Breakdown in the immunoregulatory mechanism as well as dysregulated angiogenesis are critical contributors to the obstetric disorder, Pre-eclampsia [PE]. The pleiotropic cytokine, Transforming Growth Factor-β1 [TGF-β1], with its immunosuppressive and angiogenic functions appears to be a promising candidate for prospective therapies in PE, as gleaned from a survey of candidate gene association and biochemical investigations. The current article endows with a background and gives inkling for the plausible therapeutic strategies for PE employing TGF-β1, given the veracity that proper curative procedures are not yet existent for this disorder.
