Human leukocyte antigen HLA-C, HLA-G, HLA-F, and HLA-E placental profiles are altered in early severe preeclampsia and preterm birth with chorioamnionitis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The extravillous trophoblast expresses each of the nonclassical major histocompatibility complex class I antigens-human leukocyte antigens E, F, and G-and a single classical class I antigen, human leukocyte antigen C. We recently demonstrated dynamic expression patterns of human leukocyte antigens C, G, and F during early extravillous trophoblast invasion and placentation. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the hypothesis that the immune inflammatory mediated complications of pregnancy such as early preeclampsia and preterm labor may show altered expression profiles of nonclassical human leukocyte antigens. STUDY DESIGN: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction, western blot, and immunohistochemistry were performed on placental villous tissues and basal plate sections from term nonlaboring deliveries, preterm deliveries, and severe early-onset preeclampsia, both with and without small-for-gestational-age neonates. RESULTS: Human leukocyte antigen G is strongly and exclusively expressed by the extravillous trophoblast within the placental basal plate, and its levels increase in pregnancies complicated by severe early-onset preeclampsia with small-for-gestational-age neonates relative to those of healthy term controls. Human leukocyte antigen C shows a similar profile in the extravillous trophoblast of preeclamptic pregnancies, but significantly decreases in the villous placenta. Human leukocyte antigen F protein levels are decreased in both extravillous trophoblast and villous placenta of severe early-onset preeclamptic pregnancies, both with and without small-for-gestational-age neonates, compared with those found in term and preterm birth deliveries. Human leukocyte antigen E decreases in blood vessels in placentas from preeclamptic pregnancies relative to its levels in term and preterm birth deliveries. Placental levels of human leukocyte antigens F and C are increased in cases of preterm birth with chorioamnionitis relative to those of cases of idiopathic preterm birth. CONCLUSION: Dysregulation of placental human leukocyte antigen expression at the maternal-fetal interface may contribute to compromised maternal tolerance in preterm birth with chorioamnionitis and excessive maternal systemic inflammation associated with severe early-onset preeclampsia.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
