ABSTRACT
The placental growth factor ( PlGF) is a kind of glycoprotein with four isoforms , which is predominantly expressed in the placenta . The PlGF plays an important role in the angiogenesis and development , as a biomarker of placenta angiogenesis , the decreasing of the PlGF expression may lead to the dysfunction of vascularization .Anti-angiogenesis is a pathological characteristic of pre-eclampsia.The PlGF levels both in the serum and urine are lower in preeclampsia than those in normal pregnancy .Due to the decreasing of PlGF during the first trimester , the PlGF is an important predictable marker of preeclampsia .It is also expected to be used in the treatment of preeclampsia .
