A Role for TLRs in the Regulation of Immune Cell Migration by First Trimester Trophoblast Cells

Vikki M. Abrahams, +5 more
- 15 Dec 2005 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that human first trimester trophoblast cells constitutively secrete the chemokines growth-related oncogene, growth- related oncogenic α, IL-8, and MCP-1 and are able to recruit monocytes and NK cells, and to a lesser degree, neutrophils, and this in turn results in elevated monocyte and neutrophil chemotaxis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Viral Infection of the Placenta Leads to Fetal Inflammation and Sensitization to Bacterial Products Predisposing to Preterm Labor

Ingrid Cardenas, +9 more
- 15 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: An animal model is developed to evaluate the consequences of a viral infection characterized by lack of fetal transmission and shows that viral infection of the placenta can elicit a fetal inflammatory response that can cause organ damage and potentially downstream developmental deficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amniotic fluid white blood cell count: a rapid and simple test to diagnose microbial invasion of the amniotic cavity and predict preterm delivery.

Roberto Romero, +8 more
- 01 Oct 1991 - 
TL;DR: It is concluded that the amniotic fluid white blood cell count is a sensitive, simple, and inexpensive test for the detection of microbial invasion of theAmniotic cavity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extracellular matrix composition and hypoxia regulate the expression of HLA-G and integrins in a human trophoblast cell line.

Brian A. Kilburn, +5 more
- 01 Mar 2000 - 
TL;DR: HTR-8/SVneo cells retain several important characteristics associated with primary cultures of first-trimester human cytotrophoblast cells, including their altered behavior in response to a changing maternal environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transvaginal sonographic cervical length for the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth in twin pregnancies: a systematic review and metaanalysis

Agustin Conde-Agudelo, +6 more
- 01 Aug 2010 - 
TL;DR: Transvaginal sonographic CL at 20-24 weeks' gestation is a good predictor of spontaneous preterm birth in asymptomatic women with twin pregnancies.
