Decidual Neutrophil Infiltration Is Not Required for Preterm Birth in a Mouse Model of Infection-Induced Preterm Labor
Parturition is associated with a leukocyte influx into the intrauterine tissues; however, the exact role these leukocytes play in the onset of labor remains unclear. Neutrophil infiltration of the uteroplacental tissues has been particularly associated with infection-associated preterm labor (PTL) in both women and mouse models. In this study, we investigated the role of neutrophils in a mouse ...
متن کاملImmune cells and preterm labour: do invariant NKT cells hold the key?
Whilst there is now considerable evidence that labour, both at term and preterm, is an inflammatory event associated with an immune cell influx into theutero-placental tissues (Thomson et al., 1999;Young et al., 2002; Osman et al., 2003; Gomez-Lopez et al., 2010; Rinaldi et al., 2011; Hamilton et al., 2012), the precise role that these immune cells play in the initiation of labour, either in th...
متن کاملDecidual cell expressed tissue factor promotes endometrial hemostasis while mediating abruption associated preterm birth
During human pregnancy, progesterone induced decidual cells protect against hemorrhage: 1) as endovascular trophoblast breech and remodel uterine blood vessels; and 2) in the third stage of labor following preterm and term delivery. Decidual cells promote hemostasis through enhanced expression of tissue factor (TF), the primary initiator of hemostasis via thrombin generation, and plasminogen ac...
متن کاملInhibition of infection-mediated preterm birth by administration of broad spectrum chemokine inhibitor in mice
Preterm birth (PTB) is the single most important cause of perinatal and infant mortality worldwide. Maternal infection can result in PTB. We investigated the ability of a Broad Spectrum Chemokine Inhibitor (BSCI) to prevent infection-induced PTB in mice. PTB was initiated in pregnant mice by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 50 μg). Half the mice received BSCI (10 mg/kg) 24 ...
متن کاملP-179: The Role of Fetal Sex on Preterm Labor
Background: Preterm labor is a major problem in obstetric practice. Rates of preterm birth vary between different populations and ethnic groups. In maternal fetal medicine, gender differences in outcome are often observed. Epidemiologic studies have suggested that the incidence of preterm birth is also higher in pregnancies carrying a male fetus. The purpose of this article is to review the evi...
