Progesterone Elicits an Inhibitory Effect upon LPS-Induced Innate Immune Response in Pre-Labor Human Amniotic Epithelium

TL;DR: Infection of human fetal membranes elicits secretion of pro‐inflammatory modulators through its innate immune capacities and the effect of lipopolysacharide and progesterone upon expression of TLR‐4/MyD88, TNFα,IL‐6, IL‐8, IL-10, and HBD2 on the human amniotic epithelium is investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tissue-specific human beta-defensins (HBD)-1, HBD-2 and HBD-3 secretion profile from human amniochorionic membranes stimulated with Candida albicans in a two-compartment tissue culture system

TL;DR: The aim of this work was to characterize the individual contribution of the amnion (AMN) and choriodecidua (CHD) regions to the secretion of H BD-1, HBD-2 and HBD3, after stimulation with Candida albicans, mainly in the CHD, which is the first region to become infected during an ascending infection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Escherichia coli-induced temporal and differential secretion of heat-shock protein 70 and interleukin-1β by human fetal membranes in a two-compartment culture system.

TL;DR: Human fetal membranes responded actively to E. coli infection, with an increase in Hsp-70 during the first hours of infection, and after 24 h of incubation, HSp-70 was downregulated and the liberation of IL-1β was observed, indicating that E.coli induces pro-inflammatory cytokines and degradative metalloproteinases in fetal membranes.
