The BPH/5 Mouse Model of Superimposed Preeclampsia Is Not a Model of HELLP Syndrome
Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystemic disease of pregnancy affecting 2–8% of women worldwide. PE-induced liver disease is a rare but important complication of pregnancy. The pathogenesis of liver dysfunction in PE is poorly understood, but is correlated with dysregulated angiogenic, inflammatory, and...

Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystemic disease of pregnancy affecting 2–8% of women worldwide. PE-induced liver disease is a rare but important complication of pregnancy. The pathogenesis of liver dysfunction in PE is poorly understood, but is correlated with dysregulated angiogenic, inflammatory, and hypoxic events in the early phase of placental development. Because BPH/5 mice develop the maternal and fetal hallmarks of PE during pregnancy, we hypothesized that they may also share the clinicopathologic findings of the human PE-associated hemolysis elevated liver transaminases low platelets (HELLP) syndrome. Using this model, we determined that microangiopathic hemolysis, thrombocytopenia, and elevated liver enzymes do not occur in mid to late gestation. Pregnant BPH/5 mice do not develop histologic evidence of hepatic inflammation, but they do have increased microsteatosis scores at preconception and in mid to late gestation that progress to macrosteatosis in a subset of mice in late gestation. The transcriptional upregulation of TNF-α, CXCL-10, and TLR-2 occurs in mid gestation prior to the onset of macrosteatosis. The BPH/5 female mouse is not a model of HELLP syndrome, but may be a model of fatty liver disease associated with pregnancy. |
