Journal Article
Stratikos, E., Warthan, M., Strauss, J. F., Kurlak, L. O., Seamon, K., Lee, E. D., & Mistry, H. D. (2020). The Differential Expression of ERAP1/ERAP2 and Immune Cell Activation in Pre-eclampsia. Frontiers in Immunology, 11, Article 396. https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2020.00396

Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a disorder of pregnancy, often leading to serious and fatal complications. Endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 1 and 2 (ERAP1/ERAP2) are present in the placenta. They are involved in processes regulating blood pressure, angioge... Read More about The Differential Expression of ERAP1/ERAP2 and Immune Cell Activation in Pre-eclampsia.

A pilot study of alterations in oxidized angiotensinogen and antioxidants in pre-eclamptic pregnancy (2020)
Journal Article
Dahabiyeh, L. A., Tooth, D., Kurlak, L. O., Mistry, H. D., Pipkin, F. B., & Barrett, D. A. (2020). A pilot study of alterations in oxidized angiotensinogen and antioxidants in pre-eclamptic pregnancy. Scientific Reports, 10(1), Article 1956. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-020-58930-7

© 2020, The Author(s). The oxidation status of angiotensinogen (AGT) may have a critical role in pre-eclampsia. We used a validated, quantitative, mass spectrometry-based method to measure the oxidized and total AGT levels in plasma of pre-eclamptic...

Human placental renin–angiotensin system in normotensive and pre-eclamptic pregnancies at high altitude and after acute hypoxia–reoxygenation insult (2016)
Journal Article
Kurlak, L., Mistry, H. D., Cindrova-Davies, T., Burton, G., & Broughton Pipkin, F. (2016). Human placental renin–angiotensin system in normotensive and pre-eclamptic pregnancies at high altitude and after acute hypoxia–reoxygenation insult. Journal of Physiology, 594(5), 1327-1340. https://doi.org/10.1113/JP271045

A functioning placental renin–angiotensin system (RAS) appears necessary for uncomplicated pregnancy and is present during placentation, which occurs under low oxygen tensions. Placental RAS is increased in pre-eclampsia (PE), characterised by placen...

Placental expression of adenosine A2A receptor and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in early pregnancy, term and pre-eclamptic pregnancies: interactions with placental renin-angiotensin system (2015)
Journal Article
Kurlak, L., Williams, P. J., Bulmer, J. N., Broughton Pipkin, F., & Mistry, H. D. (2015). Placental expression of adenosine A2A receptor and hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha in early pregnancy, term and pre-eclamptic pregnancies: interactions with placental renin-angiotensin system. Placenta, 36(5), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.02.011

Normal placentation occurs under low oxygen tensions yet hypoxia is also implicated in placental pathologies such as pre-eclampsia (PE). Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), adenosine and tissue renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) are known to promote angiog...

Is the atherosclerotic phenotype of pre-eclamptic placentas due to altered lipoprotein concentrations and placental lipoprotein receptors?: role of a small-for-gestational-age phenotype (2013)
Journal Article
Hentchke, M., Poli-de-Figueiredo, C., Pinheiro da Costa, B., Kurlak, L., Williams, P. J., & Mistry, H. D. (2013). Is the atherosclerotic phenotype of pre-eclamptic placentas due to altered lipoprotein concentrations and placental lipoprotein receptors?: role of a small-for-gestational-age phenotype. Journal of Lipid Research, 54, https://doi.org/10.1194/jlr.M036699

Artherosis of spiral arteries in uteroplacental beds from pre-eclamptic women resemble those of atherosclerosis, characterised by increased plasma lipids and lipoproteins. We hypothesised 1) lipoproteins receptors/transporter in placenta would be up-...

Thyroid hormones and their placental deiodination in normal and pre-eclamptic pregnancy (2013)
Journal Article

Pre-eclampsia is associated with lower serum selenium concentrations and glutathione peroxidase expression/activity; total thyroid hormones are also lower. Objectives, study design and main outcome measures: We hypothesised that the placental seleno...
