Özet

Chorioamnionitis is closely associated with preterm labor and poses a significant public health concern. In this pathological process where inflammation plays a key role, intracellular mechanisms such as endoplasmic reticulum stress are crucial. In this study, we aimed to explore the potential positive outcomes of the combined use of salubrinal (SLB) with magnesium (Mg) treatment in chorioamnionitis. Thirty pregnant rats were divided into 5 groups as: Control, LPS (1 mg/kg), LPS + SLB (1 mg/kg), LPS + Mg (Dhaka protocol), LPS + SLB + Mg. Rats were sacrificed 4 h after LPS administration, then placental and fetal brain tissues were collected. LPS administration enhanced the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, vascular endothelial growth factor, caspase-3 immunoexpressions, BAX, eukaryotic initiation factor 2-alpha, s100, and glial fibrillary acidic protein expressions and lowered BCL2 expressions in the placenta or fetal brains. SLB and Mg treatments were observed to reverse all these findings, and the most significant positive effect was in the LPS + SLB + Mg group. The known anti-inflammatory activity of Mg, when used with SLB, preventing the transition to apoptosis and increasing antioxidant enzyme activity, as identified in this study, can contribute significantly to the literature. However, these results need to be supported by additional molecular studies.
