Microglia, the missing link in maternal immune activation and fetal neurodevelopment; and a possible link in preeclampsia and disturbed neurodevelopment?
چکیده انگلیسی
Maternal immune tolerance towards the fetus involves several complex adaptations. In this active maternal immune state, the fetus develops its own immunity. As cytokines and other players of the immune system -which can pass the placenta- are involved in neurodevelopment, disruptions in immune balance influence fetal neurodevelopment. Several studies reported an association between maternal immune activation, complications of pregnancy as preeclampsia, and altered neonatal neurodevelopment. A possible pathway involves dysfunctioning of microglia cells, the immune cells of the brain. Functionality of microglia cells during normal pregnancy is, however, poorly understood. The recent outbreak of ZIKA virus (ZKV), but also the literature on virus infections in general and its consequences on microglial cell function and fetal neurodevelopment show the devastating effects a virus infection during pregnancy can have.
