Abstract

Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-specific syndrome, is associated with maternal systemic and placental inflammatory responses. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) and cf-foetal DNA (cffDNA) in the blood are elevated in patients with preeclampsia and act as danger signals. Placenta-derived foetal DNA induces inflammatory responses and pregnancy complications in mice. However, whether extracellular DNA from the placenta really causes inflammatory responses remains unclear. Therefore, we investigated the effect of serum cfDNA and placental cffDNA on inflammatory responses using normal pregnant women and preeclampsia patients. Sera were taken from normal pregnant women and preeclampsia patients, and human trophoblast cell line Sw.71 cells were treated with serum with or without toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9; a sensor of exogenous DNA) inhibitor and genome elimination reagent. For cffDNA collection, placental tissue from the participants was cultured, and the released cffDNA was administrated to Sw.71 cells. The amount of serum cfDNA was higher in preeclampsia patients than in normal pregnant women. Treatment of preeclampsia serum stimulated inflammatory cytokine secretion, which was inhibited by a genome elimination reagent. Expression levels of TLR9 and ...Continue Reading
