Using an antibody microarray, we identified various inflammatory, angiogenic, matrix-degrading, and apoptosis-related proteins in the AF that were associated with subsequent ROM occurring in the absence of active labor in women with threatened PTL. These findings provide novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying membrane rupture without active labor in threatened PTL.
