      Preeclampsia is a hypertensive and inflammatory pregnancy disorder associated with cholesterol accumulation and inflammation at the maternal-fetal interface. Preeclampsia can be complicated with fetal growth restriction ...
    • Functional Toll-like receptors in primary first-trimester trophoblasts 

      Tangerås, Line; Stødle, Guro; Olsen, Guro Dalheim; Leknes, Ann-Helen; Gundersen, Astrid; Skei, Bente; Vikdal, Anne Jorunn; Ryan, Liv; Steinkjer, Bjørg; Myklebost, Merete; Langaas, Mette; Austgulen, Rigmor; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are an important part of the body's danger response system and crucial for initiating inflammation in response to cellular stress, tissue damage, and infections. Proper placental development is ...
    • Placental inflammation by HMGB1 activation of TLR4 at the syncytium

    • Placental inflammation in pre-eclampsia by Nod-like receptor protein (NLRP)3 inflammasome activation in trophoblasts 

      Stødle, Guro; Silva, Gabriela; Tangerås, Line Haugstad; Gierman, Lobke; Nervik, Ingunn; Dahlberg, Unn; Sun, Chen; Aune, Marie Hjelmseth; Thomsen, Liv Cecilie Vestrheim; Bjørge, Line; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Pre‐eclampsia is associated with increased levels of cholesterol and uric acid and an inflamed placenta expressing danger‐sensing pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Crystalline cholesterol and uric acid activate the PRR ...
    • Toll-like receptor profiling of seven trophoblast cell lines warrants caution for translation to primary trophoblasts 

      Gierman, Lobke; Stødle, Guro; Tangerås, Line Haugstad; Austdal, Marie; Olsen, Guro Dalheim; Follestad, Turid; Skei, Bente; Rian, Kristin; Gundersen, Astrid; Austgulen, Rigmor; Iversen, Ann-Charlotte (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      Introduction Excessive placental inflammation is associated with pregnancy complications. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are sensors for danger signals from infections and damaged tissue and initiate inflammation. Trophoblasts ...
    • Toll-like receptors in placental tissue from women with and without complication of preeclampsia in pregnancy 

      Silva, Gabriela Brettas (Master thesis, 2014)
      Human pregnancy is characterized by a mild systemic inflammatory response that is essential for maternal metabolic adaptation and immunological tolerance to the semiallogeneic fetus. Trophoblasts are the placental cells ...
