Expression levels of ADAMTS 5, 9, and 12 in endometrial polyps and their predictive value for the diagnosis and recurrence of endometrial polyps. Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2024; 295:86-91. [PMID: 38340595 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/25/2023] [Revised: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 02/04/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE Endometrial polyps (EPs) are common gynecological disorders for which no clear etiology has been found. ADAMTS have been associated with a variety of diseases. This study aimed to investigate the potential correlation between serologic levels of ADAMTS 5, 9, and 12 in patients with EPs. METHODS A total of 88 patients were categorized into two groups: the EPs group, consisting of recurrent EPs and first occurrence EPs, and a control group. The study compared the general information and serum levels of ADAMTS 5, 9, and 12 between the groups. RESULTS Regarding the general data, a statistically significant age difference (p < 0.05) was observed, while no significant differences were found in the other variables. After considering age as a confounding factor, the previously observed statistical significance in the differences of ADAMTS5 and 9 between the groups diminished. However, it was found that the concentrations of ADAMTS12 in both the EPs group and the recurrent EPs group were significantly higher compared to the control group and the first occurrence EPs group (p < 0.05). ROC curves were generated to determine the critical values of ADAMTS12 for predicting EPs and recurrent EPs, which were found to be 0.6962 ng/ml (sensitivity: 100 %, specificity: 39.5 %) and 0.8768 ng/ml (sensitivity: 75.0 %, specificity: 76.3 %), respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings revealed elevated serologic levels of ADAMTS12 in the EPs group, particularly in the recurrent EPs group. Furthermore, ADAMTS-12 was identified as a valuable biomarker for assisting in the diagnosis and prediction of EPs recurrence.

Expression of placental growth factor and a disintegrin and metalloprotease with a thrombospondin type motifs 1-4-8 during the three trimesters of rat pregnancy at the maternal-fetal interface. Anat Histol Embryol 2023; 52:805-814.

Abstract
The functional roles of the a disintegrin and metalloprotease with a thrombospondin type motifs (ADAMTS) gene family in reproductive physiology, reproductive organs developments and adult reproductive health are still under investigation. The expression of the anti-angiogenic proteases ADAMTS-1, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-8 in placental angiogenesis at various stages of pregnancy also remains unclear. The purpose of this study was therefore to determine the localization and expression of the ADAMTS-1, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-8 proteins during the three stages of pregnancy in rats. Maternal-fetal tissue samples were collected on Days 5, 12 and 19 of each trimester, corresponding to the first, second and third trimesters. The expression of placental growth factor (PlGF) and ADAMTS-1, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-8 at the maternal-fetal interface was examined using immunohistochemistry and western blot at three distinct phases of pregnancy. ADAMTS-1, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-8 were detected in all three trimesters of pregnancy. The relative amount of PIGF increased in the first trimester and decreased significantly in the third trimester (p < 0.05). The expression of ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-4 was significantly higher in the second (p < 0.05) and third trimesters (p < 0.01) compared to the first trimester. However, no statistically significant change was observed in ADAMTS-8 expression between trimesters. The ADAMTS exhibiting the highest expression during the first trimester was ADAMTS8. These findings indicate that the expression of ADAMTS-1, ADAMTS-4 and ADAMTS-8 in the three different stages of rat pregnancy may be involved in the modulation of decidualization, morphogenesis and angiogenesis. Periodic changes in ADAMTS expression are thought to be regulated by gonadal steroids.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We investigated a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif-12 (ADAMTS-12) levels in both fetal umbilical cord and maternal blood of pairs diagnosed with placenta accreta spectrum (PAS). METHOD We analyzed ADAMTS-12 level by ELISA in 160 samples that included 30 control pairs (30 maternal and 30 umbilical cord serums), 20 pairs in the placenta previa (PP), and 30 pairs in the PAS group (30 maternal and 30 umbilical cord serums). RESULTS There were increased serum levels of ADAMTS-12 in maternal serum (p = 0.037) and umbilical cord serum level (p = 0.004) of PAS group compared with the PP and healthy control groups. There was a positive correlation between maternal ADAMTS-12 and fetal ADAMTS-12 serum levels (r = 0.53, p = 0.002). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that ADAMTS-12 could be a -diagnostic biomarker for PAS.

