Abstract
BACKGROUND Preeclampsia (PE) is a syndromic disorder that affects 2% to 8% of pregnancies and is diagnosed principally when hypertension appears in the second-d half of pregnancy. WHO estimates the incidence of PE to be seven times higher in developing countries than in developed countries. Severe preeclampsia/eclampsia is one of the most important causes of maternal mortality, associated with 50,000 to 100,000 annual deaths globally as well as serious fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality, especially in developing countries. Even though evidence from family-based studies suggest PE has a heritable component, its etiology, and specific genetic contributions remain unclear. Many studies examining the genetic factors contributing to PE have been conducted, most of them are focused on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Given that PE has a very important inflammatory component, is mandatory to examine cytokine-SNPs for elucidating all mechanisms involved in this pathology. In this review, we describe the most important cytokine-polymorphisms associated with the onset and development of PE. We aim to provide current and relevant evidence in this regard. METHODS We searched English databases such as PubMed and the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The publication time of the papers was set from the establishment of the databases to February 2022. All studies about Th1/Th2/Th17 cytokines polymorphisms were included in our study. RESULTS SNPs in IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17A, and IL-22 are associated with the development, early-onset and severity of PE, being the Th1/Th2/Th17 responses affected by the presence of these SNPs. CONCLUSIONS The changes in Th1/Th2/Th17 response modify processes such as placentation, control of inflammation, and vascular function. Nonetheless, association studies have shown different results depending on sample size, diagnostic, and population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of functional genetic polymorphisms of the interleukin-12B (IL-12B) gene on the susceptibility to preeclampsia in northern Chinese women. STUDY DESIGN Maternal peripheral blood from 306 preeclamptic women and 310 control women and the placentas from 52 preeclamptic and 55 control women were collected. Two polymorphisms (rs17860508 and rs3212227) of the IL-12B gene were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with a direct sequencing method. The mRNA expression of IL-12B in the placentas was measured by quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). RESULTS Significant differences were observed between preeclamptic women and the control group in the genotype frequencies of rs17860508 (P = 0.017). Compared with the TTAGAG/TTAGAG genotype of rs17860508, the GC/GC genotype were associated with a higher risk of preeclampsia (adjusted OR: 1.95; 95% CI = 1.18-3.22; P = 0.009), especially the early-onset preeclampsia (adjusted OR: 2.40; 95% CI = 1.23-4.68; P = 0.010). The qRT-PCR results showed that the mRNA levels of IL-12B were significantly higher in the placentas of preeclampsia patients than that in the placentas of controls (P = 0.001). Moreover, the expression of IL-12B mRNA was significantly higher in the placentas of patients carrying the GC/GC genotype than in those carrying the TTAGAG/GC (P = 0.007) and TTAGAG/TTAGAG (P = 0.005) genotypes. CONCLUSION The GC/GC genotype of rs17860508 polymorphism may be a risk factor for the early-onset preeclampsia by upregulating the expression of IL-12B in northern Chinese women.

Abstract
Although a number of theories have been suggested, including roles for oxidative stress, an abnormal maternal-fetal interface, and genetic and environmental factors, the etiopathology of pre-eclampsia (PE) remains unclear. Maternal immune tolerance is important for maintaining pregnancy, and researchers have increasingly focused on the critical roles of cytokines in the pathogenesis of PE in recent years. The assessment of candidate genetic polymorphisms in PE could partially elucidate the mechanisms of susceptibility to disease, and contribute to seeking for new diagnosis and treatment methods of PE. PE can lead to severe complications, and even the death of both mother and fetus. Although the complex pathology is not yet clear, some evidence suggested that the occurrence of PE is related to inflammatory factors. We reviewed the current understandings of roles of cytokines in PE, and provided an extensive overview of the role of single nucleotide chain polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genes potentially underlying the pathophysiology of PE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This systematic review and meta-analysis study was performed to assess the potential association between interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs1143634 and rs16944) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) SNP (rs1800795) and pre-eclampsia (PE). METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in the international search engines and databases, including MEDLINE (via PubMed), Scopus, and Web of Science (ISI) up to 9 March 2021. After retrieving relevant articles, data extraction was performed by four authors independently. Pooled ORs and corresponding 95% CIs were used to evaluate the association between IL-1β and IL-6 polymorphisms and PE risk. Cochran's Q test was used to check heterogeneity, and the I2 index was calculated for measuring the heterogeneity between the estimations of included studies. RESULTS After reviewing fully published studies, 21 studies were included in this study based on the eligibility criteria. Our results showed that rs16944 and rs1143634 of IL-1β were significantly associated with the risk of PE. Regarding rs16944, the minor C allele significantly decreased the risk of PE (C vs. T: OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.69-0.90). In contrast, the minor T allele of rs1143634 significantly increased the risk of PE (T vs. C: OR = 1. 28, 95% CI = 1.04-1.58). There was no significant association between IL-6 rs1800795 (C vs. G: OR = 1.04, 95% CI = 0.93-1.16) polymorphism and PE risk. CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests rs1143634 and rs16944 polymorphisms of IL-1β are related to the risk of PE.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preeclampsia (PE) is a life-threatening complication of pregnancy that accounts for 12% of all maternal deaths worldwide. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between the polymorphisms of angiotensinogen (AGT) gene and preeclampsia. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this study, 240 unrelated preeclampsia patients and 178 normotensive women were examined. Genomic DNA was extracted then we assessed M235T(C/T) and A-6G polymorphisms of the AGT gene. Genotyping of M235T and A-6G polymorphisms were performed using SSP-PCR and MS-PCR, respectively. RESULTS A significant protective association was observed between A-6G G allele, A-6G A/G heterozygote genotype (OR = 0.6, p = 0.007 and OR = 0.6, p = 0.04) against PE. Furthermore, it was shown that two copies of A-6G A allele would increase PE risk (OR: 0.62, p = 0.04). Our results did not show a significant association for M235T polymorphism and PE. However, the combinations of A-6G A/A genotype and M235T T/C genotype (OR = 0.4, p = 0.02) and also A-6G A/G genotype and M235T T/C genotype (OR = 0.5, p = 0.04) in controls represented a significant protective association against PE. CONCLUSION According to the existence of significant correlation between two candidate polymorphisms, A-6G and M235T polymorphisms, with PE disease in our study, they may be considered as valuable factors in susceptibility to PE disease in Iranian women.

