We previously reported that elevated anti-inflammatory cervical cytokines in early pregnancy were associated with spontaneous preterm birth. Our objective was to explore the relation between serum folate vitamers and the lower genital tract inflammatory milieu. Pregnant women (n=417) at <16 wk gestation had serum samples analyzed for folate species (5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5MeTHF), 5-formyltetrahydrofolate (5FoTHF)) and cervical fluid assayed for cytokine concentrations. Patterns in pro-inflammatory (PRO) cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, monocyte chemotactic protein-1) and anti-inflammatory (ANTI) cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, IL-13) were identified with factor analysis. After confounder adjustment, maternal serum 5MeTHF concentrations had a strong, negative association with elevated ANTI scores, while serum 5FoTHF concentrations were positively associated with elevated ANTI scores (both p<0.05). Maternal folate was not associated with PRO scores. Maternal serum folate vitamers are associated with cervical cytokine concentrations, suggesting a possible mechanistic link between folate and preterm birth risk.
