Vztah koncentrace vybraných markerů zánětu a endotelové dyskunkce k předčasnému porodu a fetálnímu zánětu / The relationship between selected inflammation markers and markers of the endothelial dysfunction to preterm labor and fetal inflammatory response

The doctoral dissertacion is focused on the role of inflammation in the pathogenesis of preterm labor. In the first part, we describe the current view on pathophysiology of preterm labor. In the second part, we evaluated the relationship of specific markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction to preterm birth and fetal inflammatory response. The most important findings of our study was that we found decreased levels of MMP-2 and decreased levels of sRAGE in women with preterm labor in comparison with the control group of pregnant women. Similarly, we found decreased levels of MMP-2 in women with subsequent diagnosed fetal inflammatory response. sRAGE is currently ranked among patttern recognition receptors. In the case of sRAGE we followed the results of our pilot project, it can be assumed that the its low level are connected with tissue damage. We confirmed that it can play an important role in the pathogenesis of preterm labor. We assume abnormal regulatory mechanisms of the production of MMP-2. In both cases, however, further studies are required to elucidate the functional significance of our results.