Abstract
Many reproductive physiological processes, such as folliculogenesis, ovulation, implantation, and fertilization, require the synthesis, remodeling, and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ADAMTS (A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motifs) family genes code for key metalloproteinases in the remodeling process of different ECM. Several genes of this family encode for proteins with important functions in reproductive processes; in particular, ADAMTS1, 4, 5 and 9 are genes that are differentially expressed in cell types and the physiological stages of reproductive tissues. ADAMTS enzymes degrade proteoglycans in the ECM of the follicles so that the oocytes can be released and regulate follicle development during folliculogenesis, favoring the action of essential growth factors, such as FGF-2, FGF-7 and GDF-9. The transcriptional regulation of ADAMTS1 and 9 in preovulatory follicles occurs because of the gonadotropin surge in preovulatory follicles, via the progesterone/progesterone receptor complex. In addition, in the case of ADAMTS1, pathways involving protein kinase A (PKA), extracellular signal regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) might contribute to ECM regulation. Different Omic studies indicate the importance of genes of the ADAMTS family from a reproductive aspect. ADAMTS genes could serve as biomarkers for genetic improvement and contribute to enhance fertility and animal reproduction; however, more research related to these genes, the synthesis of proteins encoded by these genes, and regulation in farm animals is needed.

Abstract
Preeclampsia (PE) constitutes one of the principal reasons for maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The circumstance typically implicates formerly healthful normotensive women, after 20 weeks of gestation, typically withinside the third trimester, without regarded threat elements or past deliveries. PE can be further complicated with hemolysis and thrombocytopenia, leading to the emergence of HELLP syndrome (Hemolysis, Elevated Liver enzymes, Low platelets). Both conditions are classified as hypertensive diseases of pregnancy (HDP), and their pathogenesis has been linked to an excessive maternal inflammatory response, accompanied by enhanced endothelial activation. Several studies have found that in pregnancies affected by PE/HELLP, von Willebrand factor (vWF) antigen levels (vWF:Ag) are significantly elevated, while its cleaving protease (ADAMTS-13, A Disintegrin-like and Metalloprotease with Thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) activity is normal to decreased. Furthermore, the higher urine excretion of the terminal complement complex C5b-9, as well as its greater deposition in the placental surface in preeclamptic women, imply that the utero-placental unit’s distinctive deficits are intimately tied to disproportionate complement activation. The goal of this updated evaluation is to provide the most up-to-date molecular advances in the pathophysiology of PE/HELLP syndromes. Recent medical data on vWF:Ag levels in patients with PE, ADAMTS-13, and dysregulation of the complement system, are highlighted and evaluated. Furthermore, we discuss the relationship between those entities and the progression of the disease, as well as their significance in the diagnostic process. Finally, considering the difficulties in analyzing and controlling those symptoms in pregnant women, we can provide a current diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs 4 (ADAMTS-4) and ADAMTS-5 normal expression levels are essential for ovulation and subsequent fertilization. The objective of the present study was to assess expression pattern of these genes in cumulus cells (CCs) taken from patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and to investigate any possible relationship with the oocyte quality. METHODS ADAMTS-4 and -5 expression levels within CCs containing oocytes at the metaphase II (MII) and germinal vesicle (GV) stages, taken from 35 patients with PCOS and 35 women with normal ovarian function, were investigated using RT-qPCR. Moreover, possible correlations between ADAMTS-4, ADAMTS-5, and progesterone receptors (PRs) expression as well as oocyte quality were evaluated. RESULTS ADAMTS-4 and -5 expression levels were dramatically diminished in the CCs of the PCOS patients when compared to the controls. ADAMTS-4 and -5 expression levels were correlated with each other and with the oocyte quality. Furthermore, lower expression levels of ADAMTS-4 and -5 in the PCOS patients were strongly correlated with the diminished PRs expression levels. CONCLUSION Downregulation of ADAMTS-4 and -5 in the human CCs of the PCOS patients correlated with the decline in the PRs expression, and impaired oocyte quality may cause lower oocyte recovery, maturation, and fertilization rate.

