GBS-induced chorioamnionitis is associated to IL-1/CINC-1-driven PMN infiltration, MMP-10 release, and IL-1 secretion within the fetus blood.
IL-1 is likely the key player in the onset of chorioamnionitis to be targeted in future placento-protective strategies.
This results pave the way toward targeted anti-inflammatory treatments to protect the placenta and associated multi-organ threats.
