We have examined noninduced cytotoxicity of mouse gut associated and peripheral lymphoid tissues for a wide variety of syngeneic as well as allogeneic cell lines and lymphoblasts. Lymphoid cells from Peyer's patches were found to lyse these targets in a 3-hr chromium release assay whereas lymphoid cells from intestinal mucosa, mesenteric or peripheral lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus did not. The variety of targets toward which Peyer's patch cells were cytotoxic established the latter as nonspecific and H-2 unrestricted. The cell responsible for the lytic event was identified as possessing Thy 1.2 and Ia surface antigens. This naturally cytotoxic T cell (NCTC) was found to be adherent to nylon-wool but not to plastic plates. Although both natural killer cell (NK) and non-NK targets served as targets for the NCTC, the latter were further differentiable from NK cells by lack of asialo GM1 surface marker, which is present on NK cells. In addition, NCTC remained fully functional in mice given either of the drugs cyclophosphamide or cortisone. Each of these drugs, in the doses used, markedly reduced poly(I:C)-induced NK activity. Thus, NCTC differs from NK on the basis of the spectrum of targets against which it is functional, phenotypic surface markers, insusceptibility to stimulation with poly(I:C), and insensitivity to diminution by the immunosuppressive drugs cyclophosphamide and hydrocortisone. Since NCTC is a Thy 1.2 antigen-bearing cell and is detectable in a 3-hr cytotoxic assay, it also differs from the natural cytotoxic (NC) cell. NC lacks the Thy 1.2 marker and becomes detectable only in an 18-hr cytotoxic assay. Thus, NCTC is neither an NK nor an NC cell. We have discussed the possibility that the three naturally occurring cells may be related by being dedifferentiated descendants of an antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL). Alternatively, since NCTC is confined to an anatomical site prone to ample antigenic exposure and is still identifiable as a T cell, it may be in linear transition from the CTL to the NK or NC stages. 相似文献

Natural killer (NK) cells are active in host defence against tumors. In order to determine if NK cells have the capacity to lyse human lung cancer cells, we evaluated blood NK cell activity against human lung carcinoma lines representing each of the commonest histological types of lung cancer, NCI-H157 (large cell), LICM107 and NCI-H146 (small cell), NCI-H226 (squamous cell), and LICM26 (adeno), and compared the results to their activity against a standard NK-sensitive target, K562, using a 16-hr 51Cr-release assay. At effector to target (E:T) ratios up to 50:1, NK activity was very low against each of the lung cancer cell lines compared to the K562 cells (NCI-H157 10 +/- 2%, LICM107 12 +/- 2%, NCI-H146 14 +/- 5%, NCI-H226 8 +/- 5%, and LICM26 7 +/- 3%, compared to K562 60 +/- 3%, P less than 0.001, for each compared to K562 cells). Recombinant interleukin 2 (IL-2) produced a dose-dependent augmentation of NK activity against each of the lung cancer cell lines, with doses as low as 0.25 U/ml being effective. The highest level of boosting was seen against NCI-H157 cells where NK activity (E:T, 50:1, IL-2, 250 U/ml) increased from 9 +/- 2 to 56 +/- 7%, P less than 0.001). Only brief exposure to IL-2 was necessary for augmentation to occur, with as little as 5 min being required for activation, although increased exposure times produced increased levels of augmentation. NK cells appeared to be the IL-2-responsive lytic cell population in these experiments as Leu 11b-depleted lymphocytes expressed little IL-2-mediated augmentation of activity against these target cells, and most of this IL-2-mediated augmentation of activity was located in the large granular lymphocyte-enriched fraction of the lymphocyte population. We conclude that normal blood NK cell activity against human lung cancer cell lines is low but that this activity can be markedly augmented by brief exposure of NK cells to low doses of recombinant IL-2, suggesting a potential role for IL-2 in the immunotherapy of human lung cancer. 相似文献

