چکیده

RESUMEN La lista de ligandos del sistema inmune que se convierten en receptores es cada día más amplia. Nuestros datos experimentales muestran que la agregación de moléculas MHC de clase I humanas por anticuerpos monoclonales inhibe la lisis no específica de células Natural Killer (NK) y de linfocitos T citotóxicos. Estos resultados sugieren que las moléculas MHC de clase I humanas expresadas por células efectoras T citotóxicas (CTL) o células NK pueden transmitir señales negativas tras su interacción con ligandos expresados por las células que necesitan protegerse de la citotoxicidad no específica. En consecuencia, las moléculas MHC I no son únicamente ligandos del receptor de antígeno T o de receptores NK no reordenados, sino que también son moléculas transmisoras de señales por sí mismas probablemente tras co-localización en grupos de activación supramolecular o asociación con receptores con capacidad de transducción de señales. Además, nuestros resultados experimentales pueden tener consecuencias en el estudio de las señales inhibitorias que modulan la respuesta citotóxica de linfocitos T y células NK en donde está generalizado el uso de anticuerpos anti-MHC I. En resumen, nuestros datos sugieren una nueva función de las moléculas MHC de clase I humanas relevante en el estudio de las señales reguladoras que controlan la actividad de las células efectoras NK y citotóxicas T.

SUSCEPTIBILITY OF HUMAN WM MELANOMA CELL LINES TO NK AND LAK CYTOTOXICITY AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO THE LEVEL OF MHC CLASS I AND ICAM-l ANTIGEN EXPRESSION

The effect of natural killer (NK) cells and lymphokine activated killer ( LAK) cells was studied on a group of human melanoma cell lines. Peripheral blood from healthy volunteers was utilized as a fresh source of natural killer cells and rhI L-2 for producing LAK cells. The cytotoxicity of effector cells was quantified using a 4 hour SI determining the density of antigen expression on tumor...

Human Papillomavirus and Cancer - Immunological Consequences of MHC Class I Down-Regulation

Few studies have been conducted on the causative factors associated with the development of cancer. Infection by high risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) have been implicated as causative agents in a variety of cancers. HPV is capable of evading immune system and establishing persistent infections. Prolonged infection and lesion maintenance are associated with higher risk of neoplastic progressi...

Cross-linking of MHC class I molecules on human NK cells inhibits NK cell function, segregates MHC I from the NK cell synapse, and induces intracellular phosphotyrosines.

Engagement of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules on immune cells, where they are usually highly expressed, induces signal transduction events of unclear significance. We show here that antibody-mediated cross-linking of MHC-I molecules on human natural killer (NK) cells inhibits their cytotoxic activity against tumor target cells. Inhibition by anti-MHC class I monoclonal ...

Review of NKG2D function and its related ligands: review article

The natural killer group 2D (NKG2D) is a transmembrane protein and a member of the CD94/NKG2 family of C-type lectin-like receptors. NKG2D is encoded by the KLRK1 gene, which is located in the NK-gene complex (NKC) placed on chromosomes 6 and 12 in mice and humans, respectively. NKG2D forms a homodimer structure and binds through ectodomains with its related ligands. Each of its monomers consis...

Cutting edge: MHC class I triggering by a novel cell surface ligand costimulates proliferation of activated human T cells.

BY55 is a human cell surface molecule whose expression is restricted to NK cells, a subset of circulating CD8+ T lymphocytes, and all intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes. Here, we report that BY55 is a novel NK receptor showing broad specificity for both classical and nonclassical MHC class I molecules, and that optimal binding requires a prior aggregation of MHC class I complexes. Using B...
