Interleukin-12-Activated Natural Killer Cells Recognize B7 Costimulatory Molecules on Tumor Cells and Autologous Dendritic Cells

Anja B. Geldhof, Muriel Moser, Laurence Lespagnard, Kris Thielemans, and Patrick De Baetselier

From the Laboratory of Cellular Immunology, Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB); the Laboratory of Animal Physiology, Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Sint-Genesius Rode; and the Laboratory of Physiology, Medical School, VUB, Jette, Belgium.

Activation of natural killer (NK) cells in the presence of interleukin-12 (IL-12) augments the capacity of these effector cells to recognize B7-1- and B7-2-expressing target cells. These effector cells also efficiently lyse autologous B7-positive progenitor or organ-derived dendritic cells, suggesting a physiologic regulatory pathway between IL-12, NK cells, and B7-expressing antigen-presenting cells. Although IL-12-activated NK cells secreted higher levels of interferon-gamma , this cytokine did not play a role in synergistic effects of IL-12 and B7 on NK activation. The B7-counterreceptor was found to be selectively upregulated on IL-2/IL-12 as compared with IL-2-activated NK cells. CD28 is functionally involved in the recognition of B7 on target cells since IL-2/IL-12-activated NK cells derived from CD28 knockout mice were strongly reduced in their capacity to lyse syngeneic B7-positive tumor cells as well as antigen-presenting cells. However, recognition of B7 on allogeneic targets did not require the expression of CD28 on the IL-2/IL-12-activated NK cells. Hence, IL-12 triggers the expression of both CD28-dependent and CD28-independent mechanisms that allow NK cells to eliminate B7-positive target cells including autologous dendritic cells.
