Sensitivity of myeloid progenitors to NK‐cell depletion

Abstract: To gain additional informations on the role played by Natural Killer cells (NK) in the differentiation of human hematopoietic precursors, we have studied the effect of NK-cell depletion on the in vitro proliferation of hematopoietic cells. NK cells were depleted from blood mononuclear cells by FACS using anti CD3 and anti CD56 monoclonal antibodies. Depletion of NK cells suppressed CFU-GM up to 69% (P < 0.01), while no significant effect on either BFU-E and CFU-Mix growth was observed. To define the threshold … Show more

“…21,22 Yet their actual function has remained controversial, inasmuch as they are potentially capable of exerting both positive and negative effects on hematopoietic progenitor cells through their production of growth-promoting and growth-inhibiting cytokines, such as granulocyte macrophage-colony-stimulating factor and IFN-␥, respectively. 23 NK cells are potent cytotoxic effectors that co-express several ligands of the TNF death receptor family, such as FasL, TNF-␣, or TRAIL.…”

“…Other synergistic hematopoietic growth factors appear to have the ability to up-regulate the receptor expression of other cytokine on hematopoietic progenitors. On another hand, some of our results suggest that IL-12 might act by stimulating accessory cells to secondary cytokine production [20]. The enhancing effect of IL-12 may be mediated indirectly on 5-FU-treated human peripheral CD34 + cells.…”

“…Mature cell populations in fact display lineage-specific functional effects on stem and progenitor cells; platelets ( Foss et al , 2008 ) and NK cells ( Fardoun-Joalland et al , 1994 ) both secrete factors that enhance progenitor expansion, whereas macrophages ( Xu et al , 2000 ) and red blood cells ( Cheshier et al , 2007 ) secrete factors that inhibit progenitor expansion. Stem and progenitor cell fate decisions are regulated by a balance of antagonistic stimulatory versus inhibitory soluble factors ( Cashman et al , 1990 ; Jacobsen et al , 1994 ) produced by distinct cell populations in the microenvironment ( Wright et al , 1979 ).…”
