“…Using blocking antibodies, we demonstrated that both DC-derived IL-12 and IL-18 are necessary for IFN-g secretion by a subpopulation of NK cells. Addition of rIL-12 to the supernatant of TNF-a/PGE2-matured DC did not result in NK-cell IFN-g production (data not shown), which indicates that both IL-12 and IL-18 are required to induce IFN-g secretion, supporting the two-signal requirement mechanism described by Mailliard et al [6]. Notably, the IFN-g-producing NK-cell population contained both NK cells with an intermediate and with a high expression of CD56, which is remarkable since the CD56 bright subpopulation has been described as the cytokine-producing population after NK-DC interaction [38].…”

“…Recent studies suggest that the interplay between NK cells and DC, the specialized antigenpresenting cell of the innate immune system [2], is critical in shaping the adaptive immune response [3]. This concept originates from several lines of evidence including: the discovery of NK cells colocalizing with DC in the T-cell areas of lymph nodes [4,5], the coupling of NK-cell recruitment to lymph nodes with the induction of more potent Th1 skewing [3], and the identification of NK-cell subpopulations with helper properties [6]. Although the exact mechanisms of NK-DC interaction remain to be elucidated, increasing evidence supports the importance of bidirectional NK-DC crosstalk [7,8].…”

Besides their role in destruction of altered self-cells, NK cells have been shown to potentiate T-cell responses by interacting with DC. To take advantage of NK-DC crosstalk in therapeutic DC-based vaccination for infectious diseases and cancer, it is essential to understand the biology of this crosstalk. We aimed to elucidate the in vitro mechanisms responsible for NK-cell recruitment and activation by DC during infection. To mimic bacterial infection, DC were exposed to a membrane fraction of Klebsiella pneumoniae, which triggers TLR2/4. DC matured with these bacterial fragments can actively recruit NK cells in a CCR5-dependent manner. An additional mechanism of DC-induced NK-cell recruitment is characterized by the induction of CCR7 expression on CD56 dim CD16 1 NK cells after physical contact with membrane fraction of K. pneumoniae-matured DC, resulting in an enhanced migratory responsiveness to the lymph node-associated chemokine CCL19. Bacterial fragment-matured DC do not only mediate NK-cell migration but also meet the prerequisites needed for augmentation of NK-cell cytotoxicity and IFN-c production, the latter of which contributes to Th1 polarization.Key words: CCR5 .

Although the exact mechanisms of NK-DC interaction remain to be elucidated, increasing evidence supports the importance of bidirectional NK-DC crosstalk [7,8].On the one hand, NK-DC crosstalk is characterized by the capacity of activated NK cells to induce DC maturation with elevated IL-12p70 production and subsequently an increased capacity to induce Th1 and CTL responses [9]. This NK-induced DC maturation depends at least in part on soluble factors such as and as well as on engagement of the natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 30 [12]. Moreover, NK cells control the quality of the adaptive immune response by natural cytotoxicity triggering receptor 30-mediated lysis of immature or inadequately matured DC [13], enabling only fully mature DC to migrate into lymph nodes and subsequently prime T cells. On the other hand, DC are able to induce NK-cell proliferation, augmentation of cytotoxicity and cytokine secretion [8]. The DC-induced modulati...

“…Furthermore, we observed differential expression of ICAM-1 and LFA-1, which is consistent with the functional divergent activities of CD56 bright and CD56 dim subsets [7]. According to its cytotoxic effector function [41], CD56 dim from PB and PF expressed high LFA-1 levels, whereas NK-mediated helper functions may be related to the high ICAM-1 levels on CD56 bright [42]. Accordingly, IFN-g production was also ascribed to CD56 bright subset [10].…”

NK cells from tuberculous pleurisy express high ICAM‐1 levels and exert stimulatory effect on local T cells

