Preeclampsia (PE) is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. Klotho is a novel gene and the secret form, ?-klotho (?-KL), is related to preeclampsia. We conducted this cross-sectional study in Wuhan, China. We used immunohistochemistry, real-time PCR, western blot, ELISA to measure ?-KL expression in placenta and its secretion in maternal and umbilical cord serum, and analyzed correlations between ?-KL level and other parameters in normal and preeclampsia pregnancy. We found that both mRNA and protein expression of placental ?-KL in women with PE was significantly lower than that in normal pregnancy. Also, expression level of ?-KL in both maternal and umbilical cord was markedly decreased in PE patients. Further analyses showed that serum ?-KL exhibited positive association with fetal birth weight, and reverse association with oxidative stress and renal function markers. Receiver operating characteristic analysis suggested ?-KL might be a potential predictor for preeclampsia.
