Effect of placental insults on release of DAMPs by term placental explants. Explants were exposed for 72h to (a) oxidative stress (1 mM H2O2), (b) hypoxia (1%O2), (c) low dose LPS (1 ng/ml to mimic subclinical infection), (d) nitrative stress (1 mM SIN-1). Concentrations of uric acid (UA), high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), cell free fetal DNA (cffDNA), S100 calcium binding proteins A8 (S100A8) and A12 (S100A12), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were measured in culture medium and corrected for explant protein content. Data are fold change from control conditions (n = 5–11, line represents median); dashed line represents control values. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 Wilcoxon signed rank.