Abstract
ADAMTSs (A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs) are a family of 19 secreted zinc metalloproteinases that play a major role in the assembly and degradation of the extracellular matrix (ECM) during development, morphogenesis, tissue repair, and remodeling. ADAMTS18 is a poorly characterized member of the ADAMTS family. Previously, ADAMTS18 was found to participate in the development of female reproductive tract in mice. However, whether ADAMTS18 also plays a role in the development of male reproductive system remains unclear. In this study, Adamts18 mRNA was found to be highly expressed in the basal cells of the developing preputial gland. Male Adamts18 knockout (Adamts18-/-) mice exhibit abnormal preputial gland morphogenesis, including reduced size and sharp outline. Histological analyses of preputial gland from 2-week-old male Adamts18-/- mice showed significant atrophy of the whole gland. Preputial glands from 7 months and older Adamts18-/- mice appeared macroscopic swelling on their surface. Histologically, preputial gland swelling is characterized by tissue fibrosis and thicker keratinized squamous cell layer. Preputial gland lesions in age-matched male Adamts18+/+ mice were barely detected. ADAMTS18 deficiency does not lead to significant changes in morphogenesis of prostate and testis in male mice. These results indicate that ADAMTS18 is required for normal morphogenesis and homeostasis of the preputial gland in male mice.

Extracellular Matrix Mimicking Nanofibrous Scaffolds Modified With Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles for Improved Vascularization. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2020; 8:633.

Abstract
The network structure and biological components of natural extracellular matrix (ECM) are indispensable for promoting tissue regeneration. Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds have been widely used in regenerative medicine to provide structural support for cell growth and tissue regeneration due to their natural ECM mimicking architecture, however, they lack biological functions. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are potent vehicles of intercellular communication due to their ability to transfer RNAs, proteins, and lipids, thereby mediating significant biological functions in different biological systems. Matrix-bound nanovesicles (MBVs) are identified as an integral and functional component of ECM bioscaffolds mediating significant regenerative functions. Therefore, to engineer EVs modified electrospun scaffolds, mimicking the structure of the natural EV-ECM complex and the physiological interactions between the ECM and EVs, will be attractive and promising in tissue regeneration. Previously, using one-bead one-compound (OBOC) combinatorial technology, we identified LLP2A, an integrin α4β1 ligand, which had a strong binding to human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PMSCs). In this study, we isolated PMSCs derived EVs (PMSC-EVs) and demonstrated they expressed integrin α4β1 and could improve endothelial cell (EC) migration and vascular sprouting in an ex vivo rat aortic ring assay. LLP2A treated culture surface significantly improved PMSC-EV attachment, and the PMSC-EV treated culture surface significantly enhanced the expression of angiogenic genes and suppressed apoptotic activity. We then developed an approach to enable "Click chemistry" to immobilize LLP2A onto the surface of electrospun scaffolds as a linker to immobilize PMSC-EVs onto the scaffold. The PMSC-EV modified electrospun scaffolds significantly promoted EC survival and angiogenic gene expression, such as KDR and TIE2, and suppressed the expression of apoptotic markers, such as caspase 9 and caspase 3. Thus, PMSC-EVs hold promising potential to functionalize biomaterial constructs and improve the vascularization and regenerative potential. The EVs modified biomaterial scaffolds can be widely used for different tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
AIM To test the hypothesis that altered A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase Domains with Thrombospondins motifs (ADAMTS) is implicated in the etiopathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). METHODS All pregnant women who underwent elective amniocentesis for karyotype analysis between January 1, 2016, and January 1, 2018, were included in this study. From this cohort, the study group consisting of 20 patients diagnosed with GDM was selected and compared against a control group consisting of 20 age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched patients without GDM. ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5, interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) levels were compared in the second trimester amniotic fluid of patients with GDM and normoglycemic pregnant women. RESULTS No significant differences were observed between GDM and control groups regarding age, BMI, gestational age at amniocentesis and indication for amniocentesis. Mean amniotic fluid ADAMTS4 and ADAMTS5 levels were significantly increased in the GDM group compared with the control group (253.5 ± 18.7 pg/mL and 188.5 ± 21.3 pg/mL, P < 0.001; 192.9 ± 16.4 pg/mL and 154.8 ± 19.9 pg/mL, P = 0.021, respectively). Significant increases in IL-6 and TNF-α levels were also detected in the amniotic fluid of GDM patients relative to controls (136.2 ± 17.3 pg/mL and 98.3 ± 11.5 pg/mL, P < 0.001; 154.2 ± 12.5 pg/mL and 86.2 ± 10.8 pg/mL, P < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSION The data presented here suggest that increased levels of ADAMTS4, ADAMTS5, IL-6 and TNF-α may play an important role in the progression of GDM.

