Malaria in Pregnancy (MiP) is characterized by placental accumulation of Plasmodium -infected erythrocytes, intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preterm delivery (PTD). Placental ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters mediate the efflux of nutrients, cytokines and xenobiotics. The expression and activity of these transporters are highly responsive to infection. We hypothesized that MiP would perturb the expression of placental ABC transporters, promoting PTD. Peripheral blood, spleens, livers and placentas of pregnant mice, infected with Plasmodium berghei ANKA on gestational day (GD) 13.5, were collected and analyzed on GD18.5. The primary consequences of human MiP, including IUGR, PTD (20%) and placental inflammation, were recapitulated in our mouse model. Electron microscopy revealed attenuated presence of labyrinthine microvilli and dilated spongiotrophoblasts -granular endoplasmic reticulum cisternae. Additionally, a decrease in placental Abca1 ( ABCA1), Abcb1b ( P-glycoprotein), Abcb9 and Abcg2 ( BCRP) expression was observed in MiP mice. In conclusion, MiP associated with PTD impairs placental ABC transporters’ expression, potentially modulating placental nutrient, environmental toxin and xenobiotic biodistribution within the fetal compartment, and may, at some degree, be involved with pregnancy outcome in MiP.
