The fetal response to maternal inflammation is dependent upon maternal IL-6 in a murine model

Jennifer Bermick et al.

Summary: The induction of maternal inflammation in mice leads to fetal injury that is believed to be IL-6 dependent. The fetal inflammatory response, defined by elevated fetal or amniotic fluid IL-6, has been described as a potential mechanism for subsequent fetal injury. The role of maternal IL-6 production and signaling in the fetal IL-6 response is currently unclear.

Summary: The study did not find evidence of placental transfer of SARS-CoV-2, but significant immune response was found to be transmitted to the fetus in cases of maternal infection.

An update on COVID-19 and pregnancy

Denise J. Jamieson et al.

Summary: Physiological, mechanical, and immunologic changes in pregnancy may affect susceptibility to and severity of COVID-19. Pregnancy is a risk factor for severe disease, with pregnant individuals more likely to experience adverse outcomes. Intrauterine transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is rare, possibly due to low viral levels and reduced expression of necessary receptors in the placenta. COVID-19 and its impact on healthcare systems have also had negative effects on pregnancy outcomes.

Diagnostic and Therapeutic Potential for HNP-1, HBD-1 and HBD-4 in Pregnant Women with COVID-19

Mariarita Brancaccio et al.

Summary: During pregnancy, mothers infected with COVID-19 have altered levels of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, as well as an increase in antimicrobial peptides, potentially providing protection to the fetus from the ongoing infection.

Evaluation of maternal-infant dyad inflammatory cytokines in pregnancies affected by maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection in early and late gestation

Elizabeth S. Taglauer et al.

Summary: This study evaluated cytokine profiles in mothers following SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy. The results showed higher levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) in maternal and infant samples, and IL-8 was uniquely elevated in infant samples. These findings suggest that maternal SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to increased cytokine levels at birth, potentially impacting long-term infant health.

Maternal and neonatal immune response to SARS-CoV-2, IgG transplacental transfer and cytokine profile

Rocio Rubio et al.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 infection during pregnancy induces a robust antibody and cytokine response at delivery and causes a significant reduction of the SARS-CoV-2-specific IgGs transplacental transfer, with a stronger negative effect when the infection is closer to delivery.

The cytokine storm and COVID-19

Biying Hu et al.

Summary: COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has become a global pandemic since its emergence in Wuhan, China, in December 2019, posing a serious threat to public health. Close contact and respiratory droplets are the main modes of transmission. The cytokine storm is closely associated with disease severity and mortality, emphasizing the importance of studying and treating the cytokine storm in COVID-19.

Risk factors for severe and critically ill COVID-19 patients: A review

Ya-dong Gao et al.

Summary: The severity factors of COVID-19 include age, gender, underlying health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and immunodeficiency, which may lead to complications like acute kidney injury. Various laboratory indicators and parameters can help monitor disease progression, while socioeconomic factors, lifestyle, and quality of healthcare also play a role in individual outcomes.

Prenatal interleukin 6 elevation increases glutamatergic synapse density and disrupts hippocampal connectivity in offspring

Filippo Mirabella et al.

Summary: The study suggests that early prenatal inflammatory conditions might lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, with IL-6 elevation during pregnancy impacting offspring behavior and altering synaptic developmental trajectories. IL-6 activates gene programs in glutamatergic neurons and requires STAT3 and RGS4 gene expression to influence glutamatergic synaptogenesis. These findings provide a mechanistic framework for understanding the association between prenatal inflammatory events and brain neurodevelopmental disorders.

The impact of COVID-19 on pregnancy outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Shu Qin Wei et al.

Summary: Infection with COVID-19 during pregnancy may lead to an increased risk of preeclampsia, preterm birth, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes. Severe cases of COVID-19 are particularly associated with higher risks of complications such as preeclampsia, preterm birth, gestational diabetes, and low birth weight.

Romeo R. Galang et al.

Summary: This study found that pregnant women with COVID-19 are more likely to experience moderate-to-severe or critical illness if they are aged 25 and older, have a healthcare occupation, are obese before pregnancy, have chronic lung disease, chronic hypertension, or pregestational diabetes mellitus. Additionally, the risk of moderate-to-severe or critical illness increases with the number of underlying medical or pregnancy-related conditions a pregnant woman has.

Maternal respiratory SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnancy is associated with a robust inflammatory response at the maternal-fetal interface

Alice Lu-Culligan et al.

Summary: The majority of placentas in late pregnancy showed no detectable viral RNA, suggesting low ACE2 expression may protect term placenta from viral infection. Cytotrophoblasts, rather than syncytiotrophoblasts or Hofbauer cells, are most vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection in vitro, indicating potential immune mechanisms shielding placental cells from infection. Immune activation at the maternal-fetal interface was observed in SARS-CoV-2-infected women in late pregnancy, even without detectable viral invasion.
