The endometrial lining of the human uterus contains a population of phenotypically distinct (CD56bright, CD16dim), tissue-specific, natural killer (uNK) cells that play a key role in establishment of a successful pregnancy. An increase in the number of endometrial uNK cells occurs when the conceptus implants and there is a further rise during the early stages of placentation. Here we describe studies that have identified chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG), a glycoprotein synthesised by the pre-implantation conceptus, as a novel regulator of uNK cell proliferation. The impact of hCG on uNK cells was mediated via the mannose receptor (MR, CD206) rather than by the classical hCG/LH receptor that was not expressed. MR and hCG were co-localised on the surface of uNK cells and proliferation did not occur if cells were incubated with deglycosylated-hCG or intact hCG in the presence of excess D-Mannose. These novel observations provide new insight into the endocrine-immune dialogue that exists between the conceptus and immune cells within the receptive endometrium and have implications for the role of uNK cell-trophoblast interactions and pregnancy outcome.