Abstract
Preeclampsia is a multi-system hypertensive disorder of pregnancy, with significant rates of maternal and neonatal morbidity. It represents a major cause of preterm birth, as definitive treatment demands fetal delivery. Although its pathophysiology is complicated, placental hypoxia and endothelial dysfunction constitute established pathogenetic steps of the disease. Inflammation is considered to be a crucial mediator of preeclampsia process, as an imbalance between TH 1, TH 2, and TH 17 immune responses is observed. The present review accumulates current knowledge about the contribution of interleukins in preeclampsia, summarizing the pathways through which each interleukin exerts its function in the disease. Also, the role of genetic polymorphisms is explored and the predictive efficacy of maternal serum interleukin levels is evaluated. Finally, recommendations about the safe interpretation of the outcomes, as well as guidance for future research, are provided.

Abstract
Inflammation is essential for successful embryo implantation, pregnancy maintenance and delivery. In the last decade, important advances have been made in regard to endogenous, and therefore non-infectious, initiators of inflammation, which can act through the same receptors as pathogens. These molecules are referred to as damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), and their involvement in reproduction has only recently been unraveled. Even though inflammation is necessary for successful reproduction, untimely activation of inflammatory processes can have devastating effect on pregnancy outcomes. Many DAMPs, such as uric acid, high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), interleukin (IL)-1 and cell-free fetal DNA, have been associated with pregnancy complications, such as miscarriages, preeclampsia and preterm birth in preclinical models and in humans. However, the specific contribution of alarmins to these conditions is still under debate, as currently there is lack of information on their mechanism of action. In this review, we discuss the role of sterile inflammation in reproduction, including early implantation and pregnancy complications. Particularly, we focus on major alarmins vastly implicated in numerous sterile inflammatory processes, such as uric acid, HMGB1, IL-1α and cell-free DNA (especially that of fetal origin) while giving an overview of the potential role of other candidate alarmins.

Abstract
Excessive maternal inflammatory response is involved in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. Few epidemiologic studies have investigated the associations between genetic variations in the inflammatory mediator genes and preeclampsia risk, and these studies have reached inconsistent results. We examined 31 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in IL-1A, IL-1B, IL-1R1, IL-2RA, IL-5RA, IL-6, IL-6R, TNFSF11, TNFRSF11A, IL-28RA, IRAK4, and KIT genes and the risk of preeclampsia and its clinical subtypes in a nested case-control study including 203 preeclampsia cases and 233 controls. We found that IL-1R1, IL-5RA, IL-6R, and TNFSF11 were associated with the risk of preeclampsia. Although the significant associations observed for preeclampsia overall were mainly seen for late-onset preeclampsia and severe preeclampsia, IL-6R (rs2229238) and TNFSF11 (rs9525643) polymorphisms were associated with the risk of early-onset preeclampsia. TNFSF11 (rs2200287 and rs2148072) polymorphisms were associated with risk of mild preeclampsia. Our study provided the first evidence that genetic variations in inflammatory mediator genes IL-1R1, IL-6R, TNFSF11, and IL-5RA were associated with preeclampsia risk, and the risk varied by preeclampsia subtypes.
