The authors speculated that the IL-6 stimulates sFlt-1 and sEng production by trophoblast cells in an autocrine manner by JAK-STAT signaling, and that increased IL-6 contributes to antibody-mediated hypertension in women with PE via IL-6-induced stimulation of sFlt-1 production by trophoblasts [44]. The gene discussed is SOAT1; the disease is Hypertension.
