Abstract
Background
We investigated the dynamics and the predictive value of soluble syndecan-1 (Sdc-1), a biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, in uneventful pregnancies and pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia (PE).
Methods
Serum levels of Sdc-1 were measured at sequential time points during and after uneventful pregnancies (control, n = 95) and pregnancies developing PE (PE_long, n = 12). Levels were further measured in women with symptomatic PE (PE_state, n = 46) at a single time point.
Results
Sdc-1 levels increased consistently throughout pregnancy. In the PE_long group Sdc-1 levels were lower at all visits throughout pregnancy, and reached significance in weeks 18–22 (p = 0.019), 23–27 (p = 0.009), 28–32 (p = 0.006) and 33–36 (p = 0.008). After delivery, Sdc-1 levels dropped sharply in all pregnancies but were significantly elevated in the PE_long group. The predictive power of Sdc-1 was evaluated analyzing receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. A significant power was reached at weeks 14–17 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.65, p = 0.025), 23–27 (AUC 0.73, p = 0.004) and 33–36 (AUC 0.75, p = 0.013).
Conclusions
In summary, Sdc-1 levels were lower in women developing PE compared to uneventful pregnancies and Sdc-1 might be useful to predict PE. After delivery, Sdc-1 levels remained higher in women with PE. Additional studies investigating the link between glycocalyx degradation, Sdc-1 levels and placental and endothelial dysfunction in pregnancies affected by PE are warranted.
