We undertook an investigation in which flow cytometry was used to characterize immune cell populations in the decidua of first-trimester normal pregnancies, spontaneous abortions, and ectopic pregnancies in comparison to the nonpregnant endometrium to demonstrate how the proportions of immunocompetent cell populations at the fetomaternal interface are influenced by the presence and state of a fetoplacental allograft. No significant differences were found in the decidua of the different types of first-trimester pregnancy in the proportions of the CD45+, CD14+, CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD19+, CD3-/CD16+ and/or CD56+, CD3+/CD16+ and/or CD56+, CD4+/Leu-8+, CD4+/Leu-8-, CD8+/CD11b+, CD8+/CD11b-, and CD3+/HLA-DR- decidual leukocyte subsets. However, the percentage of decidual CD3+/HLA-DR+ cells, which are characteristic of activated T cells, was significantly higher in spontaneous abortions than in normal pregnancies (p less than 0.05). This suggests that the accumulation of decidual leukocytes may be regulated mainly by hormones and/or cytokines rather than by the presence and state of an intrauterine conceptus and that on/off-switching of activation of decidual T cells may be associated with successful maintenance of the implanted embryo.

D011261 Pregnancy Trimester, First The beginning third of a human PREGNANCY, from the first day of the last normal menstrual period (MENSTRUATION) through the completion of 14 weeks (98 days) of gestation.

D011271 Pregnancy, Ectopic A potentially life-threatening condition in which EMBRYO IMPLANTATION occurs outside the cavity of the UTERUS. Most ectopic pregnancies (>96%) occur in the FALLOPIAN TUBES, known as TUBAL PREGNANCY. They can be in other locations, such as UTERINE CERVIX; OVARY; and abdominal cavity (PREGNANCY, ABDOMINAL).

D003656 Decidua The hormone-responsive glandular layer of ENDOMETRIUM that sloughs off at each menstrual flow (decidua menstrualis) or at the termination of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the thickest part of the decidua forms the maternal portion of the PLACENTA, thus named decidua placentalis. The thin portion of the decidua covering the rest of the embryo is the decidua capsularis. Deciduum,Deciduas
D004717 Endometrium The mucous membrane lining of the uterine cavity that is hormonally responsive during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE and PREGNANCY. The endometrium undergoes cyclic changes that characterize MENSTRUATION. After successful FERTILIZATION, it serves to sustain the developing embryo. Endometria
D005260 Female Females
D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
