Objective. To study the relationship between levels of soluble (80-kd) and transmembrane (120-kd) forms of E-сadherin in placentas from pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction. Materials and methods. The study was done on 38 placentas: 18 from pregnancies with intrauterine growth restriction (main group) and 20 from normal pregnancies (control group). Levels of soluble and transmembrane E-сadherin in placentas were determined by Western blotting. Measurement of E-сadherin gene expression were made by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results. In the group with intrauterine growth restriction the level of the transmembrane form of E-cadherin was reduced by 2.5 times, and the soluble form by 4.8 times (p <0.05). Their ratio was of 1.6 in the group with intrauterine growth restriction,and of – 0.8 in control group (in both cases p <0.05). The level of expression of the E-cadherin gene CDH1 in the placentas from pregnancies with fetal growth restriction was reduced by 1.3 times as compared to the control group (p> 0.05). Conclusion. The low level of soluble E-cadherin in the placenta leads to a decrease in proliferation and mobility of trophoblast cells, which may be the cause of placental insufficiency and, as a consequence, intrauterine growth restriction
