Identification of a Feed-Forward Loop Between 15(S)-HETE and PGE2 in Human Amnion at Parturition

Journal of Lipid Research, 2022
Human parturition is associated with massive arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization in the amnion, indicating that large amounts of AA-derived eicosanoids are required for parturition. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesized from the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway

The biomechanics of amnion rupture: an X-ray diffraction study [PDF]

, 2007
Pre-term birth is the leading cause of perinatal and neonatal mortality, 40% of which are attributed to the pre-term premature rupture of amnion. Rupture of amnion is thought to be associated with a corresponding decrease in the extracellular collagen ...

Healing Mechanism of Ruptured Fetal Membrane

Frontiers in Physiology, 2020
Preterm premature rupture of membranes (pPROM) typically leads to spontaneous preterm birth within several days. In a few rare cases, however, amniotic fluid leakage ceases, amniotic fluid volume is restored, and pregnancy continues until term.

IL-33/ST2 axis of human amnion fibroblasts participates in inflammatory reactions at parturition

Molecular Medicine, 2023
Background Inflammation of the fetal membranes is an indispensable event of labor onset at both term and preterm birth. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) is known to participate in inflammation via ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity 2) receptor as an inflammatory ...

Amnion Cells in Tailored Hydrogels Deposit Human Amnion Native Extracellular Matrix [PDF]

, 2022
Fetal therapies regularly result in iatrogenic preterm premature rupture of the fetal membranes (iPPROM), which is associated with preterm birth. Biomaterials that promote the healing of traumatized fetal membranes (FMs) may prevent iPPROM-associated ...

The study on the safety and efficacy of amnion graft for preventing the recurrence of moderate to severe intrauterine adhesions

Genes and Diseases, 2020
Transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA) is the standard treatment for the intrauterine adhesions, but the recurrence of adhesions is a tough problem for the gynecologist.

C/EBPδ drives key endocrine signals in the human amnion at parturition

Clinical and Translational Medicine, 2021
Amnion‐derived prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cortisol are key to labor onset. Identification of a common transcription factor driving the expression of both cyclooxygenase‐2 (COX‐2) and 11β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 1 (11β‐HSD1), the key enzymes in ...
