| Popis: | Introduction: The existence of a placental microbiome would require a non-antagonistic relationship between potentially colonizing bacteria and trophoblasts. Objective: The immunologic response of trophoblasts to specific potentially invading bacteria needs further analysis. Methodology: Immortalized first trimester human trophoblasts Swan 71 (Sw.71) were coincubated with Escherichia coli, Lactobacillus jensenii, Lactobacillus crispatus, and incubated alone (i.e., control group; 4 conditions with n = 6 for each condition). Chemokines and cytokines were measured. ANOVA with post hoc pairwise analysis was used to compare cytokines/chemokines concentrations in the 4 culture media. Results: Sw.71 co-incubated with E. coli, L. jensenii or L. crispatus resulted in differential secretion of 11 of the 26 assayed cytokines/chemokines. Sw.71 co-incubated with any of the 3 bacteria responded with significant increased secretion of interleukin (IL)-8 and granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor. All bacteria elicited the secretion of IL-6 and interferon (IFN) α2, 2 proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, Lactobacillus species resulted in increased secretion of IL-12p40 and IFNγ. While E. coli did not modify secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines, Sw.71 cells responded to co-incubation with Lactobacillus species by secreting increased levels of IL-10 and IL-1ra. Both Lactobacillus species led to a decreased secretion of IL-4. Conclusion: All 3 bacterial species triggered significant release of chemokines and inflammatory cytokines, suggesting that a commensal relationship with trophoblasts may not be feasible. |
