The immunomodulatory properties of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) have been identified to be critical for successful pregnancy. However, the effects of hCG on peripheral γδT cells during early pregnancy have not been reported previously. We cocultured the purified γδT cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) with early pregnancy‐relevant hCG concentrations and investigated the changes in the immune functional characteristics of γδT cells via flow cytometry assays. The ratios of CD69+ and IL‐10+ γδT cells were increased in early pregnant women compared to nonpregnant women. γδT cells expressed low levels of the mannose receptor (CD206) instead of the classical hCG/LH receptor for hCG. The direct treatment of purified γδT cells with early pregnancy‐relevant hCG concentrations may have no significant effects on their immune functions. Interestingly, when PBMCs were treated with the same broad range of hCG concentrations, the ratios of CD69+ and IL‐10+ γδT cells to total γδT cells were significantly increased. Certain early pregnancy‐relevant hCG concentrations could enhance the ratios of peripheral CD69+ and IL‐10+ γδT cells, contributing to the activation of γδT cells and immunological tolerance during early pregnancy. However, these affects may not be strongly mediated by direct ligand–receptor interactions and they may highly depend on immune microenvironment. Our novel observations propose a perspective into the endocrine‐immune dialog that exists between the fetus and maternal immune cells. Peripheral γδT cells contribute to establishing immune tolerance in early pregnancy. Increased hCG concentrations in the blood circulation may not directly affected γδT cells functions because of the low expression of mannose receptor in γδT cells. However, when PBMCs incubated with hCG, certain pregnancy‐relevant hCG concentrations can increase the ratios of Ki67+γδT cells, CD69+γδT cells, and IL‐10+γδT cells, which might be dependent on the immune microenvironment modulation.