Splenocytes obtained from normal mice (BALB/c nude, BALB/c, C3H, C57Bl/6) and from mice bearing lung or pulmonary carcinomas were propagated for 1–12 months in the presence of crude or mitogen-depleted T-cell growth factor (TCGF). Clones from several TCGF-propagated lymphoid cell lines were established by limiting dilution or the soft agar techniques. All the cultured lines and the majority of the clonal populations derived from them exhibited strong cytotoxic activity in vitro (51Cr release assay) toward a variety of syngeneic and allogeneic tumor target cells, both freshly obtained and passaged in culture, and both lymphoid and solid in origin, and including targets usually resistant to fresh NK cells. Considerable cytotoxic activity was also observed with several rat and human cultured tumor lines. Only low cytotoxic activity was detected against normal lymphoid mouse cells. Cloned populations generally exhibited more restricted target cytotoxicity than the parental cultured lines, and the pattern of reactivity varied among the clones. Of the clones tested for surface markers, all were positive for Thy 1.2, T200, and asialo GM1 and had strong binding to peanut agglutinin (PNA), all had undetectable receptors for IgG or IgM, and some were positive for Lyt 2. The cytotoxic activity was augmented by pretreatment of the effector cells with interferon and inhibited by the presence of mannose or galactose during the assay. Several clones were capable of mediating antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and lectin-induced cellular cytotoxicity (LICC), and produced relatively large quantities of interferon and lymphotoxinlike material. The findings indicated continuous culturing in TCGF of previously antigen-nonstimulated mouse lymphocytes selects for the growth of at least two distinct populations with activated NK activity, one reacting preferentially with lymphoid tumor target cells (designated CNK-L), and the second reacting effectively with both lymphoid and solid tumor targets (designated CNK-SL). Both populations have several features of both T lymphocytes and NK cells. 相似文献

In order to clarify the function of human S100 beta-positive T-cells, S100 beta-positive T-leukemia cells (S100 beta TLC) were examined in vitro. S100 beta TLC were obtained from the peripheral blood of a patient with S100 beta-positive T-cell leukemia and enriched by an E-rosetting method. Two dimensional flow cytometric analysis indicated that the vast majority of the E-positive fraction were S100 beta TLC expressing CD3 and CD8 antigens. Although S100 beta TLC expressed CD3 antigen, they were negative for the alpha/beta and gamma/delta T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) defined by monoclonal antibodies (mabs) WT-31 and delta TCS-1, respectively. It was speculated that S100 beta TLC initially expressed alpha/beta TCR but lost it during malignant transformation. When S100 beta TLC were cultured for 24 h, they acquired cytotoxic activity towards various NK-sensitive cell lines including K-562, Molt-3 and CEM-CCLF, but did not exhibit lysing activity towards NK-resistant cell lines including Raji, Daudi and MT-1. Despite the NK-activity of cultured S100 beta TLC, they lacked the morphological features of large granular lymphocytes (LGL). S100 beta TLC did not exhibit lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity. When S100 beta TLC were cocultivated with NK-sensitive cells or NK-resistant cells, they selectively bound to NK-sensitive cells, indicating that they lysed target cells by cell-to-cell contact. The finding that S100 beta TLC lacked TCR molecules and their NK activity was not inhibited by mabs reactive with the CD3-TCR complex indicated that the CD3-TCR complex was not involved in their target recognition.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Natural killer (NK) cells are present in mice with severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) 总被引:64,自引:0,他引:64

Spleen cells from C.B- 17 scid mice with severe combined immunodeficiency disease exhibit natural killer cell (NK) activity against YAC lymphoma targets in a standard 4-hr 51Cr release assay. The cytolytic activity is demonstrable only at high effector to target ratios but can be augmented at least sevenfold by the interferon inducer poly I:C. The pattern of target lysis is specific, because splenocytes from poly I:C-primed C.B-17 scid mice lyse NK-sensitive YAC cells and not the insensitive P815 mastocytoma. The presence of several NK-associated antigens on C.B-17 scid splenocytes was tested by pretreating cells with the appropriate antiserum plus complement before testing for NK activity. The results indicate that a proportion of NK effectors in C.B-17 scid mice bear surface NK 2.1 and Asialo GM1 but are negative for Thy-1. 相似文献

The cytotoxic test in vitro with the use of xenogeneic target cells of human myeloma, strain K-562, labeled with 51Cr has demonstrated natural cytotoxicity of lymphoid cells from noninbred Syrian hamsters. This cytotoxicity occurs at the cost of non-adherent splenocytes. NK may be isolated over the gradient density of ficoll (1.078), selective for large granular lymphocytes. To detect the maximal lytic activity of NK from Syrian hamsters in the cytotoxic test in vitro, they should be brought into 10-12 hour contact with sensitive target cells K-562. In Syrian hamsters, the highest natural cytotoxicity is shown by the cells of the blood and spleen. In the bone marrow and thymus, it is little pronounced and is virtually absent from the peripheral lymph nodes. 相似文献

