Abstract：
:The present review article compares NK cell subsets and cytokine patterns determined in the peripheral blood as well as results of functional in-vitro assays using peripheral NK cells of idiopathic recurrent miscarriage (iRM) patients with corresponding results obtained in female healthy controls and female renal transplant recipients with good long-term graft function. Immune mechanisms, inducing transplant rejection in long-term transplant recipients might also be able to induce rejection of semi-allogeneic fetal cells in patients with iRM. Consequently, the immune status of transplant recipients with good stable long-term graft function should be different from the immune status of iRM patients. iRM patients show a strong persistent cytotoxic NK cell response in the periphery. Simultaneously, immunostimulatory Th1 as well as immunosuppressive Th2 type lymphocytes in the blood are strongly activated but plasma levels of immunosuppressive Th2 type cytokines are abnormally low. In-vitro, unstimulated NK cell cultures of iRM patients show a strong spontaneous TGF-ß1 release in the supernatant but lower TGF-ß1 levels after stimulation with tumor cell line K562, suggesting strong consumption of TGF-ß1 by pre-activated NK cells of iRM patients that might contribute to the low systemic Th2 type plasma levels. iRM patients do not show a systemic switch to a Th2 type cytokine pattern and one might hypothesize that low TGF-ß plasma levels indicate low TGF-ß levels in the micromilieu immediately before fetal rejection. Persistent TGF-ß deficiency implies a persistent unfavorable micromilieu for pregnancy resulting in failing tolerance induction due to lack of TGF-ß, a condition that might contribute to iRM.
