Abstract
Placentation is a key process that is tightly regulated that ensures the normal placenta and fetal development. Preeclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive pregnancy‑associated disorder characterized by increased oxidative stress and inflammation. STAT3 signaling plays a key role in modulating important processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, invasion and apoptosis. The present review aimed to analyse the role of STAT3 signaling in PE pregnancies, discuss the main natural and synthetic compounds involved in modulation of this signaling both in vivo and in vitro and summarize the main cellular modulators of this signaling to identify possible therapeutic targets and treatments to improve the outcome of PE pregnancies.
