Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Preeclampsia, HELLP syndrome, fetal growth restriction, gestational diabetes mellitus, preterm birth (preterm prelabor rupture of membranes and spontaneous preterm labor), and an invasive placenta are major complications responsible for maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The elucidation of the pathogenetic mechanisms related to the initiation and onset of severe pregnancy-related complications enables the identification of potential biomarkers for the early stratification of at-risk patients. Additionally, pregnancy-related complications induce long-term metabolic and vascular abnormalities that might increase the overall risk of metabolic, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, kidney, and other diseases later in life in mothers and their offspring. This Topic aims to provide an overview of the latest research on the mechanisms associated with pregnancy-related complications as well as on the contributions of pregnancy-related complications to the later development of various diseases. This will include the underlying mechanisms, diagnostics/prognostics, and treatment strategies associated with pregnancy-related complications, and will be of interest to scientists and clinicians working in this quickly expanding area.

Topics will include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • Pathogenesis of pregnancy-related complications;
  • Diagnosis and prognosis of pregnancy-related complications;
  • Short-term and long-term follow-up after pregnancy-related complications (mothers and offspring);
  • Novel treatment modalities of pregnancy-related complications and their short-term as well as long-term consequences.

The sirtuin family, a group of NAD+-dependent class 3 histone deacetylases (HDACs), was extensively studied initially as a group of longevity genes that are activated in caloric restriction and act in concert with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides to extend the lifespan. Subsequent studies have found that sirtuins are involved in various physiological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle progression, and insulin signaling, and they have been extensively studied as cancer genes. In recent years, it has been found that caloric restriction increases ovarian reserves, suggesting that sirtuins may play a regulatory role in reproductive capacity, and interest in the sirtuin family has continued to increase. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the existing studies and analyze the role and mechanism of SIRT1, a member of the sirtuin family, in regulating ovarian function. Research and review on the positive regulation of SIRT1 in ovarian function and its therapeutic effect on PCOS syndrome. Full article

Birth is a physiological act that is part of the morpho-functional economy of the maternal body. Each stage in the act of birth has a predetermined pathway that is neurohormonally induced and morpho-functionally established through specific and characteristic adaptations. Like maternity, childbirth also has an important impact on the maternal body as a biological structure and psycho-emotional behavior. Cesarean section performed at the request of the mother with no medical underlying conditions besides the prolonged hospitalization risk can also cause breathing problems in children, delayed breastfeeding, and possible complications in a future pregnancy. Vaginal birth remains the path of choice for a physiological evolution pregnancy. Although erroneously considered safe and easy today, cesarean section delivery must remain an emergency procedure or a procedure recommended for pregnancies where birth is a risk to the mother and to the child, as cesarean section itself is a risk factor for negative outcomes for both mother and baby. This review summarizes the impact that both cesarean section and natural birth have on mother and newborn in their attempt to adapt to postpartum events and extrauterine life. Full article
