In this study, cytometry by time of flight indicated that the frequencies of memory-like Th17 cells (CD45RA−CCR7+IL-17A+CD4+), memory-like CD8+ T cells (CD38+CXCR3−CCR7+Helios−CD127−CD8+) and pro-inflam Macs (CD206−CD163−CD38midCD107alowCD86midHLA-DRmidCD14+) were increased, while the frequencies of anti-inflam Macs (CD206+CD163−CD86midCD33+HLA-DR+CD14+) and granulocyte myeloid-derived suppressor cells (gMDSCs, CD11b+CD15hiHLA-DRlow) were decreased in the placenta of PE compared with that of normal pregnancy (NP), but not in that of GDM or GDM&PE. The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is gestational diabetes.
