Plausible model in which hypoxia/oxidative stress in the placenta activates a disintegrin and metalloproteinase-17 (ADAM17), leading to the shedding and activation of TNF-α and the subsequent increased expression/activity of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-7 and likely other MMPs that impair vascular remodeling and promote preeclampsia.
