Upregulation of type I and III IFN molecules in placental tissue of HIV-infected mothers. (A) mRNA expression levels of IRF3, IRF7, IFNα, and IFN-λ in decidua and placental chorionic villi from HIV-infected mothers (gray bar, n = 6–11) and UN mothers (white bar, n = 3–9) were evaluated by RT qPCR. (B) IFN-β and STING proteins levels were analyzed by immunohistochemistry in decidua and placental chorionic villi from HIV-infected mothers (gray bar, n = 7–8) and UN mothers (white bar, n = 5). Expression levels are represented as median. Mann-Whitney U or Wilcoxon signed-rank test: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
