Transcriptome signature identifies distinct cervical pathways induced in lipopolysaccharide-mediated preterm birth
Cervical inflammasome activation and subsequent protease upregulation are potential mechanisms of downstream extracellular matrix disruption in LPS-mediated preterm birth. Overall design: Using RNA-seq to compare cervices from day 15 gestation intrauterine-LPS treated mice to nontreated day 15, intrauterine water (sham), and day 18 samples.
