Viable human CD56+ CD16- peripheral blood Natural Killer (NK) cells show specific in vitro binding under shear forces to ligands expressed by endothelial cells in cryostat sections of gestation day (gd)7 mouse decidua basalis. In serial assays, numbers of cells adhering to gd7 tissue are constant for men but have cyclical variation for fertile women, suggesting a brief gain in functional decidual homing potential of this NK cell subset during the menstrual cycle. Regardless of gender, numbers of adhering cells from an individual donor, increase dramatically when the substrate is decidua basalis from a later gestational timepoint. Here, we report that human blood CD56+ CD16- NK cells which adhere as single cells over gd7 decidua basalis, adhere as large clusters over gd8 and gd9 tissues, suggestive of antigen recognition and lymphocyte activation. We asked which cells within mouse decidua basalis trigger this response in CD56+ CD16- cells. Using decidua from mice transgenic for myeloid dendritic cell (mDC) expression of enhanced yellow fluorescent protein (eYFP), we found cluster formation was independent of mDC contact. Use of decidua from alymphoid mice showed clustering behavior required substrate iymphocytes. By use of decidua containing NK cells but lacking T and B cells, decidual T and/or B lymphocytes were identified as the cells altered after gd7 in a manner that activates CD56+ CD16- cell clustering. This timepoint is just prior to mouse spiral arterial modification and its detection by these indicator cells implicates adaptive, decidual immune responses in the regulation of INK cell function.
