Objective: To investigate the relationship between maternal circulating serum toll like receptor 1(TLR-1), TLR-2, TLR-4, TLR-6 levels and premature rupture of membranes(PROM) or subclinical chorioamnionitis. Methods: 520 PROM pregnant women(PROM group), including 249 term(tPROM group) pregnant women and 271 preterm(pPROM group) pregnant women, were enrolled from January 2019 to December 2019 in our hospital. In addition, 50 term and 50 preterm pregnant women with normal delivery were selected into control group. Serum samples at admission and fresh fetal membranes after delivery were collected. The serum levels of TLR-1,-2,-4,-6 were detected by ELISA; mRNA and protein expressions of TLR-1,-2,-4,-6 in fetal membranes were detected by qRT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. According to the histopathological examination, the diagnosis of subclinical chorioamnionitis was performed in PROM pregnant women. Results: Compared with the control group, the levels of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in serum or fetal membranes were significantly increased in PROM group(P<0.05). The serum levels of TLR-1,-2,-4,-6 were positively correlated with the relative expression of TLRs mRNA in fetal membranes(P<0.001). According to the histopathological diagnosis, 53 cases(21.29%) in tPROM group and 116 cases(42.80%) in pPROM group had subclinical chorioamnionitis. Compared with the pregnant women without subclinical chorioamnionitis, the serum levels of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in tRPOM or pPROM pregnant women with subclinical chorioamnionitis were significantly higher(P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the increased serum TLR-2 and TLR-4 were the independent risk factors of subclinical chorioamnionitis(P<0.05). The area under ROC curve of serum TLR-2 and TLR-4 for predicting subclinical chorioamnionitis in tPROM or pPROM pregnant women were 0.657(95% CI:0.579-0.743), 0.668 (95% CI:0.584-0.759) and 0.793 (95% CI:0.711-0.918), 0.813 (95% CI:0.725-0.942), respectively. Conclusion: The increase of serum TLR-2 and TLR-4 levels is related with PROM or subclinical chorioamnionitis, which mainly reflects the activation of TLR-2 and TLR-4 in fetal membranes of PROM pregnant women. The detection of serum TLR-2 and TLR-4 levels has an early predictive value for PROM complicated with subclinical chorioamnionitis. |
