Interleukin-12 (IL-12) inhibits angiogenesis in vivo by inducing
interferon- (IFN- ) and other downstream mediators. Here, we
report that neutralization of natural killer (NK) cell function with
antibodies to either asialo GM1 or NK 1.1 reversed IL-12 inhibition of
basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-induced angiogenesis in athymic
mice. By immunohistochemistry, those sites where bFGF-induced neovascularization was inhibited by IL-12 displayed accumulation of NK cells and the presence of IP-10-positive cells. Based on expression of the cytolytic mediators perforin and granzyme B, the NK
cells were locally activated. Experimental Burkitt lymphomas treated
locally with IL-12 displayed tumor tissue necrosis, vascular damage,
and NK-cell infiltration surrounding small vessels. After activation in
vitro with IL-12, NK cells from nude mice became strongly cytotoxic for
primary cultures of syngeneic aortic endothelial cells. Cytotoxicity
was neutralized by antibodies to IFN- . These results document that
NK cells are required mediators of angiogenesis inhibition by IL-12,
and provide evidence that NK-cell cytotoxicity of endothelial cells is
a potential mechanism by which IL-12 can suppress neovascularization.
