مستخلص: | Congenital toxoplasmosis can cause neurological and eye damage, behavioral alterations, or death in fetuses or babies born to Toxoplasma gondii-infected women. Several pieces of evidence suggest that socioeconomic, environmental, and inflammatory patterns linked to the maternal immune response partly drive the pathogenesis of this disease. However, immunoregulation induced by T. gondii infection during gestation is not completely understood. The aim of this study was to assess the association between T. gondii seropositivity and concentrations of plasma markers (CCL2, CXCL16, IL-17, and IL-33) in Brazilian pregnant women. Inflammatory markers were measured by immunoassays in the plasma of 131 pregnant women (13 to 46 years old). The prevalence of T. gondii infections was 45.8% (n = 60) in this population. The concentrations of CCL2, CXCL16, and IL-33 were higher in T. gondii-seropositive than in seronegative pregnant women, while the opposite was observed for IL-17 levels. In IgG+ women, a strong correlation between IL-17 and IL-33 (r = 0.7508, p = 0.0001) and a moderate correlation between CXCL16/IL-17 (r = 0.7319, p = 0.0001) and CXCL16/CCL2 (r = 0.3519, p = 0.0098) was observed. In uninfected women, a strong correlation was found between IL-17 and CXCL16 (r = 0.6779, p = 0.0001) but moderate between IL-17 and IL-33 (r = 0.4820, p = 0.0001). In summary, our data suggest that plasma upregulation of CCL2, CXCL16, and IL-33 might exert a potential protective role in the mother/fetus/parasite axis and, in addition, multiparous women are more likely to be infected with T. gondii than primiparous women.