Abstract
PURPOSE ADAMTS-1 and 9 play a crucial role in the ovulation and their altered levels may play a role in the pathogenesis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The aim of this study was to assess ADAMTS-1 and 9 expression and their correlation with the oocyte quality and maturity in the cumulus cells (CCs) of PCOS patients and normovulatory women during an IVF procedure. METHODS Expression of ADAMTS-1 and 9 and progesterone receptors (PRs) in the CCs containing MII and germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes of 37 PCOS patients and 37 women with normal ovulatory function who underwent IVF treatment was evaluated using qRT-PCR. Moreover, correlation between ADAMTS-1 and 9 expression and oocyte quality were also investigated. RESULTS mRNA expression levels of ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-9 were significantly reduced in the women with PCOS compared to the normovulatory women. ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-9 mRNA expression levels in the CCs showed a considerable correlation. Lower expression levels of ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-9 in PCOS patients were strongly correlated with diminished oocyte maturation. There was a remarkable association between ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-9 mRNA expression levels and oocyte quality. PRs (PRA and PRB) were dramatically decreased in PCOS patients when compared with the control group. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study indicated that ADAMTS-1 and ADAMTS-9 as well as PRs are downregulated in the human CCs in PCOS patients, which could be associated with impaired oocyte maturation and may result in a lower oocyte recovery and oocyte maturity rates, as well as lower fertilization rate.

Am J Obstet Gynecol 2018; 218:345.e1-345.e30. [PMID: 29305255 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajog.2017.12.234] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2017] [Revised: 12/07/2017] [Accepted: 12/27/2017] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Preterm birth is the leading cause of newborn death worldwide, and is associated with significant cognitive and physiological challenges in later life. There is a pressing need to define the mechanisms that initiate spontaneous preterm labor, and for development of novel clinical biomarkers to identify high-risk pregnancies. Most preterm birth studies utilize fetal tissues, and there is limited understanding of the transcriptional changes that occur in mothers undergoing spontaneous preterm labor. Earlier work revealed that a specific population of maternal peripheral leukocytes (macrophages/monocytes) play an active role in the initiation of labor. Thus, we hypothesized that there are dynamic gene expression changes in maternal blood leukocytes during preterm labor. OBJECTIVE Using next-generation sequencing we aim to characterize the transcriptome in whole blood leukocytes and peripheral monocytes of women undergoing spontaneous preterm labor compared to healthy pregnant women who subsequently delivered at full term. STUDY DESIGN RNA sequencing was performed in both whole blood and peripheral monocytes from women who underwent preterm labor (24-34 weeks of gestation, N = 20) matched for gestational age to healthy pregnant controls (N = 30). All participants were a part of the Ontario Birth Study cohort (Toronto, Ontario, Canada). RESULTS We identified significant differences in expression of 262 genes in peripheral monocytes and 184 genes in whole blood of women who were in active spontaneous preterm labor compared to pregnant women of the same gestational age not undergoing labor, with 43 of these genes differentially expressed in both whole blood and peripheral monocytes. ADAMTS2 expression was significantly increased in women actively undergoing spontaneous preterm labor, which we validated through digital droplet reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. Intriguingly, we have also identified a number of gene sets including signaling by stem cell factor-KIT, nucleotide metabolism, and trans-Golgi network vesicle budding, which exhibited changes in relative gene expression that was predictive of preterm labor status in both maternal whole blood and peripheral monocytes. CONCLUSION This study is the first to investigate changes in both whole blood leukocytes and peripheral monocytes of women actively undergoing spontaneous preterm labor through robust transcript measurements from RNA sequencing. Our unique study design overcame confounding based on gestational age by collecting blood samples from women matched by gestational age, allowing us to study transcriptomic changes directly related to the active preterm parturition. We performed RNA profiling using whole genome sequencing, which is highly sensitive and allowed us to identify subtle changes in specific genes. ADAMTS2 expression emerged as a marker of prematurity within peripheral blood leukocytes, an accessible tissue that plays a functional role in signaling during the onset of labor. We identified changes in relative gene expression in a number of gene sets related to signaling in monocytes and whole blood of women undergoing spontaneous preterm labor compared to controls. These genes and pathways may help identify potential targets for the development of novel drugs for preterm birth prevention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders among women of reproductive age. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin-like motifs (ADAMTS) are involved in inflammation and fertility. The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the serum levels of ADAMTS1, ADAMTS5, ADAMTS9, IL-17, IL-23, IL-33 and to find out the relationship between these inflammatory cytokines and ADAMTSs in PCOS patients. METHODS A case-control study was performed in a training and research hospital. Eighty patients with PCOS and seventy-eight healthy female volunteers were recruited in the present study. Serum ADAMTS and IL levels were determined by a human enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA) in all subjects. RESULTS The IL-17A, IL-23 and IL-33 levels were significantly higher in the PCOS patients compared to the controls (p < 0.05). We could not find significant difference between the groups in terms of ADAMTS1, ADAMTS5 and ADAMTS9 levels. IL-17A had positive correlations with LDL cholesterol and IL-33 and negative correlations with ADAMTS1, ADAMTS5, and ADAMTS9. IL-33 had positive correlation with LDL cholesterol and IL-17A. In ROC curve analysis, PCOS can be predicted by the use of IL-17A, IL-23 and IL-33 which at a cut-off value of 8.37 pg/mL (44 % sensitivity, 83 % specificity), 26.75 pg/mL (36 % sensitivity, 64 % specificity) and 14.28 pg/mL (83 % sensitivity, 39 % specificity), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results of the study might suggest that ADAMTS and IL molecules have a role in the pathogenesis of the PCOS. Further efforts are needed to establish causality for ADAMTS-IL axis.

