Angiogenic Properties of Menstrual Stem Cells Are Impaired in Women with a History of Preeclampsia by Manuel Varas-Godoy, Stephanie Acuña-Gallardo, Sebastian Venegas-Duarte, Charlotte Hill, Albano Caceres-Verschae, Ornella Realini, Lara J. Monteiro, Gabriela Zavala, Maroun Khoury, Roberto Romero, Gregory Rice, Sebastian E. Illanes

“…In vitro, MenSCs obtained from patients with a history of preeclampsia expressed less endoglin and secreted less VEGF but more IL-6 than controls did. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the angiogenic and inflammatory properties of MenSCs of women with a previous pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia have reduced angiogenic capacity and are more proinflammatory than those of MenSCs of women with a previous normal pregnancy. …”
