Vertical transmission of coronavirus disease 2019: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Alexander M. Kotlyar et al.

Summary: The study found that 3.2% of 936 neonates from mothers with coronavirus disease 2019 tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 viral RNA using nasopharyngeal swab. The rates of infection are similar to those of other pathogens causing congenital infections but further research is needed to determine the rates of vertical transmission in early pregnancy and potential risk for fetal morbidity and mortality.

Identification of Required Host Factors for SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Human Cells

Zharko Daniloski et al.

Summary: Researchers conducted a genome-scale CRISPR screen to identify host factors crucial for SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting genes related to ATPase proton pump, Retromer, and Commander complexes. Validating these gene targets through multiple methods, they found shared transcriptional changes in cholesterol biosynthesis when top-ranked genes were lost. Loss of RAB7A was shown to reduce viral entry by sequestering the ACE2 receptor inside cells, underscoring its importance early in the viral infection process.

Summary: This study found the presence of ACE2- and TMPRSS2-positive cells in the human trophectoderm and placenta in all three trimesters of pregnancy, suggesting the possibility of SARS-CoV-2 spreading through the placenta and causing intrauterine fetal infection.

Chronic Histiocytic Intervillositis With Trophoblast Necrosis Is a Risk Factor Associated With Placental Infection From Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Intrauterine Maternal-Fetal Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Transmission in Live-Born and Stillborn Infants

David A. Schwartz et al.

Summary: The placental pathology findings in newborns infected by transplacental transmission of SARS-CoV-2 revealed chronic histiocytic intervillositis and syncytiotrophoblast necrosis in all placentas. These findings may serve as a pathology risk factor for fetal infection in newborns infected before delivery.

Persistence of SARS-CoV-2 in the first trimester placenta leading to transplacental transmission and fetal demise from an asymptomatic mother

Prajakta Shende et al.

Summary: This study reported a case of a pregnant woman infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the first trimester, although she was asymptomatic. Viral RNA was detected in the placenta at 13 weeks of gestation, indicating potential vertical transmission of the virus. The study provides evidence of SARS-CoV-2 persisting in the placenta and its association with adverse outcomes in early pregnancy, such as hydrops fetalis and fetal demise.

Placental trophoblast syncytialization potentiates macropinocytosis via mTOR signaling to adapt to reduced amino acid supply

Xuan Shao et al.

Summary: The syncytiotrophoblast adapts to nutrient stress by inducing macropinocytosis through repression of mTOR signaling, supporting fetal survival and growth under nutrient deprivation. Placentas derived from fetal growth restriction patients show reduced mTOR signaling, increased syncytialization, and enhanced macropinocytosis.

Summary: This study explored the association between COVID-19 at delivery and adverse pregnancy outcomes, finding increased risks for several severe complications. Discharge status was not affected by COVID-19 diagnosis, and there were no significant differences in risk for complications or severe illness by race/ethnicity.

Severe SARS-CoV-2 placenta infection can impact neonatal outcome in the absence of vertical transmission

Fulvia Milena Cribiu et al.

Summary: This study found that while SARS-CoV-2 could be detected in half of placental tissues from positive women, its presence was not associated with specific pathological, maternal, or neonatal outcomes. Severe placental damage induced by high viral load of SARS-CoV-2 may harm neonates, but no evidence of vertical transmission was found.

Differential immune responses in pregnant patients recovered from COVID-19

Ge Chen et al.

Summary: Pregnant women infected with COVID-19 exhibit different immune characteristics, such as lymphopenia, increased inflammation, and heightened activation and chemotaxis of immune cells. Single-cell mRNA sequencing analysis revealed normal clonal expansion of T cells, increased activation of NK, NKT, and MAIT cells, and differential interferon responses in monocytes in pregnant patients.

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.
