University, Columbus, OH; and BASF Bioresearch Corporation, Worcester,
MA.
During the innate immune response to infection,
monocyte-derived cytokines (monokines), stimulate natural killer (NK)
cells to produce immunoregulatory cytokines that are important to the host's early defense. Human NK cell subsets can be distinguished by
CD56 surface density expression (ie, CD56bright and
CD56dim). In this report, it is shown that
CD56bright NK cells produce significantly greater levels of
interferon- , tumor necrosis factor- , granulocyte
macrophage-colony-stimulating factor, IL-10, and IL-13 protein in
response to monokine stimulation than do CD56dim NK cells,
which produce negligible amounts of these cytokines. Further,
qualitative differences in CD56bright NK-derived cytokines
are shown to be dependent on the specific monokines present. For
example, the monokine IL-15 appears to be required for type 2 cytokine
production by CD56bright NK cells. It is proposed that
human CD56bright NK cells have a unique functional role in
the innate immune response as the primary source of NK cell-derived
immunoregulatory cytokines, regulated in part by differential
monokine production.
