简介:AbstractThe maternal-fetal interface is a key barrier to protect the fetus from infection. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) at the maternal-fetal interface are involved in antiviral responses. TLRs are expressed in both maternal decidua and fetal trophoblasts. Virus-induced activation of TLR signaling pathways triggers the release of interferon-related antiviral molecules and other inflammatory cytokines and/or chemokines by the host innate immune system, which may disrupt immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface and lead to pregnancy complications. In this review, we summarize the state of knowledge on the most common viral infections during pregnancy, antiviral TLR responses at the maternal-fetal interface, and TLR-associated pregnancy complications.

简介:AbstractBackground:Sepsis, a serious condition with high mortality, usually causes sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) that involves neuronal cell death. However, the cell death programs involved and their underlying mechanisms are not clear. This study aimed to explore the regulatory mechanisms of different cell death programs in SAE.Methods:A neonatal rat model of SAE was established by cecal ligation and perforation. Survival rate and vital signs (mean arterial pressure and heart rate) were monitored, nerve reflexes were evaluated, and cortical pathological changes were observed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. The expression of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and necroptosis (PANoptosis)-related proteins, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and its upstream regulator toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) were detected. The expression of TLR9 in neurons was observed by immunofluorescence staining. The ultrastructure of neurons was observed by transmission electron microscope.Results:First, PANoptosis was found in cortical nerve cells of the SAE rats. Meanwhile, the subunits of MAPKs, p38 MAPK, Jun N-terminal kinase, and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were activated. After pharmacologically inhibiting each of the subunits, only p38 MAPK was found to be associated with PANoptosis. Furthermore, blocking the p38 MAPK signaling pathway activated necroptosis but inhibited apoptosis and pyroptosis. When necroptosis was pharmacologically inhibited, apoptosis and pyroptosis were reactivated. Finally, we found that the expression of TLR9, a regulator of MAPKs, was significantly increased in this model. After down-regulation of TLR9, p38 MAPK, and ERK signaling pathways were inhibited, which led to the inhibition of PANoptosis. Further analysis found that down-regulation of TLR9 improved the survival rate and reduced the pathological changes in SAE rats.Conclusions:Our study showed that the programs comprising PANoptosis are activated simultaneously in SAE rats. TLR9 activated PANoptosis through the p38 MAPK signaling pathway. TLR9 may work as a potential target for SAE treatment.
简介:AbstractObjective:This study aimed at investigating the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) related signal pathways in liver tissues of intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy animal models.Methods:Estrogen (EE)-induced cholestasis and a placental ischemia-reperfusion (IR) model were established in pregnant rats. All pregnant rats were divided into four groups by random number table: EE-IR group (n= 6), EE-sham group (n = 6), control-IR group (n= 6) and control-sham group (n= 6). Liver expression of mTOR, its upstream regulator DNA damage response-1 (REDD1), and downstream factor glucose transporter type-1 (GLUT1), accompanied by NF-κB (p65 is the most important component), its activator toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), and inhibitor IκBα, were detected by western blot analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction. The intergroup comparisons were performed with a one-way analysis of variance, the comparisons among groups were analyzed with the nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis test.Results:Giving pregnant rats EE alone reduced the hepatic expression of IκBα (0.72 ± 0.20 vs. 1.01 ± 0.07, P= 0.008). Meanwhile, giving pregnant rats placental IR alone increased liver levels of REDD1 (3.24 ± 0.98 vs. 1.06 ± 0.24, P= 0.025), GLUT1 (2.37 ± 0.82 vs. 1.09 ± 0.10, P= 0.039), TLR4 (2.12 ± 0.29 vs. 1.20 ± 0.28, P= 0.010), and p65 (2.09 ± 0.85 vs. 1.04 ± 0.06, P= 0.023), and decreased hepatic mTOR (0.50 ± 0.07 vs. 1.01 ± 0.03, P= 0.001) and IκBα (0.61 ± 0.08 vs. 1.01 ± 0.07, P= 0.014) expression. Subjecting EE-treated rats to placental IR did not further alter liver levels of GLUT1 (2.02 ± 0.45 vs. 1.79 ± 0.39, P= 0.240), TLR4 (2.10 ± 0.74 vs. 1.60 ± 0.36, P= 0.129), or p65 (2.41 ± 0.83 vs. 1.65 ± 0.46, P= 0.145), whereas it did decrease hepatic mTOR (0.42 ± 0.09 vs. 0.90 ± 0.14, P= 0.008) and IκBα (0.43 ± 0.09 vs. 0.72 ± 0.20, P= 0.004) expression and enhance REDD1 expression (4.46 ± 0.65 vs. 2.05 ± 0.47, P= 0.009). Placental IR stress did impact the hepatic expression of REDD1-mTOR-GLUT1 and TLR4/NF-κB/IκBα in pregnant rats.Conclusion:Placental IR-induced hepatic GLUT1, TLR4, and p65 alternation, which responded efficiently in control rats, were impaired in EE-induced ICP rats.
