Tumor necrosis factor-alpha, a multifunctional T-helper 1 (Th1) cytokine, plays a significant role in placentation and embryonic development. Altered expression of TNF-α has been implicated in adverse pregnancy outcomes such as recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) and pre-eclampsia (PE). The use of TNF-α inhibitors (TNFi) like Adalimumab (AD) has garnered attention for its ability to traverse the placental barrier, and modulating maternal immune responses during pregnancy. In this article, we have discussed two patients in whom the immunological factors have been identified in otherwise unexplained RPL and how the use of TNFi could be of help to achieve a viable pregnancy.
肿瘤坏死因子-α是一种多功能的辅助性T细胞1(Th1)细胞因子,在胎盘形成和胚胎发育中发挥着重要作用。肿瘤坏死因子-α表达的改变与复发性流产(RPL)和子痫前期(PE)等不良妊娠结局有关。像阿达木单抗(AD)这样的肿瘤坏死因子-α抑制剂(TNFi)因其能够穿过胎盘屏障并在孕期调节母体免疫反应而受到关注。在本文中,我们讨论了两名患者,在她们原因不明的复发性流产中发现了免疫因素,以及使用肿瘤坏死因子-α抑制剂如何有助于实现成功妊娠。