et al. 2009

Tuberculous pleurisy, one of the most common manifestations of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, is characterized by a T-cell-mediated hypersensitivity reaction along with a Th1 immune profile. In this study, we investigated functional cross-talk among T and NK cells in human tuberculous pleurisy. We found that endogenously activated pleural fluidderived NK cells express high ICAM-1 levels and induce T-cell activation ex vivo through ICAM-1. Besides, upon in vitro stimulation with monokines and PAMP, resting peripheral blood NK cells increased ICAM-1 expression leading to cellular activation and Th1 polarization of autologous T cells. Furthermore, these effects were abolished by anti-ICAM-1 Ab. Hence, NK cells may contribute to the adaptive immune response by a direct cellcontact-dependent mechanism in the context of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.Key words: ICAM-1 . NK cells . Pleurisy . Th1 . Tuberculosis Supporting Information available online IntroductionPleuritis is the most frequent clinical manifestation of extrapulmonary tuberculosis (TB) among young adults, and is normally considered a relatively benign form of disease since it may resolve without chemotherapy [1]. Tuberculous pleurisy is caused by a severe delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in response to the rupture of a subpleural focus of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection, but it may also be developed as a complication of primary pulmonary TB [2,3]. This pleural effusion is characterized by a strong granulomatous inflammatory response to Mtb together with high levels of . NK cells are CD56 1 CD16 1/À /CD3 À CD19 À lymphocytes of the innate immune system whose function is controlled by an array of germline-encoded activator/inhibitory receptors [5,6]. Two subsets of NK cells have been identified in humans according to CD56 expression differing in phenotype and function, and also in terms of chemokine receptors and adhesion molecules expression [7,8,9]. Functionally, CD56 bright cells are effective cytokine producers, whereas CD56 dim cells are efficient effectors of natural and Ab-dependent target cell lysis. Recently, we have described that an endogenously activated pleural fluid NK (PF-NK) population is a major source of IFN-g in response to Mtb [10,11]. Consistently, PF-NK are enriched in CD56 bright cells, as has been observed in other chronic inflammatory sites [12,13] or in tumor-affected tissues [14]. Together with the classical NK functions (i.e. cytotoxicity and cytokine production), novel skills have recently been described in niche-specific and in vitro-activated human NK cells. These unconventional capabilities include [16,17,18] and direct pathogen recognition [19,20]. In this regard, a novel innate immune cell population called Interferon-producing killer dendritic cells has been recently described in mice [21,22].ICAM-1/CD54 is the major ligand of costimulatory a L b 2 integrin (CD11a/CD18), commonly known as lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA-1) [23,24]. The surface enhancement of ICAM-1 on endothelial, APC and...

“…Mature NK cells cultured in the presence of cytokines express markers such as HLA-DR [8] and NKp44 [23] that were downregulated during progression of pre-NK cells to more mature developmental stages [19]. Furthermore, CD56 dim upregulate CD56 after activation by cytokines [24], downregulate CD16 after contact with target cells [25] and acquire receptors to home to lymph nodes after stimulation with IL-18 [26]. Hence, classifying activated NK cells by differentiation stage is cumbersome.…”

We studied early NK-cell recovery in 29 allografted patients undergoing different lymphoreductive regimens. Already at 2 wk after graft take, the number of NK cells had reached (supra)normal levels but NK-cell subsets were skewed. The number of CD56 dim CD16 bright NK cells was low and correlated strongly with the level of hematopoiesis, whereas the number of the more abundant NK cells expressing high levels of CD56 did not. Post-transplant CD56 bright NK cells (ptCD56 bright ) differed from CD56 bright NK cells in normal controls (CD56 bright ) in being HLA-DR-and perforin-positive, CCR7 À , CD27 À , CD127 À and mostly c-kit À . CD56 bright from normal controls stimulated by IL-15 in vitro (NK ) acquired all the characteristics distinguishing CD56 bright from ptCD56 bright . IL-2 exerted similar effects. Moreover, when cultured without cytokines, ptCD56 bright , CD56 bright and NK responded similarly by upregulating CD127 and c-kit but not CCR7. IL-12 stimulated IFN-c production in ptCD56 bright , whereas CD56 bright responded only to IL-12 plus IL-15. Hence, ptCD56 bright have all the features of cytokine-stimulated CD56 bright . Because only patients with low numbers of T cells had high numbers of ptCD56 bright , we conclude that ptCD56 bright are activated CD56 bright that expand while competing with T cells for the elevated post-transplant level of IL-15.Key words: HSC transplantation . Human . Natural killer cells IntroductionIn humans, most lymphocytes without rearranged antigenreceptors express CD56 and are referred to as NK cells. Accordingly, they can be identified on the basis of a CD3 À CD56 1 phenotype [1][2][3], which excludes the subpopulation of T cells that coexpress CD56. However, this long-established definition of NK cells may be inadequate because CD3 À CD56 1 lymphocytes are heterogeneous and capable of exerting various effector functions other than killing cells with altered expression of self-MHC. Furthermore, many CD3 À CD56 1 lymphocytes do not lyse NK-cell targets when tested ex vivo and only acquire lytic activity after in vitro stimulation with cytokines. In fact, the large granular CD3 À CD56 1 lymphocytes with ''natural'' cytotoxicity that express low levels of CD56 (CD56 dim ) and high levels of the Fcg-receptor type III (CD16) [1][2][3][4] represent only a minority of all of the CD3 À CD56 1 lymphocytes in the body [5,6]. CD56 dim that provide first-line defense against viruses [7,8] 3246less abundant population of NK cells in peripheral blood expresses much higher levels of CD56 (CD56 bright ), the receptor for IL-7 (CD127), the receptor for SCF c-kit, the lymph nodehoming receptor CCR7, and displays only little cytolytic activity [3][4][5][9][10][11][12]. Approximately, half of the CD56 bright in peripheral blood express CD27, a marker virtually absent from CD56 dim [13][14][15]. Hence, CD56 bright in peripheral blood are identical or closely related to the NK cells residing in secondary lymphoid organs (SLO) that produce cytokines to guide the adaptive immune response [4-6,...
