From: Exosomes Cause Preterm Birth in Mice: Evidence for Paracrine Signaling in Pregnancy

Exosome-induced preterm labor is not associated with systemic progesterone withdrawal or systemic inflammation. (A) Plasma progesterone levels were not significantly different regardless of the treatment. (B) Bioplex analysis of maternal plasma showed no significant difference in for IL-6 levels in PBS, E9, and E18-injected mice. (C) Bioplex analysis of maternal plasma showed no significant difference in TNF-α levels in PBS, E9, and E18-injected mice.