The modulation of NK activity by muramyl dipeptides derivatives against Ab (amelanotic) Bomirski melanoma and human erythroleukemia
K562 cells was studied in vitro. The stimulatory effect was observed for 3 of 7 muramyl dipeptides: MDP(L-Ala)C921, MDPC857
and L18-MDP(Ala) in relation to cytotoxic activity of NK cells obtained from peripheral blood and spleen of healthy and Ab
Bomirski melanoma bearing hamsters. An increased of cytotoxic activity NK cells isolated from animals before and during the
transplantable phase of the tumor against K562 was found. A similar stimulation was received for NK cells obtained from animals
against their own melanoma cells. The most significant influence of examined MDP derivatives on the cytotoxic activity of
NK cells were obtained from animals between 10 to 12 days of tumor growth. The extent of the modulation of cytotoxic activity
of NK cells was dependent on its initial value both in healthy control and Ab Bomirski melanoma bearing hamsters. If natural
cytotoxic activity was high the stimulatory effect of the examined MDP derivatives was only slightly expressed. 相似文献

Studies have been performed on the in vitro immunologic effects of homogeneous recombinant human leukocyte interferon, IFLrA. Large granular lymphocytes, enriched for natural killer (NK) cell activity, were pretreated wtih IFLrA or natural interferon preparations and then tested for augmentation of NK activity and of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytoxicity (ADCC). Monocytes were tested for cytolytic and cytostatic activity in 48–72 hr radioisotopic assays performed in the presence or absence of interferon. Treatment with IFLrA caused significant augmentation of NK, ADCC, and monocyte-mediated cytotoxic activities. Even 10 units of IFLrA induced augmentation of NK activity, and 100 units or more boosted monocyte-mediated activity. The effects in each of these assays were species-specific, with no detectable effects on the activity of mouse effector cells. These results indicate that homogeneous recombinant interferon has potent in vitro immunomodulating effects and thus provide a basis for carefully examining the in vivo effects of this protein on host defenses in forthcoming clinical trials with cancer patients. 相似文献

NK-cell cytotoxic activity and their relative distributions were studied in the spleen of female Lurcher mice with spontaneous
olivopontocerebellar degeneration (C3H) and female athymic nu/nu mice (BALB/c) influenced by 3-acetylpyridine (the neurotoxin
causing selective degeneration of cerebellar and inferior olive neurons in some rodent species). The congenital olivopontocerebellar
degeneration in Lurcher mice is followed by only an insignificant increase of NK-cell cytotoxic activity (1.2 times). On the
other hand, the congenital thymic dysgenesis in nu/nu mice is compensated by a substantial increase in cytotoxic activity
(19.4-fold). The administration of 3-acetylpyridine (including prevalent neuronal destruction particularly in Lurcher mutants)
caused a decrease of NK-cell cytotoxic activities in all groups of mice (in Lurcher and C3H controls to 60 and 50%, respectively,
and in nu/nu and BALB/c controls to 25 and 60%). Relative distributions of NK-cells in spleens of non-influenced and influenced
animals were not significantly changed. Some fundamental immune mechanisms, such as the NK-cell cytotoxic activity, were demonstrated
to be controlled by congenitally determined or artificially induced changes in both the nervous and the immune systems. 相似文献

A recently described monoclonal mouse IgG1 antibody, NK-9, reacts with practically all peripheral blood large granular lymphocytes (LGL). It also detects a population of non-LGL lymphoid cells that harbors precursor cells for both nonspecific activated killer (AK) and allospecific killer cells. In the bone marrow, the NK-9-positive population represented 9% of all nucleated cells, which was 40% of all lymphoid cells. This population was initially noncytotoxic, but when appropriately stimulated the NK-9-positive cells gave rise to AK and allospecific cytotoxic cells, whereas no such activity could be generated from the NK-9-negative cells. When the NK-9-positive cells were cultured with high concentrations of T cell growth factor, the results were cultures consisting of over 80% cells with LGL morphology and exhibiting effective cytotoxicity against K562 targets. It is concluded that the precursor cells for various modes of nonspecific and antigen-specific cytotoxicity are related and appear to be harbored in the NK-9-positive pool in the bone marrow. 相似文献

Natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytolysis of Plasmodium falciparum-infected human red blood cells in vitro 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The ability of human NK cells to inhibit the growth in vitro of the asexual blood stages of Plasmodium falciparum was tested. Purified NK cells from donors with no prior exposure to malaria significantly inhibited parasite growth after 48 hours of co-culture in the presence of human immune serum. This inhibition was completely abrogated by pre-treatment of the NK cells with an anti-CD95 (anti-Fas) monoclonal antibody and human Fas-Fc soluble protein. The level of growth inhibition was also substantially reduced by pre-treatment with an anti-CD56 antibody. These two antibodies caused reductions, to varying levels, of the amounts of NK cell-derived granzyme B (GrB) and pro-inflammatory cytokines, but only the anti-CD95 antibody affected the production of soluble Fas ligand (sFasL). Direct destruction of parasite-infected red cells by NK cells, in the absence of serum, was also observed in a standard 51Cr cytotoxicity test, during which N-carboxybenzoxy-L-lysine thiobenzil ester (BLT esterase) activity, which catalyzes serine protease granule release, was detected. The results obtained are indicative of a novel mechanism of NK cell-mediated cytotoxic activity against Plasmodium falciparum-infected red cells, which is mediated in part by both Fas and by GrB. 相似文献

Natural cytotoxic (NC) cell activity in basophilic cells: release of NC-specific cytotoxic factor by IgE receptor triggering 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A murine interleukin 3 (IL 3)-dependent basophilic mast cell line, PT-18 (A17), and a rat basophilic leukemic cell line, RBL-2H3, were shown to be capable of selective natural cytotoxic (NC) but not natural killer (NK) cell activity. The basophilic cell types could also be augmented in their NC activity by bridging of their surface IgE receptors. IgE-mediated triggering of the basophilic cells was accomplished by coating the cells with IgE and exposing the IgE-bound cells to specific antigen or to anti-IgE monoclonal antibody. Another method of triggering was by direct binding of basophilic cells to anti-IgE receptor monoclonal antibody. Basophilic cells, triggered by these methods, not only displayed increased NC activity but also released a soluble factor capable of selectively lysing NC tumor targets, WEHI-164, but not three of the NK-sensitive targets, YAC-1, RLM1, and RBL-5. Normal C3H/HeJ mouse embryonic fibroblasts were also not lysed. Dose response and time course of the cytotoxic factor release from triggered RBL-2H3 cells were similar to those of tritiated serotonin release. As with serotonin or histamine release, the NC-specific cytotoxic factor (NCCF) was not released in the absence of extracellular calcium. Therefore, NCCF appears to be released along with other mediators during the triggering of basophilic cells by bridging of IgE receptors. The m.w. of the native form of this factor, determined by a gel filtration method, was about 43,000. 相似文献

Recent findings have indicated an imbalance of immune responsiveness in primary IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Thus natural killer (NK) cell frequency and NK cytotoxicity were evaluated in fifteen IgAN patients. CD8+, CD11+, CD56+ and CD57+ lymphocyte percentages in IgAN individuals fell within normal values, while a significant decrease of CD16+ cells was observed in the same group of patients. In contrast, NK activity overlapped that seen in controls as assessed by an agarose-single cell cytotoxic assay. To further investigate the discrepancy between CD16+ cell level and NK cytotoxic activity in IgAN, the proportion of CD11+ CD57+, CD56+ CD16+ and CD57+ CD16+ lymphocytes was determined. In spite of the unaffected CD56+ CD16+ cell frequency, IgAN subjects exhibited a significant decrease of CD11+ CD57+ and CD57+ CD16+ lymphocyte percentages in comparison to controls. It is suggested that a redistribution of NK lymphocyte subsets occurs in IgAN. This may have an important role in the impairment of the immunoregulatory network. 相似文献

Chimeric antigen receptor-modified T (CAR-T) cells have brought a major breakthrough in tumor immunotherapy. As research continues to develop, CAR-T therapies have shown certain limitations, such as graft-versus-host reaction and the long time required to generate CAR-T cells. Natural killer (NK) cells, as the first line of defense against pathogens and cancer cells, belong to the innate immune system and have the advantage of being able to replace T cells, and can be used to prepare engineered chimeric antigen receptor-modified NK (CAR-NK) cells. The biological characteristics of CAR-NK cells, their sources, and the latest research progress and prospects for tumor treatment in China and worldwide are presented in this review. 相似文献

