Figure 2 LXA4 treatment improves the symptoms of experimental PE rats. Pregnant rats were infused with saline (control group) or 1 g/kg LPS (LPS group) on day 14 of pregnancy. LXA4 (LPS + LXA4 group, 5 μg/kg) was administrated IP 2 hours after LPS administration from day 14 of pregnancy and at the rate of once per day for 7 days. (A) Seven days after administration of LPS, serum LXA4 levels were measured in rats (n = 10; ∗P<.001). (B) The fetal weight of the LPS group was significantly lower (3.27 ± 0.63 g) compared with that of the placebo and LXA4 administration groups (4.12 ± 0.54 and 3.84 ± 0.57 g, respectively; n = 10, #P<.05). (C) The SBPs of the LPS group at days 16, 18, and 20 of pregnancy were 110 ± 7, 125 ± 7, and 129 ± 6 mmHg, respectively (n = 10; #P<.05; ∗P<.001, vs. the control group at the corresponding time point). LXA4 treatment significantly alleviated SBP to 116 ± 6 and 118 ± 7 mmHg on days 18 and 20 of pregnancy, respectively (n = 10; #P<.05, vs. the LPS group). (D) Twenty-four-hour urinary protein excretions on days 12 and 18 of pregnancy were presented. There were no differences among the three groups on day 12 of pregnancy (P>.05), but on day 18 of pregnancy, after LXA4 administration, this level (0.71 ± 0.11 mg/24 hours) was significantly lower than in the LPS group (0.92 ± 0.12 mg/24 hours, n = 10; ∗P<.001) but could not attain the level of the control group (0.42 ± 0.07 mg/24 hours, n = 10; ∗P<.001).

Figure 4 LXA4 up-regulates HSD2. Human: (A) Levels of cortisol were not increased in patients with PE. Serum levels of cortisol were measured in patients with normal pregnancy and in patients with PE (n = 15; P>.05). (B) The immunohistochemical examinations of 11β-HSD1 and 11β-HSD2 in human placenta (original magnification ×400, bar = 25 μm). The density mean was calculated, as described in Materials and Methods (∗P<.001). (C) The mRNA expression of 11β-HSD2 was down-regulated in the placenta of PE patients. The human placenta tissue was used to isolate the total RNA, and the expression of 11β-HSD1 and 11β-HSD2 was analyzed by RT-PCR (top) and real-time RT-PCR (bottom, n = 15; ∗P<.001).

(A) The fetal weight of the BOC group was significantly lower (3.52 ± 0.64 g), compared with that of the sterile saline administration group (4.12 ± 0.54 g; n = 10; #P<.05). (B) The SBPs of the BOC group at days 18 and 20 of pregnancy were 112 ± 5 and 114 ± 6 mmHg, respectively (n = 10; *P<.01, vs. the control group, 105 ± 5 and 102 ± 4 mmHg at the corresponding time point). (C) Twenty-four-hour urinary protein excretions on days 12 and 18 of pregnancy were presented.
