Natural killer cell phenotype and clinical response to interferon-beta therapy in multiple sclerosis.
CD56(bright) NK cells, which may play a role in immunoregulation, are expanded in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients treated with immunomodulatory therapies such as daclizumab and interferon-beta (IFNβ). Yet, whether this NK cell subset is directly involved in the therapeutic effect is unknown. As NK receptor (NKR) expression by subsets of NK cells and CD8+ T lymphocytes is related to MS clinical...
متن کاملIL-27 Imparts Immunoregulatory Function to Human NK Cell Subsets
Interleukin-27 (IL-27) is a cytokine with multiple roles in regulating the immune response, but its effect on human CD56(bright) and CD56(dim) NK cell subsets is unknown. NK cell subsets interact with other components of the immune system, leading to cytotoxicity or immunoregulation depending on stimulating factors. We found that IL-27 treatment results in increased IL-10 and IFN-γ expression, ...
متن کاملCytotoxic NKG2C+ CD4 T cells target oligodendrocytes in multiple sclerosis.
The mechanisms whereby immune cells infiltrating the CNS in multiple sclerosis patients contribute to tissue injury remain to be defined. CD4 T cells are key players of this inflammatory response. Myelin-specific CD4 T cells expressing CD56, a surrogate marker of NK cells, were shown to be cytotoxic to human oligodendrocytes. Our aim was to identify NK-associated molecules expressed by human CD...
متن کاملAltered effector function of peripheral cytotoxic cells in COPD
BACKGROUND There is mounting evidence that perforin and granzymes are important mediators in the lung destruction seen in COPD. We investigated the characteristics of the three main perforin and granzyme containing peripheral cells, namely CD8+ T lymphocytes, natural killer (NK; CD56+CD3-) cells and NKT-like (CD56+CD3+) cells. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated a...
متن کاملCD94 surface density identifies a functional intermediary between the CD56bright and CD56dim human NK-cell subsets.
Human CD56(bright) natural killer (NK) cells possess little or no killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs), high interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production, but little cytotoxicity. CD56(dim) NK cells have high KIR expression, produce little IFN-gamma, yet display high cytotoxicity. We hypothesized that, if human NK maturation progresses from a CD56(bright) to a CD56(dim) phenotype, an intermed...
