Abstract Bacterial chorioamnionitis causes adverse pregnancy outcomes, yet host-microbial
interactions are not well characterized within gestational membranes. The
decidua, the outermost region of the membranes, is a potential point of entry
for bacteria ascending from the vagina to cause chorioamnionitis. We sought to
determine whether paracrine communication between decidual stromal cells and
macrophages shaped immune responses to microbial sensing., Decidual
cell-macrophage interactions were modeled in vitro utilizing decidualized,
telomerase-immortalized human endometrial stromal cells (dTHESCs) and phorbol
ester-differentiated THP-1 macrophage-like cells. The production of inflammatory
mediators in response to LPS was monitored by ELISA for both cell types, while
phagocytosis of bacterial pathogens (Escherichia coli and Group B Streptococcus
(GBS)) was measured in THP-1 cells or primary human placental macrophages.
Diclofenac, a non-selective cyclooxygenase inhibitor, and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2
) were utilized to interrogate prostaglandins as decidual cell-derived paracrine
immunomodulators. A mouse model of ascending chorioamnionitis caused by GBS was
utilized to assess the colocalization of bacteria and macrophages in vivo and
assess PGE2 production., In response to LPS, dTHESC and THP-1 coculture
demonstrated enhancement of most inflammatory mediators, but a potent
suppression of macrophage TNF-a generation was observed. This appeared to
reflect a paracrine-mediated effect of decidual cell-derived PGE2 . In mice with
GBS chorioamnionitis, macrophages accumulated at sites of bacterial invasion
with increased PGE2 in amniotic fluid, suggesting such paracrine effects might
hold relevance in vivo., These data suggest key roles for decidual stromal cells
in modulating tissue responses to microbial threat through release of PGE2 .
