Systemic and local cytokine profiles in endotoxin-induced preterm parturition in mice

Paul L. Fidel, +6 more
- 01 May 1994 - 
TL;DR: Preterm delivery after lipopolysaccharide administration is preceded by the appearance of dramatic increases in maternal serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, and interleukain-1α and in amniotic fluid concentrations of interleucin- 6 and interLEukin -1α.
Journal Article

Human decidua: a source of interleukin-1.

Roberto Romero, +5 more
- 01 Jan 1989 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human decidua can produce interleukin-1 in response to bacterial endotoxin, as demonstrated by the blockade of this bioactivity with antibodies againstinterleuk in-1: interleukesin-i alpha and interleuko-1 beta.
Journal ArticleDOI

A System of Cytokines Encapsulated in ExtraCellular Vesicles

Wendy Fitzgerald, +5 more
- 12 Jun 2018 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that these two systems of cell–cell communication are not strictly separated, as many cytokines in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo are released in EV-encapsulated forms and are capable of eliciting biological effects upon contact with sensitive cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-like receptor-2 and -4 in the chorioamniotic membranes in spontaneous labor at term and in preterm parturition that are associated with chorioamnionitis

Yeon Mee Kim, +10 more
- 01 Oct 2004 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the expression of the Toll-like receptor-2 and -4 in fetal membranes in response to labor at term and histologic chorioamnionitis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amniotic fluid interleukin-6 : correlation with upper genital tract microbial colonization and gestational age in women delivered after spontaneous labor versus indicated delivery

William W. Andrews, +5 more
- 01 Aug 1995 - 
TL;DR: Amniotic fluid interleukin-6 levels are higher and inversely proportional to gestational age in women with intact membranes and spontaneous labor versus indicated deliveries, higher in women in whom both cultures were negative, and reflective of chorioamnion microbial colonization.
