This study compared the histopathology and CD15 expression in large for gestational age (LGA) placentas with appropriate for gestational age (AGA) placentas. The results showed that LGA placentas had increased expression of CD15 in villous capillary endothelium and a higher prevalence of fetal vascular malperfusion, delayed villous maturation, and villous chorangiosis. Therefore, LGA placentas have high-risk features compared to AGA placentas.
Background: The histopathology and CD15 expression in large for gestational age (LGA) placentas is not well-documented.Methods: To analyze this, we utilized 2 separate cohorts of placentas from singleton term deliveries. LGA and appropriate for gestational age (AGA) placentas were compared for major histopathologies including acute and chronic inflammation, maternal and fetal vascular malperfusion, delayed villous maturation (DVM), and villous hypervascularity/chorangiosis. We also examined CD15 immunohistochemistry in LGA and AGA placentas. Stained slides were reviewed blinded to the placental weight. Five random 20x fields were scored semi-quantitatively for CD15 staining of villous capillaries on a scale of 0 to 5 (0 = 0%, 1 = 1%-5%, 2 = 5%-25%, 3 = 25%-50%, 4 = 50%-75%, and 5 = >75%).Results: In 1 cohort, 1238 LGA and 7908 AGA placentas were identified. Patients with LGA placentas were significantly more likely to have higher birthweight babies, obesity, hypertensive disorders, pre-gestational, and gestational diabetes. Also, LGA placentas had a higher prevalence of fetal vascular malperfusion, DVM, and villous chorangiosis. In other cohort of 75 LGA placentas and 73 AGA controls, the average score of CD15 staining in villous capillaries was significantly higher amongst LGA placentas.Conclusion: We conclude that LGA placentas have increased expression of CD15 in villous capillary endothelium and higher prevalence of FVM, DVM, and villous chorangiosis than AGA placentas.
