OBJECTIVE: The identification of fetal growth disorders is an important clinical priority given that they increase the risk of perinatal morbidity and mortality as well as long-term diseases. A subset of small-for-gestational-age (SGA) infants are growth-restricted, and this condition is often attributed to placental insufficiency. Syndecan-1, a product of the degradation of the endothelial glycocalyx, has been proposed as a biomarker of endothelial damage in different pathologies. During pregnancy, a "specialized" form of the glycocalyx-the "syncytiotrophoblast glycocalyx"-covers the placental villi. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the concentration of maternal plasma syndecan-1 can be proposed as a biomarker for fetal growth restriction.
STUDY DESIGN: A cross-sectional study was designed to include women with normal pregnancy (n = 130) and pregnant women who delivered an SGA neonate (n = 50). Doppler velocimetry of the uterine and umbilical arteries was performed in women with an SGA fetus at the time of diagnosis. Venipuncture was performed within 48 h of Doppler velocimetry and plasma concentrations of syndecan-1 were determined by a specific and sensitive immunoassay.
RESULTS: (1) Plasma syndecan-1 concentration followed a nonlinear increase with gestational age in uncomplicated pregnancies (R2 = 0.27, p < .001); (2) women with a pregnancy complicated with an SGA fetus had a significantly lower mean plasma concentration of syndecan-1 than those with an appropriate-for-gestational-age fetus (p = .0001); (3) this difference can be attributed to fetal growth restriction, as the mean plasma syndecan-1 concentration was significantly lower only in the group of women with an SGA fetus who had abnormal umbilical and uterine artery Doppler velocimetry compared to controls (p = .00071; adjusted p = .0028). A trend toward lower syndecan-1 concentrations was also noted for SGA with abnormal uterine but normal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry (p = .0505; adjusted p = .067); 4) among women with an SGA fetus, those with abnormal umbilical and uterine artery Doppler findings had a lower mean plasma syndecan-1 concentration than women with normal Doppler velocimetry (p = .02; adjusted p = .04); 5) an inverse relationship was found between the maternal plasma syndecan-1 concentration and the umbilical artery pulsatility index (r = -0.5; p = .003); and 6) a plasma syndecan-1 concentration ≤ 850 ng/mL had a positive likelihood ratio of 4.4 and a negative likelihood ratio of 0.24 for the identification of a mother with an SGA fetus who had abnormal umbilical artery Doppler velocimetry (area under the ROC curve 0.83; p < .001).
CONCLUSION: Low maternal plasma syndecan-1 may reflect placental diseases and this protein could be a biomarker for fetal growth restriction. However, as a sole biomarker for this condition, its accuracy is low.
