Objective: We sought to determine whether cytomegalovirus infection of extravillous trophoblast cells induces inflammatory changes that lead to cell death. Study design: Extravillous trophoblast (HTR-8/SVneo) cells were infected with cytomegalovirus. Cell death assays were performed 8 to 48 hours after infection. The expression and secretion of cytokines (interleukin-6 and -8) preceding cell death was measured by polymerase chain reaction and enzyme-finked immunosorbent assay. Results: Cell viability (lactate dehydrogenase assay) was reduced approximately 20%, and rates of apoptosis (measured by TdT-mediated dUTP-X nick end labeling [TUNEL] assay) were increased approximately 40% at 16 to 48 hours after infection. Significantly elevated levels of caspase-3 mRNA levels were observed before increased cell death. Interleukin-6 and -8 mRNA expression and protein secretion were up-regulated 8 to 16 hours after cytomegalovirus infection. Conclusion: Placental exposure to cytomegalovirus induces an inflammatory response that precedes invasive trophoblast cell death. Cytomegalovirus may prevent normal placental invasion, which results in adverse reproductive outcomes that are associated with placental dysfunction. (c) 2006 Mosby, Inc. All rights reserved.
