Infection during pregnancy represents a significant cause of mobility and mortality. While viruses pose a major threat, little is known about their effect on early pregnancy, or the mechanisms involved. The objective of this study was to characterize the trophoblast response following exposure to viral ssRNA. First trimester trophoblast cells were treated with or without viral ssRNA. Cytokine production was measured by multiplex analysis and ELISA. Apoptosis was determined using Hoescht staining, cell viability, and caspase activity assays. Treatment of trophoblasts with viral ssRNA increased their secretion of IL-8, IL-6 and IFNβ. However, the ssRNA also induced trophoblast apoptosis. To test whether the viral ssRNA-induced inflammatory response was responsible for this induction of apoptosis, conditioned media (CM) from trophoblasts was added to a fresh culture of cells. The CM from viral ssRNA-treated induced higher levels of trophoblast apoptosis than the control CM. Moreover, recombinant IFNβ induced trophoblast apoptosis. We demonstrate that viral ssRNA induces a pro-inflammatory and type I interferon response in the trophoblast, and that this inflammatory process may indirectly induce trophoblast apoptosis. These results provide a novel mechanism by which certain viral infections might compromise placental integrity and function, and therefore, pregnancy outcome.
