Neutrophil Extracellular Traps in the Amniotic Cavity of Women with Intra-Amniotic Infection: A New Mechanism of Host Defense:
Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Roberto Romero,Yi Xu,Derek Miller,Ronald Unkel,Ronald Unkel,Majid Shaman,Majid Shaman,Suzanne M. Jacques,Suzanne M. Jacques,Bogdan Panaitescu,Bogdan Panaitescu,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Sonia S. Hassan,Sonia S. Hassan +15 more
TL;DR: NETs were present in the amniotic fluid of women with intra-amniotic infection and both live and dead bacteria associated with the presence of NETs were detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal intravascular inflammation in preterm premature rupture of membranes.
Maria Teresa Gervasi,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa,N. Naccasha,Percy Pacora,Susan Berman,Eli Maymon,J. C. Kim,Yeon Mee Kim,Jun Yoshimatsu,Jimmy Espinoza,Roberto Romero +10 more
TL;DR: Preterm PROM was associated with a significant increase in the median mean channel brightness of CD11b, CD14, CD64 and CD66b on granulocytes and median MCB ofCD11b on monocytes and the ratio of oxidative burst over basal iROS in both granulocyte and monocytes was higher in pretermPROM than in normal pregnancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Maternal and Fetal Compartments.
Derek Miller,Derek Miller,Kenichiro Motomura,Kenichiro Motomura,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Valeria Garcia-Flores,Roberto Romero,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez,Nardhy Gomez-Lopez +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal (uterine and decidual) ILCs play central roles in both the initiation and maintenance of pregnancy, and fetal I LCs participate in the development of immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE) and endogenous secretory RAGE (esRAGE) in amniotic fluid: modulation by infection and inflammation.
Roberto Romero,Jimmy Espinoza,Sonia S. Hassan,Francesca Gotsch,Juan Pedro Kusanovic,Cecilia Avila,Offer Erez,Sam Edwin,Ann Marie Schmidt +8 more
TL;DR: Findings suggest changes in the amniotic fluid concentration of sRAGE and esRAGE may represent part of the immune response to intra-amniotic infection/inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A point of care test for the determination of amniotic fluid interleukin-6 and the chemokine CXCL-10/IP-10.
Piya Chaemsaithong,Roberto Romero,Steven J. Korzeniewski,Zhong Dong,Lami Yeo,Sonia S. Hassan,Yeon Mee Kim,Bo Hyun Yoon,Tinnakorn Chaiworapongsa +8 more
TL;DR: Comparison of amniotic fluid IL-6 and interferon-γ – inducible protein 10 concentrations determined using lateral flow-based immunoassay or POC test and standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques shows that these concentrations are strongly correlated with concentrations determined by conventional ELISA.
