Research lines Cellular microparticles study in women with and without antiphospholipid antibodies with recurrent pregnancy loses and preeclampsia. Cellular microparticles (CMP) are released depending on the activation and/or the presence of cell apoptosis. They are capable of activating both inflammatory and coagulation pathways. It seems that levels of CMP are higher in healthy pregnant women. A working hypothesis establishes that an increase of CMP levels may be found in recurrent pregnancy loses and preeclampsia. It is thought that their thrombophilic capacity may be higher in those patients with anti-phospholipid antibodies, especially among those with lupus anticoagulant. We want to determine MPC levels in non-pregnant healthy women, pregnant women without previous abnormal obstetric events, women with recurrent pregnancy loses, and women with severe preeclampsia. We are also evaluating whether there are differences related to the presence or absence of antiphospholipid antibodies. Finally, we will also characterize the exact type of CMP (endothelial, platelet-like, leuco-monocyte, and throphoblastic). IP: Jaume Alijotas Reig Pathogenic role of cellular microparticles and anti-phospholipid/anti-cofactor antibodies in recurrent implantation failures related to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). The prevalence of failed IVF is high or very high. Besides problems intrinsic to the technique, we know almost nothing about the possible underlying causes. Anti-phospholipid/anti-cofactor (aPL/aCF) antibodies have been associated to several obstetric complications. Nevertheless, the role that these aPL/aCF antibodies may have in failed IVF is not well defined. With this randomized study we want to understand better the use that these antibodies may have on a clinical daily basis. Along with the microparticles analysis, we could end up by finding several elements that might act as risk markers; in turn, it might even help us to fine-tune the currently used therapeutic approaches.