Abstract
Preeclampsia is a complex disease that increases both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality in both developed and developing countries. It complicates around 5-10% of all pregnancies..The pathophysiology of preeclampsia includes both maternal and fetal/placental factors. Implantation of embryo and placentation are crucial steps for development of pregnancy involving trophoblast invasion. Abnormalities of spiral artery invasion, trophoblast function, inflammatory process, and biologic functions of angiogenic/anti-angiogenic factors early in pregnancy result in pregnancy diseases, including preeclampsia. ADAMTS genes are members of the family of matrix metalloproteinase, which have important tasks in extracellular matrix (ECM) degradation and repair processes. The roles of ADAMTS in preeclampsia may include regulation of spiral artery invasion and ECM arrangement of the placenta.

Abstract
PROBLEM The chronic placental insufficiency is the most common cause of intrauterine hypoxia, retardation of fetal growth, and other threatening conditions. Immune disturbances may occur in the system "mother-placenta-fetus." METHOD OF STUDY Biochemical blood indicators were studied on an automated biochemical analyzer. Pattern of lymphocyte subpopulations was detected by direct membrane immunofluorescence. RESULTS Study revealed imbalance of immune parameters, caused by placental insufficiency (increase natural killers (CD16(+) , CD56(+) ), B lymphocytes (CD19(+) CD3(-) ), T and B lymphocytes with HLA-DR(+) antigen, and early activation of immune cells (by CD25(+) ), as well as disorders in apoptotic mechanisms (by CD95(+) )). CONCLUSION Placental insufficiency leads to abnormalities of the immune system in pregnant, parturient women and maternity patients which were evaluated by localization of activation markers CD25(+) CD95(+) on the CD3(+) , CD4(+) , CD8(+) , CD16(+) , CD56(+) lymphocytes. This is reflected in the change of lymphocyte functions in newborns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is characterized with insulin resistance which is diagnosed during pregnancy. Although pregnancy is a diabetogenic state, not all women develop GDM. Genetic factors together with enviromental factors cause the maladaptation of maternal pancreas to this diabetogenic state and GDM develops. ADAMTS-9 is a recently recognized molecule whose genetic variants have risk of GDM. Decreased levels have already been shown in fetal membranes. Maternal serum levels of this protein have not been studied yet. We hypothesized that the alteration of ADAMTS-9 expression should cause changes in maternal serum levels which further could help to identify the disease and develop new treatment strategies. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective case-control study is consisted of 27 pregnancies with GDM and 30 healthy singleton pregnancies matched for matenal age, gestational week, and maternal weight. GDM diagnosis was made with 2-h 75 g oral glucose tolerance test. ADAMTS-9 levels were compared between groups. RESULTS ADAMTS levels were 3.62 ± 0.33 ng/dL (range: 3.04-4.23) in GDM group and 4.65 ± 1.70 ng/dL (range: 3.07-8.21) in control group (p < 0.001). ADAMTS levels were not affected by maternal age, gestational age, and maternal weight. CONCLUSION ADAMTS-9 levels were significantly lower in GDM pregnancies. This may help to understand the mechanism of GDM pathogenesis. In future, target treatments with ADAMTS proteins may help to improve the severity of