摘要:: Increasing evidence shows that NK cells regulate adaptive immunity, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. In this study, we show that activated human NK cells suppress autologous naive CD4 T cell proliferation in response to allogeneic dendritic cells (DCs) by selectively killing Ag-activated T cells. Naive CD4 T cells, which were initially resistant to NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity, became substantially susceptible to NK cells within a day after priming with DCs. Ag-activated T cells showed various degrees of susceptibility to NK cells. After 1 d of priming with LPS-matured DCs, T cells were less susceptible to NK cells than were T cells primed with TNF-α-matured DCs. Subsequently at day 3, Ag-activated T cells regained resistance to NK cells. The level of HLA-E expression on Ag-activated T cells was closely correlated with resistance to NK cells. HLA-E was highly expressed at day 1 by T cells primed with LPS-matured DCs but not by T cells primed with TNF-α-matured DCs. An Ab blockade revealed a critical role for the HLA-E-NKG2A interaction in the protection of Ag-activated T cells from NK cells. Collectively, this study demonstrates that NK cells impact adaptive immunity through the finely controlled kinetics of HLA-E expression on T cells. Thus, HLA-E may be a new target for immunoregulation.
