Background: Ms. malaria infection leads to poor perinatal outcomes, including low birth weight of preterm birth and / or fetal growth restriction, especially in primigravidae. In placental malaria, Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells causing an inflammatory response that can interfere with maternal-fetal exchange, causing poor growth. Type I interferon (IFN-I) pathway plays an immunomodulatory role in viral and bacterial infections, usually by suppressing the inflammatory response. However, its role in placental malaria is unknown. This study examined the cytokine responses in placental tissues from a subset of malaria infected and uninfected women, and attempts to connect them with the results of certain birth.
Methods: 40 across the placental biopsy samples obtained from pregnant women at least 16 years were recruited to larger prospective chemoprevention trials against malaria. This is a patient in hospitals Tororo in Uganda, an area of high malaria endemicity where about 40% of women had evidence of malaria infection at delivery. They regularly attended at a local clinic and monitored for fever, blood smear done later and at the time of delivery for diagnosing malaria infection. Placental biopsies were taken for histological diagnosis of placental malaria, as well as quantitative PCR analysis of IFN-I genes in pathways (IFN-β, IL-10 and MX-1). Parameters such as the baby’s birth weight and gestational age were also recorded.
Results: Histological analysis revealed placental malaria on 18 samples, while 22 were found to be infected. RT-PCR analysis showed a fourfold increase in IFN-β and IL-10 expression in multigravidas with placental malaria compared with gravidity-matched, uninfected controls. This effect was not observed in primigravida. Interestingly, linear regression analysis showed a positive correlation between the levels of IFN-β and a higher birth weight (β = 101.2 g per log2-fold increase in the expression of IFN-β, p = 0.042). This association was strongest in primigravida with placental malaria (β = 339.0, p = 0.006).
Conclusion: These results suggest differential regulation of IFN-I pathway in placental malaria by gravidity, with the largest anti-inflammatory response seen in multigravidas. The relationship between the level of IFN-β and a higher birth weight also demonstrated a protective role for IFN-I on fetal growth restriction in placental malaria.

The role of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and interferon-γ coronavirus infection: lessons from a murine coronavirus infection in mice
Murine coronavirus (CoV) is a beta-CoV that infect mice by binding to antigen-related cell adhesion molecule-carcinoembryonic 1. intraperitoneal infection with murine CoV strain JHM (JHMV) induces mild acute hepatitis in mice. While both the innate and acquired immune responses play an important role in the protection against murine CoV infection in mice, CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and interferon-γ is critical for the eradication of hepatitis virus-induced JHMV.

Description: Ubiquitin-Like Protein ISG15 (ISG15) is a ubiquitin-like protein that becomes conjugated to many cellular proteins upon activation by interferon-alpha and -beta. Several functions have been ascribed to the encoded protein, including chemotactic activity towards neutrophils, direction of ligated target proteins to intermediate filaments, cell-to-cell signaling, and antiviral activity during viral infections. While conjugates of this protein have been found to be noncovalently attached to intermediate filaments, this protein is sometimes secreted. ISG15 becomes conjugated to a diverse set of proteins after IFN-alpha/beta stimulation or microbial challenge. The functions or biochemical consequences ISG15 conjugation to proteins are not yet known, but it appears that this modification does not target proteins for proteasomal degradation. ISG15 shows specific chemotactic activity towards neutrophils and activates them to induce release of eosinophil chemotactic factors. Upon interferon treatment, ISG15 can be detected in both free and conjugated forms, and is secreted from monocytes and lymphocytes where it can function as a cytokine. In the cell, ISG15 co-localizes with intermediate filaments and ISGylation may modulate the JAK-STAT pathway or certain aspects of neurological disease.

Description: Interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma) is an inflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the development of fibrosis in inflamed tissues. The production of IFN-gamma, which is under genetic control, can influence the development of fibrosis in lung allografts. IFN-gamma is also produced by natural killer(NK) cells and most prominently by CD8 cytotoxic T cells, and is vital for the control of microbial pathogens. Interferon gamma is believed to be crucial for host defence against many infections. Genetically determined variability in IFN-gamma and expression might be important for the development of tuberculosis. IFN-gamma activates human macrophage oxidative metabolism and antimicrobial activity. In addition to having antiviral activity, IFN-gamma has important immunoregulatory functions. IFN-gamma plays an important role in the control of neointima proliferation.
