The Chromosome 19 miRNA Cluster Guards Trophoblasts Against Overacting Innate Immunity
Abstract To maintain pregnancy health, the human placenta delicately balances protection of the developing fetus from invading pathogens with suppression of excessive inflammation that could lead to fetal and neonatal autoimmune disorders. Previous research, including our own, has shown that small RNA products of the Chromosome 19 MicroRNA Cluster (C19MC) promote viral resistance in non-trophoblastic cells. However, the role of C19MC products in placental trophoblasts remained unclear.
Extracellular vesicles promote transkingdom nutrient transfer during viral-bacterial co-infection
Highlights • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) associate with Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms • EVs secreted from virus-infected respiratory epithelia promote P. aeruginosa biofilm • RSV infection increases transcytosed transferrin and iron on EVs to promote biofilm • EVs are a nutrient source that mediate host-pathogen interactions in the lung Summary Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly appreciated as a mechanism of communication among cells that contribute to many physiological processes.
Type III Interferons Produced by Human Placental Trophoblasts Confer Protection against Zika Virus Infection
The strong association between ZIKV infection in pregnant women with the development of fetal growth restriction and/or CNS and other fetal congenital abnormalities, in addition to the positive culture of ZIKV from feto-placental tissues of affected pregnancies, suggests that ZIKV is capable of gaining access into the intrauterine cavity to directly affect fetal development.
