Pregnant mice were administered rytvela or PBS on gestation day 16.5, immediately prior and following surgical administration of heat-killed Group B streptococcus (hkGBS) or PBS into the uterine cavity. Treatment with rytvela prevented preterm delivery and alleviated fetal demise <em>in utero</em> and in the perinatal phase elicited by hkGBS.

Analysis by qPCR showed expression of inflammatory cytokine genes <em>Il1b</em>, <em>Il6, Tnf,</em> and <em>Ifng</em> in uterine tissues, and <em>Il1b</em>, <em>Il6,</em> and <em>Tnf</em> in fetal membranes, were stimulated by hkGBS and this increase was suppressed by co-administration of rytvela. Premature induction of uterine activation gene <em>Ptgs2</em> in the myometrium was also attenuated by rytvela treatment. These data show that activation of IL1-mediated signaling in response to Group B streptococcus triggers an inflammatory cascade that causes preterm parturition and fetal inflammatory injury, and that rytvela can suppress inflammatory mediators to substantially improve pregnancy and fetal outcomes.

Firstly, we evaluated the expression patterns of various factors associated with fibrosis, such as transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), extracellular matrix (ECM)-related markers (<em>COL1A1</em> and <em>COL3A1</em>), epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT)-related proteins (α-SMA and Vimentin) in healthy and endometritis-affected bovine uterine tissues. The results showed that diseased tissues presented significantly higher TGF-β1 expression, ECM production, and EMT progression versus normal tissues. Moreover, we established an LPS-induced fibrosis model in endometrial stromal cells (ESCs), and found that melatonin inhibited the fibrosis process of ESCs in a dose-dependent manner. The MT2 inhibitor 4P-PDOT blocked the antifibrotic effects of melatonin and inhibited the phosphorylation of Smad2/3, ERK1/2, and JNK1/2 in LPS-induced fibrosis of ESCs, but not P38 MAPK.

In parallel, metabolic and vascular diseases and obesity are becoming a growing issue, even among the younger population, and are affecting fertility and pregnancy outcomes of mother and child.

In the context of male infertility, IL-2 receptor antagonist levels, IL-34, and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor levels were positively linked to male infertility, whereas IL-21 showed a negative relationship. Regarding ED, IL-19, IL-1β, and eotaxin levels were negatively associated with ED risk, while macrophage inflammatory protein 1β (MIP-1β) levels and interferon gamma-induced protein 10 levels were positively associated.

Recent evidence has implicated dysregulated necroptosis in the pathogenesis of severe pregnancy complications, including preeclampsia (PE), fetal growth restriction (FGR), recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). In these disorders, necroptosis promotes placental dysfunction through multiple interconnected mechanisms: amplification of pro-inflammatory cytokine cascades, aberrant immune activation, disruption of plasma membrane integrity, and subsequent tissue injury.These pregnancy-related pathologies consistently demonstrate elevated necroptotic signatures, correlating with adverse maternal-fetal outcomes. This comprehensive review synthesizes current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying necroptosis, with particular emphasis on its pivotal role in the etiopathogenesis of pregnancy-related disorders.

The vulnerability of chorionic trophoblast cells (CTCs) to transition has not been studied. Here, we examined CTCs EMT in response to the stressors and the role of PGRMC1/PGRMC2.

PGRMC1/PGRMC2 knock-out (KO) CTCs were prepared using CRISPR/Cas9, and experiments were repeated to test the influence of the P4–PGRMC axis. Wild-type CTCs were resistant to cellular transitions, changes in P4 production, and shifts in the inflammatory status under normal, LPS, or TGF-β conditions. Autophagy inhibition tended to cause CTCs to transition (morphological changes; high N-cadherin-to-E-cadherin ratio [p < 0.05], no change in vimentin/cytokeratin), though a complete transition was not evident. Further, neither PGRMC1/PGRMC2 played a role in CTC cellular transitions, as their KO did not cause any major changes.
