Advancing the detection of maternal haematopoietic microchimeric cells in fetal immune organs in mice by flow cytometry
Maternal microchimerism, which occurs naturally during gestation in hemochorial placental mammals upon transplacental migration of maternal cells into the fetus, is suggested to significantly influence the fetal immune system. In our previous publication, we explored the sensitivity of quantitative polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry to detect cellular microchimerism. With that purpose...
متن کاملMulti-lineage potential of fetal cells in maternal tissue: a legacy in reverse.
Fetal cells circulate in pregnant women and persist in blood and tissue for decades post-partum. The mother thus becomes chimeric. Factors that may influence such fetal cell microchimerism include histocompatibility, fetal or placental abnormalities, or a reproductive history that includes miscarriage or elective termination. Fetal cell microchimerism is associated with some maternal autoimmune...
متن کاملCutting edge: persistent fetal microchimerism in T lymphocytes is associated with HLA-DQA1*0501: implications in autoimmunity.
The host's MHC genotype plays a critical role in susceptibility to autoimmune diseases. We previously proposed that persistent fetal microchimerism from pregnancy contributes to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases such as scleroderma. In the current study, we investigated whether the specific host MHC genotype is associated with persistent microchimerism among T lymphocytes in women with sc...
متن کاملFetal microchimerism and maternal health: A review and evolutionary analysis of cooperation and conflict beyond the womb
The presence of fetal cells has been associated with both positive and negative effects on maternal health. These paradoxical effects may be due to the fact that maternal and offspring fitness interests are aligned in certain domains and conflicting in others, which may have led to the evolution of fetal microchimeric phenotypes that can manipulate maternal tissues. We use cooperation and confl...
متن کاملCellular fetal microchimerism in preeclampsia.
Previous studies have shown elevated concentrations of free fetal DNA and erythroblasts in maternal circulation in women with preeclampsia compared with those with normal pregnancy. Pluripotent and immunocompetent fetal cells also transfer to the maternal circulation during pregnancy, but whether concentrations of fetal mononuclear cells also differed in preeclampsia was unknown. We sought to q...