diabetes pathogenesis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pre-eclampsia is the result of impaired trophoblast invasion and spiral artery remodeling managed by inflammatory response in its etiology and physiopathology. The aim of this study was to compare serum molecules including IL-33, ADAMTS12, ADAMTS16 and ADAMTS18 levels between pre-eclampsia and control groups and to investigate the role of these molecules in pre-eclampsia. METHODS Forty-one women diagnosed as pre-eclampsia between 30 and 40 weeks of gestation and 41 non-complicated pregnant women were enrolled in this cross-sectional, case-control prospective study. ELISA method was used to determine IL-33, ADAMTS12, ADAMTS16 and ADAMTS18 levels within serums in two groups. RESULTS Serum ADAMTS12 and IL-33 levels were significantly lower in pre-eclampsia group (p < 0.001 and p: 0.028, respectively), however, in sub-group analysis, no significant difference was observed (p > 0.05). The cut-off value of ADAMTS12 levels to discriminate pre-eclampsia with %73.17 sensitivity and %92.68 specificity was 8.27 ng/ml while the cut-off value for IL-33 was 0.23 pg/ml with 82.93% sensitivity and 53.66% specificity. CONCLUSION Pre-eclampsia is associated with lower serum IL-33 and ADAMTS12 levels.

Abstract
Chondrosarcoma is one of the most common bone tumors, and at present, there is no non-invasive treatment option for this cancer. The chondrosarcoma OUMS-27 cell line produces proteoglycan and type II, IX, and XI collagens, which constitutes cartilage tissue. A disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin motifs (ADAMTS) proteases are a group of secreted proteases, which include the procollagen N-proteinases ADAMTS-2, -3 and -14. These procollagen N-proteinases perform a role in the processing of procollagens to collagen and the maturation of type I collagen. The present study aimed to improve the understanding of the causes of metastasis, local invasion and resistance to chemo- and radiotherapy in chondrosarcoma, as well as the effect of insulin on cancer cells. The present study was designed to reveal the effects of insulin on procollagen N-proteinases in chondrosarcoma OUMS-27 cells. The cells were cultured in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM) alone or in DMEM containing 10 µg/ml insulin. The medium was changed every other day for 11 days. The cells were harvested on days 1, 3, 7 and 11, and total RNA isolation was performed immediately following harvesting. The expression levels of ADAMTS2, ADAMTS3 and ADAMTS14 mRNA were estimated by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction using appropriate primers. ADAMTS2 mRNA expression was found to be decreased on day 7 (P=0.028) and increased at day 11 compared with the control group (P=0.016). The increase in mRNA concentration at day 11 was significantly different compared to the concentrations on days 3 (P=0.047) and 7 (P=0.008). The expression of ADAMTS3 mRNA decreased immediately subsequent to insulin induction on day 1 compared with the control group (P=0.008). The most evident decrease in mRNA concentration was seen at day 7 subsequent to insulin induction (P=0.008). The present results demonstrated that ADAMTS2 and ADAMTS3 may perform a role in the invasion and metastasis of tumors, and may also possess proteolytic activity that results in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Insulin itself can modulate the biosynthesis of ECM macromolecules that are altered in diabetes through various pathways.
