摘要
Preterm birth is an important determinant of neonatal morbidity and mortality and intra-amniotic infection (IAI) and inflammation play a causative role. The constitutive proteasome and immunoproteasome are key players in maintenance of proteostasis and their alteration outside pregnancy has been linked to pathogenesis of numerous inflammatory diseases. Our goal was to evaluate the levels, activities, and potential origin of amniotic fluid (AF) proteasome in women with preterm birth induced by infection and/or inflammation. Total proteasome and immunoproteasome concentrations were measured in AF retrieved by trans-abdominal amniocentesis from 155 pregnant women. Proteasome activities were measured with fluorogenic substrates targeting caspase-like (CAS-L), trypsin-like (TRY-L), or chymotrypsin-like (CHE-L) lytic activities. We found that IAI significantly upregulated AF concentrations of total proteasome and of the immunoproteasome (P<0.001 for both) with no differences based on gestational age. Based on substrate preference and profile of pharmacologic inhibition, we identified the CHE-L activity of the immunoproteasome as the primary lytic activity upregulated in AF of pregnancies complicated by IAI. When compared with matched maternal blood and cord blood, proteasome activity was by far the highest in AF and this was further elevated in IAI. Western blot confirmed β5 (PSMB5) and β5i (PSMB8) subunits of the constitutive proteasome and immunoproteasome are present in AF and IHC staining of fetal membranes pointed to chorio-decidua as a potential source. In conclusion, IAI is associated with increased AF immunoproteasome activity that by analogy with other inflammatory diseases may generate antigenic oligopeptides and may play a role in triggering preterm birth.
