Human NK cells are classified into two populations according to the intensity of CD56 surface expression, as well as possession of CD16, FcRIII. CD56(dim)CD16(bright) make up 90% circulating NK cells, whereas CD56(bright)CD16(-/dim) comprises the remaining 10%. Here we report that peripheral NK cells upon CD16 cross-linking up-regulates the expression of activating markers and receptors such as CD25, CD69, NKp44, NKp30, CD40L and the intensity of CD56 expression. Additionally, co-culturing immature DCs with CD16 activated NK cells was found to significantly increase the expression of maturation markers on DCs. These results suggest that CD16 cross-linking on resting peripheral blood NK cells triggers the activation of these cells and induces the appearance of CD56(bright) NK cells. The latter were found capable of producing pro-inflammatory cytokines, IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha and notably IL-12.
人类 NK 细胞根据 CD56 表面表达强度和 CD16、FcRIII 的存在情况分为两类。CD56(dim)CD16(bright)组成了 90%的循环 NK 细胞，而 CD56(bright)CD16(-/dim)占剩余的 10%。在这里，我们报告称，外周 NK 细胞在 CD16 交联后会上调表达激活标记物和受体，如 CD25、CD69、NKp44、NKp30、CD40L 和 CD56 表达强度。此外，我们发现将未成熟的 DC 与 CD16 激活的 NK 细胞共培养可显著增加 DC 上成熟标志物的表达。这些结果表明，静止外周血 NK 细胞上的 CD16 交联触发这些细胞的激活，并诱导 CD56(bright)NK 细胞的出现。后者被发现能够产生促炎细胞因子 IFN-γ和 TNF-α，特别是 IL-12。
