Abstract

Successful implantation involves a high degree of development of spiral arteries, combined with high proliferative activity, which ensures the formation of a healthy placenta, full uterine-placental circulation, and the birth of a healthy child. The placenta is the unique organ of the biological monitoring, the mirror of pregnancy. Identification of placental markers of miscarriage is a promising direction for preventing reproductive losses.

The aim of the work is to identify the markers of miscarriage and premature labor in the structures of the chorion and placenta.

Materials and methods. The main group included tissue samples of the 22 chorions and 64 placentas after termination of current pregnancy from women with a history of reproductive losses. The control group included tissue samples of the 20 chorions after artificial abortion and 20 placentas after physiological pregnancy and birth. The placenta was examined according to the protocol (form No. 013-1/0). The expressions of VEGF, CD31/PECAM1, CD105/Endoglin/TGFβ 1/3 Receptor, Bcl-2α Ab-1, TNF-α, CD45/T200/LCA, CD56/NCAM1 were studied in the structures of chorion and placenta by immunohistochemistry.

Results. Based on histological and immuno-histochemical study of chorion and placenta samples in women with reproductive history and termination of the current pregnancy, it was established that embryo-endometrial dysfunction is the cause of miscarriage in the first trimester, and inflammation is the precondition of preterm birth; markers of miscarriage and premature labor in the structures of the chorion and placenta have been identified.

Conclusions. The markers of miscarriage are pathomorphological changes in endometrium and chorion combined with high expression of TNF-α and NK-CD56, low expression of CD31/PECAM1, negative expression of VEGF to indicate a violation of cytotrophoblast invasions. The markers of inflammation and premature labor are structural and functional changes of placenta in combination with moderate expression of TNF-α in syncytium, high expression of NK-CD56 in villous stroma, high expression of CD45/T200/LCA in the decidual membrane.
