Inflammatory mediators and leukocytes in the decidua are key features of the underlying pathophysiology, with potential to cause uterine vascular anomalies that give rise to compromised placental function, particularly in the severe, early onet form of the disease. While uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are clearly involved, a critical question has been whether and how T cells might also contribute. Regulatory T (Treg) cells, immune-regulatory T cells that counteract inflammation and promote robust placentation, are commonly perturbed in preeclampsia, and systemic Treg cell insufficiency often precedes symptom onset. This review summarizes recent evidence from preclinical studies that collectively point to Treg cells as critical regulators of decidual spiral artery adaptation in early pregnancy, in part through modulating uNK cells. Transient depletion of Treg cells during early placental morphogenesis in mice causes fetal growth restriction and fetal loss associated with impaired remodeling of decidual spiral arteries, compromised uterine artery function, and uNK cell defects. Together with RNA sequencing data to evaluate the effects of Treg cell depletion on decidual biology, the findings provide compelling evidence to implicate Treg cells as essential upstream drivers of uterine vascular adaptation to pregnancy, through a mechanism involving regulation of uNK cells and trophoblast invasion. This new insight provides an important link between adaptive immune tolerance and spiral artery remodeling to better understand the origins of preeclampsia.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16963,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Reproductive Immunology","volume":"174 ","pages":"Article 104847"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146165584","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their signaling pathways play a significant role in reproductive disorders by mediating the immune response to various pathogenic stimuli. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), defined as the natural ending of two or more pregnancies before 24 weeks of gestation, approximately half of these patients remain idiopathic without precise prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic plans. Emerging data point that microRNAs are essential for immunological control in the female reproductive tract. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression by binding to mRNA and preventing translation into protein. miRNAs play a role in many biological processes, including the development and differentiation of trophoblasts, the activation and implantation of embryos, immune tolerance, and the receptivity of the endometrium during implantation. Given their capacity to regulate up to 30 % of the human genome, miRNAs offer a promising avenue for understanding the immunopathogenesis of pregnancy complications. Recent research has detected differential expression of specific miRNAs in reproductive system pathologies.

Disruption of any of these factors can lead to implantation failure, which is a crucial determinant for a successful pregnancy. The maternal immune system must adapt to accept semi-allogenic embryos. The uterine environment becomes challenging to accept the embryo while combating foreign antigens. This requires changes in the physiology, immunology, and morphology of the endometrial tissue. The endometrial microbiome is emerging as a key contributor in modulating the maternal immune response, providing antibacterial metabolites, and creating an anaerobic environment that is favorable for the early embryo.
