Abstract Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine the uterine cavity microbial composition in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA) patients and to understand the correlation between URSA and uterine cavity microbiota. Methods Using the double-lumen embryo transfer tubes to collect uterine cavity fluid samples from pregnant women in their first trimester. 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted to analysis the composition and abundance of the microbiota in samples. Results We enrolled 10 URSA cases and 28 induced miscarriage cases in their early pregnancy. Microbial communities were detected in all samples of URSA group (100%, n = 10) vs. none of control group (0%, n=28). Two most dominant microbes are Lactobacillus and Curvibacter. Conclusion This study showed Lactobacillus and Curvibacter dominated colonizing in uterine cavity of URSA patients during early pregnancy and associated with URSA. Changes of dominant microbiota will lead to bad pregnancy outcome.

Abstract Context Dysregulated immune hemostasis occurs in unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (URSA). Synthesized by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) and cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) promotes regulatory T-cell differentiation and regulates immune hemostasis; yet, its role in URSA is elusive. Objective To determine if H2S plays a role in early pregnancy and if dysregulated H2S signaling results in recurrent spontaneous abortion. Design First trimester placenta villi and decidua were collected from normal and URSA pregnancies. Protein expression was examined by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting. Human trophoblast HTR8/SVneo and JEG3 cells were treated with H2S donors; HTR8/SVneo cells were transfected with CBS ribonucleic acid interference (RNAi) or complementary deoxyribonucleic acid. Cell migration and invasion were determined by transwell assays; trophoblast transcriptomes were determined by RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). Wild-type, CBS-deficient, and CBA/J × DBA/2 mice were treated with CBS and CSE inhibitors or H2S donors to determine the role of H2S in early pregnancy in vivo. Results CBS and CSE proteins showed cell-specific expressions, but only CBS decreased in the villous cytotrophoblast in URSA versus normal participants. H2S donors promoted migration and invasion and MMP-2 and VEGF expression in human placenta trophoblast cells that contain SV40 viral deoxyribonucleic acid sequences (HTR8/SVneo) and human placenta trophoblast cells (JEG3 cells), similar to forced CBS expression in HTR8/SVneo cells. The CBS-responsive transcriptomes in HTR8/SVneo cells contained differentially regulated genes (ie, interleukin-1 receptor and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2) that are associated with nuclear factor-κB-mediated inflammatory response. In vivo, dysregulated CBS/H2S signaling significantly increased embryonic resorption and decidual T-helper 1/T-helper 2 imbalance in mice, which was partially rescued by H2S donors. Conclusion CBS/H2S signaling maintains early pregnancy, possibly via regulating maternal-fetal interface immune hemostasis, offering opportunities for H2S-based immunotherapies for URSA.

SUMMARYSuccessful pregnancy in placental mammals substantially depends on the establishment of maternal immune tolerance to the semi-allogenic fetus. Disorders in this process are tightly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes including recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA). However, an in-depth understanding of the disorders from the aspect of systematic and decidual immune environment in RSA remains largely lacking. In this study, we utilized single-cell RNA-sequencing to comparably analyze the cellular and molecular signatures of decidual and peripheral leukocytes in normal and RSA pregnancies at the early stage of gestation. Integrative analysis identified 22 distinct cell clusters in total, and a dramatic difference in leukocyte subsets and molecular properties in RSA cases was revealed. Specifically, the cytotoxic properties of CD8T effector, NK, and MAIT cells in peripheral blood indicated apparently enhanced immune inflammatory status, and the subpopulation proportions and ligand-receptor interactions of the decidual leukocyte subsets demonstrated preferential immune activation in RSA patients. The molecular features, spatial distribution and the developmental trajectories of five decidual NK (dNK) subsets were illustrated. The proportion of a dNK subset responsible for fetal protection was reduced, while the ratio of another dNK subset with cytotoxic and immune-active signature was significantly increased. Notably, a unique pro-inflammatory CD56+CD16+ dNK subpopulation was substantially accumulated in RSA decidua. These findings reveal a comprehensive cellular and molecular atlas of decidual and peripheral leukocytes in human early pregnancy, which provides an in-depth insight into the immune pathogenesis for early pregnancy loss.
