Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the functional status and immunophenotypic characteristics of natural killer (NK) cells in women who suffer recurrent spontaneous abortions (RSA) or have infertility of unknown aetiology. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from 40 study patients and 13 normal healthy multiparous controls. NK cells were identified using anti-CD56 and anti-CD16 monoclonal antibodies (mAb). The expression of CD69, CD25, CD122, CD30, CD154, CD128 and CD94 on NK cells was detected using specific mAb and analysed by flow cytometry. CD69 expression on NK cells after ED(27) human trophoblast cell line co-culture with PBMC was also investigated. A significant increase in CD69 expression on CD56(+) NK cells was demonstrated in women with RSA (P < 0.005) and infertility (P < 0.05) as compared with that of normal controls. Conversely, CD94 expression was significantly decreased in women with RSA (P < 0.005) and infertility (P < 0.05) in comparison with that of controls. Increased CD69 expression on NK cells was induced after 24 h co-culture with ED(27). In conclusion, peripheral blood NK cells of women with RSA and infertility of unknown aetiology have higher proportions of activated NK cells in...Continue Reading
