The advantage in response of Th2 over Th1 is observed in normal pregnancy in peripheral blood. A disturbance of this balance can lead to symptoms of miscarriage and pregnancy loss. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in sera of women who were diagnosed with missed miscarriage in the first trimester and to compare this systemic immune response to the response in women with normal pregnancy. The study group consisted of 61 patients diagnosed with missed miscarriage. In total, 19 healthy women with uncomplicated first trimester created the control group. Cytokines were determined in the maternal serum by ELISA. The analysis included INF-γ, TNF-α, Il-1β, Il-4, Il-5, Il-6, Il-9, Il-10, Il-13 and TGF-β1. Th1 cytokine levels in the study group reached slightly higher values for INF-γ, Il-1β and slightly lower for IL-6 and TNF-α. In turn, Th2 cytokine levels in the study group were slightly higher (Il-9, Il-13), significantly higher (Il4, p = 0.015; Il-5, p = 0.0003) or showed no differences with the control group (Il-10). Slightly lower concentration involved only TGF-β1. Analysis of the correlation between levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines resulted in some discrepancies, without showing predominance of a specific immune response. The results did not confirm that women with missed miscarriage had an advantage in any type of immune response in comparison to women with normal pregnancy.

The contents of anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines in 95 women in the first trimester of gestation were studied. The first (control) group included 25 women with physiologic course of pregnancy; the second group consisted of 25 patients with exacerbation of chronic simple bronchitis caused by influenza virus B (antibody titers were 1:16-1:64); the third group consisted of 24 pregnant women with exacerbation of chronic simple bronchitis under influenza virus В (antibody titers were 1:32-1:128); the fourth group consisted of 21 women with exacerbation of chronic simple bronchitis induced by influenza virus B (antibody titers were 1:64-1:256) at early stages of gestation. In the patients of the second group in comparison with the patients of the first group there was an increase of IL-4 till 19.7±2.17 pg/ml, of TNF-α till 33.4±3.09 pg/ml and of INF-γ till 30.9±2.64 pg/ml (in the control it was 12.9±1.16 pg/ml, р<0.01; 24.7±2.27 pg/ml, р<0.05 and 22.3±2.08 pg/ml, р<0.05, respectively). In the third group in comparison with the second group there was no growth of anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines. In the fourth group in comparison with the second group there was the biggest increase of IL-4 till 27.7±2.42 pg/ml (р<0.05), of TNF-α till 43.6±2.79 pg/ml (p<0.05) and of INF-γ till 40.7±2.96 pg/ml (p<0.05). This suggest the paramount importance of the growth of anti-virus antibodies titers in the pathogenesis of exacerbation of chronic simple bronchitis under influenza virus B in women at early stages of gestation.

Introduction: Obesity is a disorder with low-grade chronic inflammation that plays a key role in the hepatic inflammation and steatosis. Moreover, there are studies to support the role of exosomes in the cellular communications, the regulation of metabolic homeostasis and immunomodulatory activity. Accordingly, we aimed to evaluate the influence of plasma circulating exosomes derived from females with normal-weight and obesity on the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in human liver cells. Methods: Plasma circulating exosomes were isolated from four normal (N-Exo) and four obese (O-Exo) women. The exosomes were characterized and approved for CD63 expression (common exosomal protein marker) and morphology/size using the western blot and TEM methods, respectively. The exosomes were used for stimulation of HepG2 cells in vitro. After 24 h incubation, the protein levels of TNF-α,IL-6, and IL-1β were measured in the culture supernatant of HepG2 cells using the ELISA kit. Results: The protein levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in the cells treated with O-Exo and N-Exo reduced significantly in comparison with control group (P=0.039 and P<0.001 respectively), while significance differences were not found between normal and obese groups (P=0.808, and P=0.978 respectively). However, no significant differences were found between three groups in term of IL-1β levels (P=0.069). Based on the correlation analysis, the protein levels of IL-6 were positively correlated with TNF-α (r 0.978, P<0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that plasma circulating exosomes have probably anti-inflammatory properties independently from body mass index and may decrease the secretion of inflammatory cytokines in liver. However, further investigations in vitro and in vivo are needed to address the anti-inflammatory function of N-Exo and O-Exo in human liver cells and/or other cells.
