The Role of Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) on Interleukin 17A (IL-17A) in Normotensive and Preeclamptic Black South African Women

Abstract: Introduction. Interleukin 17A has been implicated in the pathophysiology of both human immune deficiency virus and preeclampsia. This study evaluated serum levels of IL-17A based on pregnancy type, gestational age, HIV status, and duration of HAART. Material and Methods. A sample size of 250 was analysed: normotensives (n=150; N) and preeclamptics (n=100; PE). Normotensives were further stratified into HIV negative (n=90), HAART-acute (n=30), and HAART-chronic (n=30). The PE group was divided into early onset … Show more

“…Others enter pregnancy on newer INSTIs, such as bictegravir, which needs further study to determine if it has the same class effects. Although we investigated the role of maternal CD4 + cell count and viral load with HDP risk as crude proxies for the maternal inflammatory state and immune status, future work should address other markers of immune status [33–36] that may better predict HDP and thus allow for the development of targeted interventions. Further work is also required to better understand risk factors for superimposed preeclampsia among individuals who enter pregnancy with chronic hypertension.…”

“…For this reason, we aim to characterize the systemic inflammatory profile of pregnant PLWH at two time points during pregnancy using a set of 12 inflammatory mediators known to be associated with HIV-related inflammation and/or adverse pregnancy outcomes. These include pro-inflammatory mediators such as T-helper type 1 cytokine: (IFNγ); inflammation-associated cytokines: IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17, TNFα, and Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) which is also an important cell differentiation modulator during pregnancy; Danger associated molecular pattern (DAMP): High mobility group box 1(HMGB1); the immunomodulatory protein alpha-1-acid-glycoprotein (AGP), which is also an acute phase protein produced in response to systemic inflammation; the major marker for acute and chronic inflammation: C-reactive protein (CRP); anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10, and HIV-suppressive cytokines IFNα and IFNβ ( Kedzierska and Crowe, 2001 ; Robertson, 2007 ; Najat Nakishbandy and Barawi, 2014 ; Osuji et al, 2018 ; Vecchié et al, 2018 ; Equils et al, 2020 ; Pereira et al, 2020 ; Phoswa et al, 2020 ; Saito Reis et al, 2021 ; Vyas et al, 2021 ). We aimed to analyze the levels of these mediators during both the second and third trimesters according to HIV status, class of ART and pregnancy outcome, namely preterm delivery or not.…”
