Local inflammatory response in choriodecidua induced by Ureaplasma urealyticum

Ureaplasma urealyticum is the bacterial species most often connected with preterm birth, although it often colonises the amniotic fluid without any adverse effects. The induction of preterm labour seems to depend on whether the bacteria produce an inflammatory reaction. In vitro stimulation of choriodecidual tissue with high amounts of U. urealyticum or with lipopolysaccharide induced a qualitatively similar inflammatory response detected by the production of tumour necrosis factor alpha, followed by secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10 and of prostaglandin E₂. Lower quantities of bacteria failed to induce any response.

The correlation of ureaplasma urealyticum infection with infertility

Summary. A prevalence study of Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) infection of the male genital tract was carried out in Shanghai between March 1992 and June 1995. Significantly higher frequency of UU infection was found among infertile males (549/1416) as compared to fertile controls (34/375). Examination of 8 specimens each from infertile men and fertile subjects by electron microscopy, immunogold and immunofluorescence techniques, demonstrated adhesion of Ureaplasma urealyticum to the membrane of spermatozoa and exfoliated germ cells. In addition, gold particles on Ureaplasma urealyticum were found to be adhered to the sperm surface in 4 of the 8 samples. Strong specific anti-UU fluorescence was detected in 6 of 8 samples, mainly on the midpieces and post-acrosomal regions of the spermatozoa.
To further study the effects of Ureaplasma urealyticum on fertility, 47 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were infected artificially with Ureaplasma urealyticum serotype 8 (T960). Morphological changes in the seminiferous tubules were observed 3–5 weeks after inoculation in the sacrificed animals. Dramatic impairment of spermatogenesis of both testes was found in 11 rats. Mating experiment confirmed infertility in 12 of 40 rats. Offsprings of the infected rats were significantly smaller than those of controls in terms of prenatal weights and birthweights.

Ureaplasma in lung. 2. Association with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature newborns

Infants with Ureaplasma urealyticum in the lower respiratory tract are at risk for chronic lung disease (CLD) or bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) but causality has been difficult to prove. The goal of this study was to identify ureaplasma in human neonatal lung tissue using the in situ hybridization (ISH) procedure described in Part 1 (Exp. Mol. Pathol., in press) of this report. By correlating their presence with the histopathologic findings, it may be possible to provide further evidence of the pathogenicity of ureaplasmas and their association with BPD. Lung autopsy tissue from seven infants with positive cultures and seven infants with negative cultures for ureaplasma were included in the study. All culture-positive infants were positive for ureaplasma on ISH and all had histopathologic evidence of BPD. Two of the seven infants with negative cultures were positive for ureaplasma with ISH. Of interest, these two infants were also found to have BPD at autopsy. The other five infants with negative cultures were also negative for ureaplasma on ISH and had no evidence of BPD. This study correlates the presence of U. urealyticum by ISH with the finding of BPD on histopathologic evaluation and provides evidence that it has a role in the development of CLD.
