The objective of this study was to quantify the concentration of total and placenta-derived exosomes in maternal and fetal circulation in small fetuses classified as FGR or small for gestational age (SGA). Methods: Prospective cohort study in singleton term gestations including 10 normally grown fetuses and 20 small fetuses, sub-classified into SGA and FGR accordingly to birth weight (BW) percentile and fetoplacental Doppler. Exosomes were isolated from maternal and fetal plasma and characterized by morphology, enrichment of exosomal proteins, and size distribution by electron microscopy, western blot, and nanoparticle tracking analysis, respectively. Total and specific placenta-derived exosomes were determined using quantum dots coupled with CD63þve and placental-type alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)þve antibodies, respectively. Results: Maternal concentrations of CD63þve and PLAPþve exosomes were similar between the groups (all p > 0.05). However, there was a significant positive correlation between the ratio of placental-derived to total exosomes (PLAPþve ratio) and BW percentile, [rho ¼ 0.77 (95% CI: 0.57 to 0.89); p ¼ 0.0001]. The contribution of placental exosomes to the total exosome concentration in maternal and fetal circulation showed a significant decrease among cases, with lower PLAPþve ratios in FGR compared to controls and SGA cases. Discussion: Quantification of placental exosomes in maternal plasma reflects fetal growth and it may be a useful indicator of placental function. (hide)

The objective of this study was to quantify the concentration of total and placenta-derived exosomes in maternal and fetal circulation in small fetuses classified as FGR or small for gestational age (SGA). Methods: Prospective cohort study in singleton term gestations including 10 normally grown fetuses and 20 small fetuses, sub-classified into SGA and FGR accordingly to birth weight (BW) percentile and fetoplacental Doppler. Exosomes were isolated from maternal and fetal plasma and characterized by morphology, enrichment of exosomal proteins, and size distribution by electron microscopy, western blot, and nanoparticle tracking analysis, respectively. Total and specific placenta-derived exosomes were determined using quantum dots coupled with CD63þve and placental-type alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)þve antibodies, respectively. Results: Maternal concentrations of CD63þve and PLAPþve exosomes were similar between the groups (all p > 0.05). However, there was a significant positive correlation between the ratio of placental-derived to total exosomes (PLAPþve ratio) and BW percentile, [rho ¼ 0.77 (95% CI: 0.57 to 0.89); p ¼ 0.0001]. The contribution of placental exosomes to the total exosome concentration in maternal and fetal circulation showed a significant decrease among cases, with lower PLAPþve ratios in FGR compared to controls and SGA cases. Discussion: Quantification of placental exosomes in maternal plasma reflects fetal growth and it may be a useful indicator of placental function. (hide)
