Resumen
CEREBROVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS, INCLUDING CEREBRAL EDEMA AND ISCHEMIC AND HEMORRHAGIC STROKE, CONSTITUTE THE LEADING CAUSE OF MATERNAL MORTALITY ASSOCIATED WITH PREECLAMPSIA. THE UNDERLYING MECHANISMS OF THESE CEREBROVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS REMAIN UNCLEAR. HOWEVER, THEY ARE LINKED TO PLACENTAL DYSFUNCTION AND BLOODBRAIN BARRIER (BBB) DISRUPTION. NEVERTHELESS, THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE TWO DISTANT ORGANS IS STILL BEING DETERMINED. INCREASING EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT THE PLACENTA RELEASES SIGNALING MOLECULES, INCLUDING EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES, INTO MATERNAL CIRCULATION. EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES ARE CATEGORIZED ACCORDING TO THEIR SIZE, WITH SMALL EXTRACELLULAR VESICLES (SEVS SMALLER THAN 200 NM IN DIAMETER) CONSIDERED CRITICAL SIGNALING PARTICLES IN BOTH PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS. IN PREECLAMPSIA, THERE IS AN INCREASED NUMBER OF CIRCULATING SEVS IN MATERNAL CIRCULATION, THE SIGNALING FUNCTION OF WHICH IS NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD. PLACENTAL SEVS RELEASED IN PREECLAMPSIA OR FROM NORMAL PREGNANCY PLACENTAS EXPOSED TO HYPOXIA INDUCE BRAIN ENDOTHELIAL DYSFUNCTION AND DISRUPTION OF THE BBB.
