Interleukin-11 alters placentation and causes preeclampsia features in mice.
Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy-specific disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria after 20 wk gestation. Abnormal extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion and remodeling of uterine spiral arterioles is thought to contribute to PE development. Interleukin-11 (IL11) impedes human EVT invasion in vitro and is elevated in PE decidua in women. We demonstrate that IL11 administered to m...
متن کاملAbnormal placentation and the syndrome of preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia, particularly the severe cases that occur early in pregnancy, is associated with defects in the (placental) cytotrophoblast differentiation pathway that leads to uterine invasion. At a morphologic level, interstitial invasion often is shallow. Perhaps more significantly, endovascular invasion, particularly the arterial component, is rudimentary. The latter defect is thought to lead...
متن کاملPregnancy/Preeclampsia Interleukin 10 Deficiency Exacerbates Toll-Like Receptor 3–Induced Preeclampsia-Like Symptoms in Mice
Preeclampsia may result from overactivation of the maternal immune system and is characterized by endothelial dysfunction and excessive inflammation. Given the importance of maternal immune system regulation and antiinflammatory cytokines in normotensive pregnancies, we hypothesized that maternal immune system activation via Toll-like receptor 3 during pregnancy would cause preeclampsia-like sy...
متن کاملFebrile Convulsions in Children: Demographic Features, Causes and Seasonal Pattern
Background and Objectives: Febrile convulsion (FC) is the most common seizure disorder in childhood period. Some studies have suggested association between seasons and occurrence of FC. This study was designed to determine demographic features, causes and seasonal variations in cases with FC. Method: In this descriptive, cross sectional study, 282 children 6- 60 months with FC were admitted to ...
متن کاملCombined interleukin-6 and interleukin-1 deficiency causes obesity in young mice.
Proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 exert pleiotropic effects on the neuro-immuno-endocrine system. Previously, we showed that IL-1 receptor antagonist-deficient (IL-1Ra(-/-)) mice show a lean phenotype due to an abnormal lipid metabolism. On the contrary, it was reported that IL-6(-/-) mice exhibit obesity after 6 months of age. This study sought to assess the roles...
