Human-induced CD49a+ NK cells promote fetal growth

ABSTRACT: CD49a+ natural killer (NK) cells are critical in promoting fetal development and maintaining immune tolerance at the maternal-fetal interface in early pregnancy. However, their tissue residency in human tissue hinder thorough studies and clinical application. How to induce functional human CD49a+ NK cells that could benefit pregnancy outcomes is still unknown. Here, we have established three no feeder cell induction systems to induce human CD49a+ NK cells from umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), bone marrow HSCs or peripheral blood NK cells, respectively. These induced NK cells (iNKs) from three cell induction systems show high expression of CD49a, CD9, CD39, CD151, low expression of CD16, and no obvious cytotoxic capability, phenotypically and functionally similar with decidual NK cells. Furthermore, these iNKs also have high expression of growth-promoting factors and proangiogenic factors. Importantly, these iNKs have shown their capabilities to promote fetal growth and improve uterine artery blood flow in a murine pregnancy model in vivo. This research reveals properties of human-induced CD49a+ NK cells in promoting fetal growth from three cell induction systems, which may improve the feasibility of applying these iNKs to the patients having adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Natural killer cells promote fetal development through the secretion of growth-promoting factors

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are present in large populations at the maternal-fetal interface during early pregnancy, but their roles in fetal growth are unclear. Here, we identify a CD49a+Eomes+ subset of NK cells that have the capability to secrete growth-promoting-factors (GPF), including pleiotrophin, osteoglycin and osteopontin in both humans and mice. Decreases in this GPF-secreting NK subset impair fetal development, and leads to fetal growth restriction. The transcriptional factor Nfil3 but not T-bet affects the function and the number of this decidual NK subset. The crosstalk of the HLA-G-ILT2-KIR2DL4 axis promotes the GPF-secreting function of this NK subset. Adoptive transfer of these induced CD49a+Eomes+NK cells can reverse the impaired fetal growth and rebuild an appropriate local microenvironment. These findings reveal new properties of NK cells in promoting fetal growth as well as novel approaches for therapeutically administering NK cells to reverse restricted nourishments within the microenvironment during early pregnancy. To investigate novel molecular signatures of human decidual NK cells, we performed microarray analysis on dNK cells (CD3−CD56+CD49a+CD49b−) and pNK cells (CD3−CD56+CD49a−CD49b+). dNK cells were purified from first-trimester deciduas. pNK cells were purified from adult peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Samples were collected from healthy adult donors after obtaining informed consent according to the Ethics Committee of the University of Science & Technology of China.

The transcription factor PBX1 drives natural killer cells to promote fetal development

Project description:Perfect fetal development is a solid foundation for successful fertility, in which the abundant natural killer (NK) cells in the decidua tissue at the maternal-fetal interface play an important role during the first trimester. The functional subsets and transcriptional regulation mechanisms of decidual NK (dNK) cells remain poorly understood. Here, we identified CD49a+PBX1+ dNK cells as a unique subset of NK cells that promote fetal development in both human and mice. PBX1 drove the transcription of key functional molecules pleiotrophin and osteoglycin that promote fetal development through direct promoter binding. In patients with unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA), decreased expression of PBX1 and PBX1(G21S) mutation correlated with fetal growth restriction and pregnancy failure. Inactivation of Pbx1 in mouse NK cells caused impaired fetal development due to a decrease in growth promoting factors. Our observations reveal the molecular regulation mechanism of CD49a+PBX1+ dNK cells promoting fetal development, and indicate that impaired PBX1 in dNK cells may serve as pathogenesis and biomarker of URSA.

A comparative microarray analysis revealed common and distinct features between iNKs and PBMC-NKs.

Project description:A comparative microarray analysis revealed common and distinct features between iNKs and PBMC-NKs. 1523 differentially expressed genes exhibited a 2 fold change when P value of 0.05 is adjusted. 1054 genes were up-regulated and 469 genes were down-regulated in iNKs. Gene ontology (GO) analysis of the top significant up-regulated genes in iNKs revealed the enrichment for mitotic cell cycle, showing the characteristics of growth of iNK. A range of genes involved in NK regulatory functions including receptors, cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules were found to be uniquely up-regulated in iNKs. To evaluate the properties of iNK cells, primary NK cells (PBMC-NKs) and induced NK cells (iNKs) were compared at total gene expression levels.

RNA sequencing of NK cells in human lung

Project description:Human lung tissue-resident NK cells (trNK cells) are likely to play important roles in viral infections, inflammation and cancer. However, knowledge about lung trNK cells is lacking but is fundamental for exploiting these cells in therapeutic approaches. Here we analysed the transcriptome of CD69+CD49a+CD103+CD16-CD56bright, CD69+CD49a+CD103-CD16-CD56bright, CD69+CD49a-CD103-CD16-CD56bright, CD69-CD49a-CD103-CD16-CD56bright, and CD56dimCD16+NKG2A+CD57- NK cells isolated from human lung.

A discrete subset of epigenetically primed human NK cells mediates antigen-specific immune responses

Project description:Adaptive features of natural killer (NK) cells have been reported in various species with different underlying mechanisms. It is unclear, however, which NK cell populations are capable of mounting antigen-specific recall responses, and how such functions are regulated at the molecular level. Here we identify and characterize a discrete population of CD49a+CD16- NK cells in the human liver that display increased epigenetic potential to elicit memory responses and has the functional properties to exert antigen-specific immunity on the skin as an effector site. Integrated chromatin-based epigenetic and transcriptomic profiling revealed unique characteristics of hepatic CD49a+CD16- NK cells when compared to conventional CD49a-CD16+ NK cells thereby defining active genomic regions and molecules underpinning distinct NK cell reactivity. In contrast to conventional NK cells, our results suggest adaptive CD49a+CD16- NK cells to be able to bypass the KIR receptor-ligand system upon antigen-specific stimulation. Furthermore, these cells were highly migratory towards chemokine gradients expressed in epicutaneous patch test lesions as an effector site of adaptive immune responses of the skin. These results define pathways operative in human antigen-specific memory NK cells and provide a roadmap for harnessing this NK cell subset for specific therapeutic or prophylactic vaccine strategies.

Bulk RNA-seq and ATAC-seq of mouse uterine tissue-resident natural killer cells.

Project description:Uterine natural killer(NK) cells play a crucial role in pregnancy by promoting spiral artery remodeling and secreting fetal growth factors.Uterine trNK cells before pregnancy and during pregnancy (gd6.5, gd8.5 and gd11.5) were sorted, then applied into bulk RNA-sequence to reveal the features at different timepoints. Similarily, uterine trNK cells with different treatment in vitro were also sorted for bulk RNA-sequence to identify the role of IL-21-STAT3 signaling. To interpret the differentiation trajectory of uterine trNK cells, CD45+NKp46+NK1.1+ cells in wild-type virgin mice, wild-type gd8.5 mice, Il21r-/- gd8.5 mice and Il21r-/- gd8.5 mice with Caspase3 inhibitor are sorted.Applying them to Single-Cell RNA sequence, a differentiation trait of uterine NK cells during pregancy was revealed and IL-21 significantly promoted this process at initial stage.
