“…Recent studies have characterized the transcriptional profile of the first trimester (T1) placenta; however, the phenotypic and functional diversity of chorionic villous immune cells at term (T3) remain poorly understood.MethodsTo address this knowledge gap, immune cells from human chorionic villous tissues obtained from full-term, uncomplicated pregnancies were deeply phenotyped using a combination of flow cytometry, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq, CITE-seq) and chromatin accessibility profiling (snATAC-seq).ResultsOur results indicate that, relative to the first trimester, the frequency of fetal macrophages (HBC, proliferating HBC) is significantly reduced, whereas that of infiltrating maternal monocytes/macrophages (PAMM1b, PAMM1a, PAMM2, MAC_1) increased in T3. …”
