Induction of pro-inflammatory genes by serum amyloid A1 in human amnion fibroblasts

Abstract Serum amyloid A1 (SAA1) is an acute response protein, which is mainly produced by the liver, during infection. However, it remains unknown whether SAA1 can be produced in human fetal membranes where it is able to elicit events pertinent to labor initiation. We demonstrated that SAA1 was exp...
