PROBLEM Systemic maternal inflammation is associated with adverse neonatal sequelae. We tested the hypothesis that IL-1β is a key inflammatory regulator of adverse pregnancy outcomes. METHOD OF STUDY Pregnant mice were treated with intraperitoneal injections of IL-1β (0, 0.1, 0.5, or 1 μg) from embryonic day (E)14 to E17.

RESULTS As compared with non-treated dams, maternal injections with IL-1β resulted in increased p-NF-κB and c
