We evaluated whether TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> levels in the placenta and blood of pre\u2010eclamptic women differed from those with normal pregnancies.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Method of study:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The subjects were 39 pregnant women carrying single fetuses (21 normal\u2010pregnant and 18 pre\u2010eclamptic patients). Their average gestational age at entry was 38\u201339\u2003weeks. Peripheral blood was collected before the onset of labor and separated serum was stored at \u221220\u00b0C. A tissue segment of the placenta was cut and frozen in liquid nitrogen immediately after delivery at \u221280\u00b0C. The frozen placental tissue was added to phosphate\u2010buffered saline. The tissue was fully homogenized and centrifuged. Separated supernatant was stored at \u221280\u00b0C. TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> levels in separated serum and TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> and total protein (TP) levels in separated supernatant were measured. The presence of TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> in the placenta was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in five pre\u2010eclamptic and five normal\u2010pregnant patients.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Serum TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> levels were higher in pre\u2010eclampsia than in normal pregnancies. However, TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\/TP levels in the placenta did not differ significantly between the two groups. As for TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> immunostaining of trophoblastic cells in the placenta, it was weak in three and moderate in two of the normal pregnancies, while it was absent in two, weak in one, and moderate in two in the pre\u2010eclampsia group.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> We demonstrated no significant increase in TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\/TP levels in the placenta in pre\u2010eclampsia despite a significant increase in serum TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> levels. There was no strong immunostaining for TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> detected by immunohistochemistry in the pre\u2010eclampsia group. These findings suggest that TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> in the placenta is not a key cytokine to interfere with normal trophoblast invasion into the myometrium in pre\u2010eclampsia, and that sources other than the placenta may contribute to the elevated levels of TNF\u2010<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> found in the circulation of pre\u2010eclamptic patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1600-0897.2005.00253.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,23]],"date-time":"2005-02-23T08:59:09Z","timestamp":1109149149000},"page":"113-119","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":42,"title":["Tumor
