Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Inflammation characteristic effects of progesterone on preterm and term placentas [ Time Frame: One year ]
    Differences observed in cytokine profiles of IMC cells from term and preterm placentas cultured with and without progesterone

  • Maturation effects of progesterone on preterm and term placentas [ Time Frame: One year ]
    Differences observed in maturation of IMC cells into DC cells in term and preterm placentas


Estimated Enrollment: 400
Anticipated Study Start Date: July 2017
Estimated Study Completion Date: July 2018
Estimated Primary Completion Date: July 2018 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Preterm labor placentas and progesterone
IMC cells taken from preterm labor placentas will be cultured with progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.
Biological: Culture with progesterone
Progesterone, a steroid hormone will be cultured with placental IMC cells
Active Comparator: Term labor placentas and progesterone
IMC cells taken from term labor placentas will be cultured with progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.
Biological: Culture with progesterone
Progesterone, a steroid hormone will be cultured with placental IMC cells
Active Comparator: Preterm labor placentas without progesterone
IMC cells taken from preterm labor placentas will be cultured with progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.
Biological: Culture without progesterone
Culture of placental IMC cells without progesterone
Active Comparator: Term labor placentas without progesterone
IMC cells taken from term labor placentas will be cultured without progesterone and will be analyzed for inflammation characteristics and maturation into DC cells.
Biological: Culture without progesterone
Culture of placental IMC cells without progesterone
