Abstract:
:Natural killer T (NKT) lymphocytes rapidly produce several cytokines, including IL-4 and IFN-gamma, upon activation, and act as regulatory cells at an early interphase of innate and adaptive immune responses. They have been implicated as important elements in diverse immune responses including the regulation of autoimmune disease, the immune response to infections, and the prevention of tumor metastasis. The broad spectrum of their activities suggested that functionally different subsets of NKT cells may exist. We demonstrate two functionally distinct splenic NKT populations identified by the expression of CD49b and CD69, respectively. Each NKT subset was represented by the amplified transgenic NKT cell population in a distinct transgenic mouse line expressing a CD1d-restricted TCR. CD49bhigh CD69- NKT cells, termed NKT1 cells by us, were high producers of IFN-gamma after stimulation, but essentially devoid of IL-4-synthesizing cells. Most NKT1 cells used diverse (non-Valpha14-canonical) TCR. The CD69+ CD49(-/low) NKT cell population, which we term NKT2, produced large quantities of IL-4 and substantial amounts of IFN-gamma upon activation and were dominated by cells using the canonical Valpha14-Jalpha18 T cell receptor. Knowledge of the unique roles of the different NKT cell subsets in specific situations will be essential for our understanding of NKT cell biology.
