胎膜早破孕妇B族链球菌感染分型及胎膜组织中Nrf2/NF-κB表达

Types of group B Streptococcus infection in pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes and expression of Nrf2/NF-κB in fetal membranes

  • 摘要: 目的 探究B族链球菌感染胎膜早破孕妇分型特点及胎膜组织中核因子相关因子2(Nrf2)和核因子-kB (NF-κB)表达改变研究。方法 选择四川省交通运输厅公路局医院妇产科2017年5月-2019年5月收治的胎膜早破(Premature rupture of membranes,PROM)合并B族链球菌(Group B Streptococcus,GBS)感染孕妇50例作为研究组,选择同期于医院进行就诊的PROM无GBS感染孕妇60例作为对照组。对研究组孕妇GBS分型特点进行调查;分别采用免疫组化法及反转录聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)法检测孕妇胎膜组织中的Nrf2及NF-κB表达;对两组产妇丙二醛(Malondialdehyde,MDA)和超氧化物歧化酶(Superoxide dismutase,SOD)、白介素-1β(Interleukin-1β,IL-1β)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(Tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)水平进行比较。结果 PROM合并GBS感染以Ib型、Ⅲ型检出率较高,分别占30.00%、38.00%;研究组Nrf2阳性率低于对照组,NF-κB阳性率高于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);研究组胎膜组织中Nrf2在mRNA上的相对表达水平低于对照组,NF-κB相对表达水平高于对照组,研究组胎膜组织中MDA、IL-1β、TNF-α水平均高于对照组,SOD水平低于对照组,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论 PROM合并GBS感染以Ib型、Ⅲ型检出率较高,妊娠晚期应增加对GBS的筛查,Nrf2及NF-κB通路参与了GBS感染孕妇发生PROM的进程,其机制有待进一步研究。

     

    Abstract: OBJECTIVE To explore the typing characteristics of pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes combined with group B Streptococcus infection and the change of nuclear factor-related factor 2(Nrf2) and nuclear factor-kB(NF-κB) expression in fetal membrane tissue. METHODS Total of 50 pregnant women with premature rupture of membranes(PROM) combined with Group B Streptococcus(GBS) infection, who were admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Highway Bureau Hospital, Sichuan Provincial Department of Transportation from May 2017 to May 2019 were enrolled. And 60 cases of PROM-free pregnant women without GBS infection who were in the hospital during the same period were recruited as the control group. The characteristics of GBS typing of pregnant women in the study group were investigated; immunohistochemistry and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) assay were used to detect the expression of Nrf2 and NF-κB in the fetal membrane tissue of pregnant women; levels of malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) between two groups were compared. RESULTS The typing in pregnant women with PROM combined with GBS infection with higher detection rate was type Ib and type III, accounting for 30.00% and 38.00%, respectively. Compared with the control group, the expression of Nrf2 in the study group was higher, whereas that of NF-κB was lower, and had down-regulated and at the level of fetal membrane tissue and mRNA level The expression was up-regulated, and the difference between them was significant(P<0.05); the levels of MDA, IL-1β, and TNF-α in the fetal membrane tissue in the study group were higher than that in the control group, and the SOD level was lower than that in the control group, the difference was significant(P<0.05). CONCLUSION The detection rates of type Ib and type III in PROM combined with GBS infection were relatively high. Screening for GBS should be routine increased in late pregnancy. Nrf2 and NF-κB pathways were involved in the process of PROM in GBS-infected pregnant women, which mechanisms remain to be further studied.
