Liu F, Guo J, Tian T, Wang H, Dong F, Huang H, Dong M. Placental trophoblasts shifted Th1/Th2 balance toward Th2 and inhibited Th17 immunity at fetomaternal interface. APMIS 2011; 119: 597-604. The aims were to clarify the effect of placental trophoblasts on T lymphocytes by assessing production of cytokines and expression of transcription factors regulating Th1, Th2, and Th17 immunity in T lymphocytes. Placental trophoblasts were isolated and conditioned medium was made after trophoblast cultivation for 72 h. T lymphocytes were cultured in presence or absence of conditioned medium. ELISA was used to detect concentration of IL-2, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-10, and IL-17 in supernatants of T cell and real-time PCR was used to detect the status of Th1 (T-bet, STAT-4), Th2 (GATA-3, STAT-6), and Th17 (RORC) immunity in T lymphocyte. We found that the level of IL-2, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and IL-17 was significantly decreased when T lymphocytes were cultured in conditioned medium compared with control, while IL-10 and IL-4 level were not significantly changed. The presence of conditioned medium significantly decreased the ratio of Th1 /Th2. The expression of GATA-3 and STAT-6 were significantly increased and STAT-4 was reduced when T lymphocyte was cultured in conditioned medium, while the expression of T-bet and RORC was not significantly different. We concluded that placental trophoblast-induced shift of Th1 /Th2 balance toward Th2 and inhibition of Th17 might be among the mechanisms involved in maternal tolerance to fetus.
