Uterine natural killer (uNK) cells are the dominant lymphocytes of pregnant mammals' uterus. Studies have identified four differentiation stage of mouse uNK cells based on Dolichos biflorus lectin cytochemistry, and their distribution showed preferential domain in the uterus through out the pregnancy. This work was done to investigate the expression of alpha5, alpha6, and beta7 integrins on uNK cells and their ligands distribution. Section of mouse uterus from sixth to seventeenth gestational days were submitted to immunocytochemistry and positive reactions for alpha5, alpha6, and beta7 integrins were found on uNK from eighth to tenth gestational days but not after twelfth gestational days. Fibronectin reactions were seemed from sixth to tenth gestational days around uNK from the myometrium and endometrium close to the myometrium. No reaction for fibronectin was seen in the decidualized and nondecidualized endometrium near the placenta. Laminin reaction was seen just in the antimesometrial side. beta7 integrin seems to be the active receptor to bind with VCAM-1 or MAdCAM-1 of endothelial cells, promoting the uNK cross through the vessels. The absence of laminin in an uNK domain suggests these cells are not dependent of laminin and alpha6 integrin for their establishment. However, fibronectin seems to support uNK migration, proliferation, differentiation, and survival in the uterus by binding with alpha5 integrin. The loss of alpha5 integrin ligation by the down regulation of fibronectin could inhibits these events and further studies are need to investigate whether unligated alpha5 can actively and initiate apoptosis, maybe in a caspase 8-dependent way that has been called integrin-mediated death.
