Summary: | Problem
Expansion of circulating NK cells has been related to pregnancy complications. This study aims at investigating several surface NK cell markers to identify a baseline inflammatory profile in women with recurrent pregnancy loss (iRPL) and recurrent implantation failure (iRIF).
Method of study
Expression of NKp30, TIGIT, NKp46, and DNAM‐1 on total peripheral blood NK subsets, regulatory (CD56brightCD16neg), and cytotoxic (CD56dimCD16pos/neg) NK cells was measured.
Results
Eighty‐three women were recruited and classified into two groups, 58 women with RPL and 25 with RIF. A control group of 31 fertile women was included. Expression of NKp30 on cytNK was significantly higher in RPL (p = .019) and RIF (p |
