Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cells present natural cytotoxicity against tumor cells, although their activity is increased after activation. NK cell activation depends on a complex intracellular signaling process mediated by activating and inhibitory receptors and the functional outcome depends on the integration of the activating and inhibitory signals received. Soluble cytokines and/or ligands on target cells bind the NK cell receptors, and hence, influence the final NK cell response: attack versus ignorance. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying NK cell activation by IL-2, a MHC-I-deficient target cell (K562)+IL-2 and an EBV-target cell (R69).

We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying NK cell activation by IL-2, a MHC-I-deficient target cell (K562)+IL-2 and an EBV-target cell (R69). PBLs from 4 different donors were activated by 100 U/ml IL-2; K562+IL-2 or R69 cells. After 5 days we obtained RNA and miRNA from naïve NK cells or from NK cells activated with the above mentioned stimuli, with more than 90% of purity. The 16 RNA samples were used to generate cDNA libraries that were hybridized on Human Gene 1.1ST arrays (Affymetrix) and analyzed with the Affymetrix Gene Chip Command Console Software v3.0 (AGCC 3.0, Affymetrix®) and the Expression Console Software v1.1 (Affymetrix®).

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells have differential expression of inhibitory and activating receptors. NK cells that express inhibitory receptors with high binding affinity to self are considered licensed and normally functional cells, while those with low affinity are unlicensed are considered hyporesponsive. Microarray analysis was performed to better understand gene expression differences between these two subpopulations of NK cells after culturing the NK cells with IL-2 from splenocytes isolated from C57BL/6 mice and then sorting for CD3-CD122+Ly49G2+Ly49C/I- or CD3-CD122+Ly49G2-Ly49C/I+. Gene fold expression differences were compared between the Ly49G2+ and Ly49C/I+ NK cells to better understand the functional roles and characterisitics of these cells. A total of 6 samples were analyzed, 3 for the CD3-CD122+Ly49G2+Ly49C/I- NK cells and 3 for the CD3-CD122+Ly49G2-Ly49C/I+. Samples were obtained from C57BL/5 splenocytes that were T cells depleted through anti-Thy1.2 and complement mediated depletion and cultured for 7 days with IL-2. Fold changes greater than 1.5 were recorded.

Project description:Liver transplantation (LT) is a definitive treatment for end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular cancer. As donor-recipient HLA matching is not employed, there is potential for natural killer (NK) cell-mediated alloreactivity. Here we report that recipient NK cells exhibit a downregulated phenotype with reduced expression of activating receptors NKp30 and NKp46. We found associated hypofunctionality, with impaired NK cell cytotoxicity, degranulation and IFN-gamma production. Gene expression analysis using microarray and quantitative PCR identified significant downregulation of STAT-4 in LT with associated reduction in miR-155, a microRNA target of STAT-4 and a key regulator of NK differentiation. These data indicate that LT induces recipient NK cell tolerance through altered peripheral maturation at a step prior to the acquisition of inhibitory receptors for HLA class I.

Project description:Natural Killer cells (NK), a major constituent of innate immune system, have the ability to kill the transformed and infected cells without prior sensitization; can be put to immunotherapeutic use against various malignancies. NK cells discriminate between normal cells and transformed cells via a balance of inhibitory and activating signals induced by interactions between NK cell receptors and target cell ligands. Present study investigates whether expansion of NK cells could augment their anti-myeloma (MM) activity. For NK cell expansion, peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy donors and myeloma patients were co-cultured with irradiated K562 cells transfected with 4-1BBL and membrane-bound IL15 (K562-mb15-41BBL). A genome-wide profiling approach was performed to identify gene expression signature in expanded NK (ENK) cells and non-expanded NK cells isolated from healthy donors and myeloma patients. A specific set of genes involved in proliferation, migration, adhesion, cytotoxicity, and activation were up regulated post expansion, also confirmed by flow cytometry. Exp-NK cells killed both allogeneic and autologous primary MM cells more avidly than non-exp-NK cells in vitro. Multiple receptors, particularly NKG2D, natural cytotoxicity receptors, and DNAM-1 contributed to target lysis, via a perforin mediated mechanism. In summary, vigorous expansion and high anti-MM activity both in vitro and in vivo provide the rationale for testing exp-NK cells in a clinical trial for high risk MM. Differential gene expression profile in expanded natural killer (ENK) cells and non-expanded natural killer (NK) cells from healthy donors and myeloma patients Eight healthy donor and eight myeloma patients were used in the study. Non-expanded natural killer (NK) cells were isolated from PBMCs of healthy donors and myeloma patients. Expanded natural killer (ENK) cells were generated from same set of samples as mentioned in expansion protocol. All ENK and NK cells were used for gene expression profiling.

Project description:As the principal effector cell population of the innate immune system, NK cells may make critical contributions to natural, immune-mediated control of HIV-1 replication. Using genome-wide assessments of activating and inhibitory epigenetic chromatin features, we here demonstrate that cytotoxic NK (cNK) cells from elite controllers (ECs) frequently display elevated activating histone modifications at the IL-2/IL-15 receptor β chain and the BCL-2 gene loci. These epigenetic changes translated into increased responsiveness of cNK cells to paracrine IL-15 secretion, which coincided with higher levels of IL-15 transcription by myeloid dendritic cells in ECs. The distinct immune crosstalk between these two innate immune cell populations resulted in improved IL-15-dependent cNK cell survival, paired with a metabolic profile biased towards IL-15-mediated glycolytic activities. Together, these results suggest that cNK cells from ECs display an epigenetically-programmed IL-15 response signature, and support the emerging role of innate immune pathways in natural, drug-free control of HIV-1.
