Preeclampsia (PE) is an obstetric disorder with significant risks to both maternal and fetal health, characterized by hypertension and multi-organ dysfunction. Central to its pathogenesis is the impaired differentiation and function of trophoblast cells, leading to abnormal placental development and defective uterine vascular remodeling. This dysfunctional placentation triggers a cascade of oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, and immune dysregulation, collectively exacerbating disease severity. The trophoblast regulates maternal-fetal interactions through complex and tightly controlled gene expression networks, in which non-coding RNAs such as microRNAs (miRNAs) and circular RNAs (circRNAs) play essential regulatory roles. Here, we summarize current findings on transcriptomic alterations associated with trophoblast anomalies in PE and discuss their potential translational applications. Understanding these molecular mechanisms may enhance early diagnosis, improve clinical outcomes, and pave the way for precision medicine and individualized therapeutic strategies in PE.
