Abstrakt: Aim: To study changes in expression of TLR9, NF-kappaB, TNFalpha genes in cervical canal mucosa in pregnant women with herpesvirus infection.
Materials and Methods: Using previously developed real-time polymerase chain reaction assays, levels of expression of genes, which corresponding proteins play important role in TLR9-dependent signaling pathway, was quantified.
Results: Two-fold, 4.4-fold, and 3-fold rise in expression of TLR9, NF-kappaB, and TNFalpha genes respectively was revealed in pregnant women with herpesvirus infection compared to women with physiologically occurring pregnancy.
Conclusion: Obtained results demonstrated the activation of TLR-mediated mechanisms of innate immunity on the level of cervical canal mucosa during pregnancy complicated by viral infection.
