A lot of research nowadays is dedicated to the problem of habitual pregnancy loss, and this attention is dictated by the continued high frequency of this condition. The pathogenesis of habitual pregnancy loss is very complicated and includes many factors, at present especially close attention is paid to immune aspects. It is considered, that cytokine imbalance might play a key role in the pathogenesis of habitual pregnancy loss. Examination of 38 pregnant women was carried out at 5-12 weeks of gestation. The main group consisted of 17 women with habitual miscarriage and the threat of interruption at the time of the examination, the control group consisted of 21 women with uncomplicated pregnancy and a favorable obstetric history. As the material for investigation peripheral blood was used. Serum level of a complex of cytokines IL-β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-17A, IL-18, IL-21, IL-22, IL-23, IL-27, IFNγ, TNFα, GM-CSF was assessed on the Luminex 200 multiplex fluorescence analyzer (Luminex Corporation, USA). The significant differences in the serum level of IL-1β, IL-22, IL-23 и IL-27 were observed between the groups, in the main group their level was higher comparing to that of healthy pregnant women. When evaluating the cytokines serum level, fairly high values of IL-27 (in 25%of cases) (p<0,05), TNFα - (in 18% of cases) (p>0,05) were found in the main group, while in the control group they were not registered. Significant differences in the serum level of IL-2, IL-4, IL-9, IL-12p70, IL-18 and IFNγ were not noted in the compared groups (p>0,05). The simultaneous increase in the serum level of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines observed in our study can be explained by both an increase in the immune response and triggering of fetoprotection mechanisms. Inadequate cytokine regulation may be a prerequisite for the development of conditions for the development of a threat of termination of a real pregnancy in women with habitual miscarriage.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
