摘要
Lipoxins are endogenous inflammatory mediators that are shown to be upregulated with aspirin (ASA) exposure in several populations. Our objective was to describe lipoxin levels in high-risk women at baseline and with ASA exposure. This open-label randomized trial recruited participants defined as high risk for pre-eclampsia per the USPSTF major criteria. Participants were randomized to 81mg or 162mg of ASA prophylaxis and analyzed based on dose exposure or grouped as high-risk ASA-exposed. A separate cohort recruited simultaneously of low-risk patients without major criteria served as controls. Serum samples were obtained at 11-16 and 28-32 weeks’ gestation. Lipoxin (LXA4) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in maternal plasma were quantified using Cayman Lipoxin A4 ELISA and hsCRP protein enzyme immunoassay. We utilized t-tests and simple linear regression. 56 low risk and 104 high-risk participants were included (47 taking 81mg; 57 taking 162mg ASA). Demographic characteristics differed between groups as expected (Table 1). CRP was significantly correlated with LXA4 concentration at enrollment for the total population (P=0.03) and was higher in high risk participants (P=.04). LXA4 concentrations were significantly lower in high-risk vs. low-risk participants at enrollment (P< 0.0001, Table 2). Over the midtrimester, Lipoxin concentrations decreased for both low and high-risk groups, but this decline was significantly lower in the aspirin-exposed patients, P=.007. This change in LXA4 concentration, termed delta, was not correlated with CRP concentration in the third trimester or with a change in CRP between enrollment and the third trimester suggesting an independent action related to aspirin exposure. In pregnancy, aspirin exposure appears to preserve lipoxin concentration suggesting a possible mechanism of action for prophylaxis. This observation is consistent with other populations treated with this medication outside of obstetrics.View Large Image Figure ViewerDownload Hi-res image Download (PPT)