Human lipoprotein lipase (LPL), in a dose dependent fashion, significantly inhibited spontaneous human natural killer (NK) cells, but not lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cytotoxic activity against bovine pulmonary endothelial cells. The effect was dependent on endothelial heparan sulfate (HS) sites, since heparitinase reverted it. When HS is added before LPL, NK and LAK cytotoxicity are markedly reduced. Endothelial and NK cell priming, with LPL and HS+LPL, significantly induced CD40 and CD154 expression, respectively. Furthermore, CD40 expression was inversely proportional to lytic units (R2 = 0.9, P < 0.001). Treating endothelial cells simultaneously with indomethacin, CD154 fusion protein, and Wortmanin prevented the CD40 effect increasing xenograft rejection. LPL and HS+LPL protect bovine endothelial cells from NK cytotoxicity by inducing CD40, CD154 expression, and secretion of soluble factors. The high, non-modulated expression of adhesion receptors and the low number of HS sites account for the minor effect of CD40 in LAK cytotoxic responses against bovine endothelial cells. 相似文献

The NK cell functional capacity of first trimester human decidua against K562 targets was assessed in a 3-hr CRA. Collagenase dispersal combined with plastic adherence, nylon wool passage, and density gradient centrifugation yielded NKH-1 (Leu 19) positive enriched decidual large granular lymphocyte fraction (mean 75% positive). Decidual effectors displayed reduced lytic activity compared with autologous PB effectors at every effector:target ratio but this difference in cytotoxicity was abolished by short-term culture before the CRA. Decidual effectors treated with 50 units rIL-2 showed increased lytic activity compared to untreated decidual cells. By FACS analysis the majority of NKH-1 positive decidual effectors were CD3 and CD16 negative which corresponds with a minority PB NK population. The implications of a population of functional NK cells in early pregnancy decidua for the materno-fetal relationship is discussed. 相似文献

The appearance of natural killer (NK) cells, i.e., cells that can lyse tumor-derived target cells without intentional immunization, was studied during regeneration after a sublethal dose (300 mg/kg) of cyclophosphamide (Cy). It was found that NK activity started to increase in parallel with the number of cells in the spleen, reaching normal levels 8 to 9 days after Cy injection. The early appearing NK cells differed, however, from the NK cells of the normal spleen; all the activity was abolished by treatment with a monoclonal anti-Thy-1 antibody plus complement (C). The early regenerating population contained cells that could given rise in vitro, in the presence of interleukin 2 (IL 2), to higher amounts of NK-active cells than cells of a normal spleen. Pretreatment with anti-Thy-1 (plus C) did not inhibit the formation of these in vitro NK-active cells, indicating that they were not derived from these Thy-1+ NK cells. The NK cells formed in vitro expressed both the asialo GM1 and the Thy-1 antigens. These data suggest that i) the expression of the Thy-1 antigen on NK cells is connected to their stage of maturation or to the rate of proliferation, and ii) the precursors for the in vitro activated NK cells are not NK-active cells themselves. 相似文献

Human organ-specific microvascular endothelial cells (ECs) were established and used in the present study to investigate their susceptibility to natural killer cell line (NKL)-induced lysis. Our data indicate that although IL-2-stimulated NKL (NKL2) cells adhered to the human peripheral (HPLNEC.B3), mesenteric lymph node (HMLNEC), brain (HBrMEC), and lung (HLMEC) and skin (HSkMEC.2) ECs, they significantly killed these cells quite differently. A more pronounced lysis of OSECs was also observed when IL-2-stimulated, purified peripheral blood NK cells were used as effector cells. In line with the correlation observed between adhesion pattern and the susceptibility to NKL2-mediated killing, we demonstrated using different chelators that the necessary adhesion step was governed by an Mg(2+)-dependent, but Ca(2+)-independent, mechanism as opposed to the subsequent Ca(2+)-dependent killing. To identify the cytotoxic pathway used by NKL2 cells, the involvement of the classical and alternate pathways was examined. Blocking of the Ca(2+)-dependent cytotoxicity pathway by EGTA/MgCl(2) significantly inhibited endothelial target cell killing, suggesting a predominant role for the perforin/granzyme pathway. Furthermore, using confocal microscopy, we demonstrated that the interaction between NKL2 effectors and ECs induced cytochrome c release and Bid translocation in target cells, indicating an involvement of the mitochondrial pathway in NKL2-induced EC death. In addition, although all tested cells were sensitive to the cytotoxic action of TNF, no susceptibility to TRAIL or anti-Fas mAb was observed. The present studies emphasize that human NK cell cytotoxicity toward ECs may be a potential target to block vascular injury. 相似文献
