Human decidual NK cells : unique phenotype and functional properties - A Review
Human decidual NK cells are massively recruited at the site of embryonic implantation (decidua basalis). They differ in many ways from their peripheral blood NK cell counterparts in term of gene expression, phenotype and functionality. The major subpopulation of decidual NK cells is CD56bright whereas the minor subset is CD56dim, contrasting with the peripheral blood NK cells whose major subpopulation is CD56dim. Decidual NK cell cytolytic function is much reduced despite the presence of several activating receptors and of the essential machinery required for lysis. Decidual NK cells produce a number of cytokines that are not normally secreted by peripheral blood NK cells. Human decidual NK cell potential functions at the maternal-fetal interface are not yet clearly established but several hypotheses are being evaluated, including control of extravillous invasion, control of uterine vascular remodeling, and local anti-viral activity.
