During human early pregnancy, fetus-derived trophoblasts come into direct contact with maternal immune cells at the maternofetal interface. At sites of placental attachment, invasive extravillous trophoblasts encounter decidual leukocytes (DLC) that accumulate within the decidua. Because we first found chemokine CXCL16 was highly expressed in and secreted by the first-trimester human trophoblasts previously, in this study we tested the hypothesis of whether the fetal trophoblasts can direct migration of maternal T lymphocyte and monocytes into decidua by secreting CXCL16. We analyzed the transcription and translation of CXCL16 in the isolated first-trimester human trophoblast, and examined the kinetic secretion of CXCL16 in the supernatant of the primary-cultured trophoblasts. We demonstrated that the sole receptor of CXCL16, CXCR6, is preferentially expressed in T lymphocytes, NKT cells, and monocytes, hardly expressed in two subsets of NK cells from either the peripheral blood or decidua. We further demonstrated the chemotactic activity of CXCL16 in the supernatant of the primary trophoblast on the peripheral mononuclear cells and DLC. Moreover, the CXCL16/CXCR6 interaction is involved in the migration of the peripheral T lymphocytes, gamma delta T cells, and monocytes, but not NKT cells. In addition, the trophoblast-conditioned medium could enrich PBMC subsets selectively to constitute a leukocyte population with similar composition to that of DLC, which suggests that the fetus-derived trophoblasts can attract T cells, gamma delta T cells, and monocytes by producing CXCL16 and interaction with CXCR6 on these cells, leading to forming a specialized immune milieu at the maternofetal interface.
