#### Abstract

Hypoxia has been implicated in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia, a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. However, in vivo evidence and mechanistic understanding remain elusive. Preeclampsia is associated with impaired placental angiogenesis. We have recently shown that interleukin (IL)-10 can support trophoblast-driven endovascular crosstalk. Accordingly, we hypothesize that pathological levels of oxygen coupled with IL-10 deficiency induce severe preeclampsia-like features coupled with elevated production of antiangiogenic factors, apoptotic pathways, and placental injury. Exposure of pregnant wild-type and IL-10/ mice to 9.5% oxygen resulted in graded placental injury and systemic symptoms of renal pathology, proteinuria (wild-type 645.15115.73 versus 198.0993.45; IL-10/ 819.31127.85 versus 221.4582.73 g/mg/24 hours) and hypertension (wild-type 118.3714.45 versus 78.6714.07; IL-10/ 136.0322.59 versus 83.9718.25 mm Hg). Recombinant IL-10 reversed hypoxia induced features in pregnant IL-10/ mice confirming the protective role of IL-10 in preeclampsia. Hypoxic exposure caused marked elevation of soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (110.820.1 versus 44.711.9 ng/mL) in IL 10/ mice compared with their wild-type counterparts (81.613.1 versus 41.28.9 ng/mL), whereas soluble endoglin was induced to similar levels in both strains (approximately 38050 versus 18031 ng/mL). Hypoxia-induced elevation of p53 was associated with marked induction of proapoptotic protein Bax, downregulation of Bcl-2, and trophoblast-specific apoptosis in utero-placental tissue. Collectively, we conclude that severe preeclampsia pathology could be triggered under certain threshold oxygen levels coupled with intrinsic IL-10 deficiency, which lead to excessive activation of antiangiogenic and apoptotic pathways.
