t-helper 1 cytokines increase during early pregnancy in women with a history of recurrent spontaneous abortion

چکیده
the measurment of various cytokines may provide a different tool for evaluation of the immune system. recent investigations have shown that the number and function of peripheral natural killer cells (nk- cells) increase during early pregnancy in women with a history of unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortions (rsa). nk-cells activity may be responsible for some cases of rsa. the objective of this study was to assess the role of the thl cytokines (il-2, ifn-y, tnf-a ; tnf-/0 in this phenomenon, and detection of thl cytokines in women with rsa. the control group consisted of 40 women with no history of pregnancy loss and complication. the abortion group comprised of 92 women having at least 3 pregnancy losses. blood from the control group and women with rsa was taken at the end of first trimester of gestational age and at the time of abortion, respectively. sera were separated and peripheral blood lymphocytes were challenged with pha using rpmi medium. all samples were tested for concentration of thl cytokines using elisa methods. it was considered that sera from women with rsa produced higher concentration of tnf-«, tnf-/? , and il-2 in comparison with sera from normal pregnant women (npw) (p<0.001). we were not able to detect il-2 in (npw) whereas in 31% sera from rsa group, il-2 was detectable (p<0.001). however, there was no significant difference between ifn-y, concentration in sera from patients and control group (p<0.182). tissue culture supernatant from women with rsa also produced higher concentration of tnf-a. ifn-y, tnf-/* and il2, than control group. these data may explain the increase nk-cells cytotoxicity during early pregnancy in women with a history of rsa. it may also provide a diagnostic tool to predict the outcome of pregnancy.

Comparing Serum Levels of Th17 and Treg Cytokines in Women with Unexplained Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion and Fertile Women
Background: Increased evidences have shown that unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) is associated with inflammatory responses and breakage of immunological autotolerance. Therefore, the balance between Th17 and Treg cells may elucidate the pathophysiology of URSA. Objective: To investigate the serum concentration of regulatory and inflammatory cytokines associated with Treg and Th...

Background: Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) is usually defined as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses before 20th week of gestation. Although different factors are considered as etiology of RSA but in some cases, despite of extensive work up, the cause of RSA remains unknown which called unexplained RSA. Immunological factors are suggested as etiological factors of unexplained RSA. ...
