies. Syncytiotrophoblast-restricted Gαq activation caused hypertension, kidney damage, proteinuria, elevated circulating proinflammatory factors, decreased placental vascularization, diminished spiral artery diameter, and augmented responses to mitochondrial-derived superoxide. Administration of the mitochondrial-targeted antioxidant Mitoquinone attenuated maternal proteinuria, lowered circulating inflammatory and anti-angiogenic mediators, and maintained placental vascularization. These data demonstrate a causal relationship between syncytiotrophoblast stress and the development of preeclampsia and identify elevated Gαq signaling and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species as a cause of this stress.

    Abstract The renin-angiotensin system (RAS) within the brain is implicated in the control of fluid and electrolyte balance, autonomic functions, blood pressure, and energy expenditure. Mouse models are increasingly used to explore these mechanisms; however, sex and dose dependencies of effects elicited by chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) angiotensin II (ANG II) infusion have not been carefully established in this species. To examine the interactions among sex, body mass, and ICV ANG II on ingestive behaviors and energy balance, young adult C57BL/6J mice of both sexes were studied in a multiplexed metabolic phenotyping system (Promethion) during chronic infusion of ANG II (0, 5, 20, or 50 ng/h). At these infusion rates, ANG II caused accelerating dose-dependent increases in drinking and total energy expenditure in male mice, but female mice exhibited a complex biphasic response with maximum responses at 5 ng/h. Body mass differences did not account for sex-dependent differences in drinking behavior or total energy expenditure. In contrast, resting metabolic rate was similarly increased by ICV ANG II in a dose-dependent manner in both sexes after correction for body mass. We conclude that chronic ICV ANG II stimulates water intake, resting, and total energy expenditure in male C57BL/6J mice following straightforward accelerating dose-dependent kinetics, but female C57BL/6J mice exhibit complex biphasic responses to ICV ANG II. Furthermore, control of resting metabolic rate by ANG II is dissociable from mechanisms controlling fluid intake and total energy expenditure. Future studies of the sex dependency of ANG II within the brain of mice must be designed to carefully consider the biphasic responses that occur in females.
