We concluded that the major NK cell population in rhesus early pregnancy decidua are CD56(bright) CD16(+)NKp30(-) decidual NK cells, with minor CD56(dim) and CD56(neg) dNK cells.

Intracellular cytokine staining demonstrated that CD56(dim) and not CD56(bright) dNK cells are the primary interferon-gamma (IFNG) producers.

We previously reported that foetuses congenitally infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, mount an adult-like parasite-specific CD8(+) T-cell response, producing IFN-g, and present an altered NK cell phenotype, possibly reflecting a post-activation state supported by the ability of the parasite to trigger IFN-g synthesis by NK cells in vitro.

Twenty-four hours co-culture of cord blood mononuclear cells with T. cruzi trypomastigotes and IL-15 induced high accumulation of IFN-g transcripts and IFN-g release.

TNF-a, but not IL-10, was also produced.

This was associated with up-regulation of CD69 and CD54, and down-regulation of CD62L on NK cells.

The CD56(bright) NK cell subset was the major IFN-g responding subset (up to 70% IFN-g-positive cells), while CD56(dim) NK cells produced IFN-g to a lesser extent.

This work highlights the ability of T. cruzi to trigger a robust IFN-g response by IL-15-sensitized human neonatal NK cells and the important role of monocytes in it, which might perhaps partially compensate for the neonatal defects of DCs.

It suggests that monocyte- and IL-12- dependent IFN-g release by NK cells is a potentially important innate immune response pathway allowing T. cruzi to favour a type 1 immune response in neonates.
