Michie, Sarah K. Cho, and Juan Carlos Zu´n˜iga-Pflu¨cker2 Natural killer (NK) cells mediate MHC-unrestricted cytolysis of virus-infected cells and tumor cells. In the adult mouse, NK cells are bone marrow-derived lymphocytes that mature predominantly in extrathymic locations but have also been suggested to share a common intrathymic progenitor with T lymphocytes. However, mature NK cells are thought to be absent in mouse fetal ontogeny. We report the existence of thymocytes with a mature NK cell phenotype (NK1.11/CD1172) as early as day 13 of gestation, approximately 3 days before the appearance of CD41/CD81 cells in T lymphocyte development. These mature fetal thymic NK cells express genes associated with NK cell effector function and, when freshly isolated, display MHC-unrestricted cytolytic activity in vitro. Moreover, the capacity of fetal thymic NK cells for sustained growth both in vitro and in vivo, in addition to their close phenotypic resemblance to early precursor thymocytes, confounds previous assessments of NK lineage Downloaded from precursor function. Thus, mature NK cells may have been inadvertently included in previous attempts to identify multipotent and bipotent precursor thymocytes. These results provide the first evidence of functional NK lymphocytes in mouse fetal ontogeny and demonstrate that NK cell maturation precedes ab T cell development in the fetal thymus.

  • Leukocytosis and Natural Killer Cell Function Parallel Neurobehavioral Fatigue Induced by 64 Hours of Sleep Deprivation
    Leukocytosis and natural killer cell function parallel neurobehavioral fatigue induced by 64 hours of sleep deprivation. D F Dinges, … , E Icaza, M T Orne J Clin Invest. 1994;93(5):1930-1939. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI117184. Research Article The hypothesis that sleep deprivation depresses immune function was tested in 20 adults, selected on the basis of their normal blood chemistry, monitored in a laboratory for 7 d, and kept awake for 64 h. At 2200 h each day measurements were taken of total leukocytes (WBC), monocytes, granulocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, erythrocytes (RBC), B and T lymphocyte subsets, activated T cells, and natural killer (NK) subpopulations (CD56/CD8 dual-positive cells, CD16- positive cells, CD57-positive cells). Functional tests included NK cytotoxicity, lymphocyte stimulation with mitogens, and DNA analysis of cell cycle. Sleep loss was associated with leukocytosis and increased NK cell activity. At the maximum sleep deprivation, increases were observed in counts of WBC, granulocytes, monocytes, NK activity, and the proportion of lymphocytes in the S phase of the cell cycle. Changes in monocyte counts correlated with changes in other immune parameters. Counts of CD4, CD16, CD56, and CD57 lymphocytes declined after one night without sleep, whereas CD56 and CD57 counts increased after two nights. No changes were observed in other lymphocyte counts, in proliferative responses to mitogens, or in plasma levels of cortisol or adrenocorticotropin hormone. The physiologic leukocytosis and NK activity increases during deprivation were eliminated by recovery sleep in a manner parallel to neurobehavioral function, suggesting that the immune alterations may be associated with biological pressure for sleep.

Similar to other cancers, MM targets may elude NK cell immunosurveillance by reprogramming tumor microenvironment and editing cell surface antigen repertoire. Along disease continuum, these effects collectively result in a pro- gressive decline of NK cell immunity, a phenomenon increasingly recognized as a critical determinant of MM progression. In recent years, unprecedented efforts in drug devel- opment and experimental research have brought about emergence of novel therapeutic interventions with the potential to override MM-induced NK cell immunosuppression.

This process involves perforin-dependent elimination of activated CD4 T cells during the first three days of infection. Although this mechanism requires cell-cell contact, NK cells and T cells typically reside in different compartments of lymphoid tissues at steady state. Here, we show that NK-cell suppression of T cells is associated with a transient accumulation of NK cells within T cell-rich sites of the spleen during lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection.

Simple Summary: Natural killer (NK) cells are key elements of the innate immune system that have the ability to kill transformed (tumor and virus-infected) cells without prior sensitization. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a medical procedure used in the treatment of a variety of cancers. The early reconstitution of NK cells after HSCT and their functions support the therapeutic potential of these cells in allogenic HSCT. However, the role of NK cells in autologous HSCT is less clear. In this review, we have summarized general aspects of NK cell biology. In addition, we have also reviewed factors that affect autologous HSCT outcome, with particular attention to the role played by NK cells.

  • The Role of Natural Killer Cells in Parkinson's Disease
    Earls and Lee Experimental & Molecular Medicine (2020) 52:1517–1525 https://doi.org/10.1038/s12276-020-00505-7 Experimental & Molecular Medicine REVIEW ARTICLE Open Access The role of natural killer cells in Parkinson’s disease Rachael H. Earls1 and Jae-Kyung Lee 1 Abstract Numerous lines of evidence indicate an association between sustained inflammation and Parkinson’s disease, but whether increased inflammation is a cause or consequence of Parkinson’s disease remains highly contested. Extensive efforts have been made to characterize microglial function in Parkinson’s disease, but the role of peripheral immune cells is less understood. Natural killer cells are innate effector lymphocytes that primarily target and kill malignant cells. Recent scientific discoveries have unveiled numerous novel functions of natural killer cells, such as resolving inflammation, forming immunological memory, and modulating antigen-presenting cell function. Furthermore, natural killer cells are capable of homing to the central nervous system in neurological disorders that exhibit exacerbated inflammation and inhibit hyperactivated microglia. Recently, a study demonstrated that natural killer cells scavenge alpha-synuclein aggregates, the primary component of Lewy bodies, and systemic depletion of natural killer cells results in exacerbated neuropathology in a mouse model of alpha-synucleinopathy, making them a highly relevant cell type in Parkinson’s disease. However, the exact role of natural killer cells in Parkinson’s disease remains elusive. In this review, we introduce the systemic inflammatory process seen in Parkinson’s disease, with a particular focus on the direct and indirect modulatory capacity of natural killer cells in the context of Parkinson’s disease. 6,7 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; 1234567890():,; Introduction dopaminergic (DA) neurons such as astrocytes .
