A low dose injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) may induce pre-eclampsia-like symptoms in rats, and microRNA-155 (miR-155) is elevated in the placentas of patients with pre-eclampsia. Our goal was to investigate the association of miR-155 with pre-eclampsia and the pathways involved using human-trophoblast-derived cell line (HTR-8/SVneo) stimulated with LPS.
