Am J Reprod Immunol 2011; Objective  The aim of this study was to determine whether culturing human placental explants under different oxygen tensions will alter expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. Methods  Placental explant cultures from second-trimester, elective, terminations-of-pregnancy were incubated under 21, 5, or 1% O(2) concentrations for 24 hr in the presence or absence of IL-10. Cytokine concentrations in the conditioned medium were quantified by immunoassay. Results  Culture of placental explants under 21, 5, or 1% O(2) concentrations produced hyperoxic (143 ± 1.6 mmHg), normoxic (37 ± 1.6 mmHg), and hypoxic (18.2 ± 1.6 mmHg) pO(2) levels for the maternal-fetal interface in the medium. Oxygen tension had profound effects on basal placental cytokine levels as well as on IL-10-stimulated cytokine production. IL-1β and TNF-α, but not IFN-γ production, was reduced by 21% O(2) . Moreover, 21% O(2) levels increased the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and IL-13 while 1% O(2) tended to decrease the production of these cytokines. Conclusions  Five percent- O(2) incubation more accurately represents in vivo pO(2) conditions at the maternal-fetal interface. Routine culture of placental explants in room air produces a superphysiologic oxygen tension that tended to increase the production of anti-inflammatory and decrease the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In addition, low pO(2) may reduce responsiveness of the placenta to the anti-inflammatory actions of IL-10.
