Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), adenosine and tissue renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) promote angiogenesis and vascularisation. We investigated the temporal expression placental adenosine A2AR receptor and HIF-1α in early pregnancy and at delivery in normotensive (NT) and pre-eclamptic (PE) women. Results were compared to our previously reported angiotensin receptor data. Expression of A2AR and HIF-1α was highest at ≤10 weeks, positively correlated through pregnancy and was higher in PE than NT at delivery. The A2AR associated with the AT4R only in early pregnancy. We suggest adenosine and RAS may interact to promote placentation with a potential adaptation to poor placental perfusion in PE.
