SUMMARY
Aims: A fetus expresses paternally derived antigens which is allogenic for a mother, however; fetus is not rejected from maternal immune cells because of feto-maternal immune tolerance during pregnancy. At the same time, maternal immune system still maintains their ability to respond against pathogenic organisms. The adequate balance between tolerogenic regulatory T cells (Treg) and proinflammatory CD4+ T cells and cytotoxic T cells at feto-maternal interface is important for healthy pregnancies. However, diversity of CD4+ T cells and Tregs in healthy pregnancies and its alternation in preeclampsia (PE) have not been fully understood. Therefore, we conducted single-cell mRNA sequencing and T cell receptor repertoire analysis to reveal a landscape of diverse CD4 T cells and Treg in healthy pregnancies and altered gene expression patterns which relate to pathogenesis of PE.
Methods: Lymphocytes were isolated from decidual tissue and peripheral blood. CD4+ T cells were sorted and subjected into BD Rhapsody Single-Cell Analysis System. Targeted RNA-sequence and TCR sequence libraries were constructed. Sequencing was performed using Illumina NovaSeq 6000.
Participants/Materials: Healthy early pregnancy decidual CD4+ T cells (n=4), Healthy late pregnancy decidual CD4+ T cells (n=3), Preeclampsia decidual CD4+ T cells (n=3), Healthy late pregnancy peripheral blood CD4+ T cells (n=1) . One pairs of healthy late decidua and peripheral blood was from the same subject. All samples were subjected to targeted RNA-sequencing with the BD Rhapsody. TCR-sequence was performed in 2 healthy early, 1 healthy late decidua, 1 healthy late peripheral blood, and 1 preeclampsia decidua.
