Human CD56+CD39+dNK cells support fetal survival through controlling trophoblastic cell fate:immune mechanisms of recurrent early pregnancy loss

Decidual natural killer(dNK)cells are the most abundant immune cells at the maternal-fetal interface during early pregnancy in both mice and humans,and emerging single-cell transcriptomic studies have uncovered various human dNK subsets that are disrupted in patients experiencing recurrent early pregnancy loss(RPL)at early gestational stage,suggesting a connection between abnormal proportions or characteristics of dNK subsets and RPL pathogenesis.However,the functional mechanisms underlying this association remain unclear.Here,we established a mouse model by adoptively transferring human dNK cells into pregnant NOG(NOD/Shi-scid/IL-2Rynul1)mice,where human dNK cells predominantly homed into the uteri of recipients.Using this model,we observed a strong correlation between the properties of human dNK cells and pregnancy outcome.The transfer of dNK cells from RPL patients(dNK-RPL)remarkably worsened early pregnancy loss and impaired placental trophoblast cell differentiation in the recipients.These adverse effects were effectively reversed by transferring CD56+CD39+dNK cells.Mechanistic studies revealed that CD56+CD39+dNK subset facilitates early differentiation of mouse trophoblast stem cells(mTSCs)towards both invasive and syncytial pathways through secreting macrophage colony-stimulating factor(M-CSF).Administration of recombinant M-CSF to NOG mice transferred with dNK-RPL efficiently rescued the exacerbated pregnancy outcomes and fetal/placental development.Collectively,this study established a novel humanized mouse model featuring functional human dNK cells homing into the uteri of recipients and uncovered the pivotal role of M-CSF in fetal-supporting function of CD56+CD39+dNK cells during early pregnancy,highlighting that M-CSF may be a previously unappreciated therapeutic target for intervening RPL.
