Hepatic interleuklin 15 (IL-15) expression: implications for local NK/NKT cell homeostasis and development.
Interleukin 15 (IL-15) is critical for the development of human and murine natural killer (NK) cells and hepatic-derived NK T cells (NKT) in mice, and for the homeostatic maintenance of NK/NKT and CD8(+) memory T cells. The lymphocyte repertoire of an adult human liver includes significant populations of NK and NKT-like cells, which may arise locally from hepatic haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs...
متن کاملAdipocyte IL-15 regulates local and systemic NK cell development.
NK cell development and homeostasis require IL-15 produced by both hematopoietic and parenchymal cells. Certain hematopoietic IL-15 sources, such as macrophages and dendritic cells, are known, whereas the source of parenchymal IL-15 remains elusive. Using two types of adipocyte-specific Il15(-/-) mice, we identified adipocytes as a parenchymal IL-15 source that supported NK cell development non...
متن کاملDistinct cell types control lymphoid subset development by means of IL-15 and IL-15 receptor alpha expression.
IL-15 and the IL-15 receptor (IL-15R)alpha chain are essential for normal development of naive CD8 T cells, intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), and natural killer (NK)/NK/T cells. However, whether IL-15R alpha expression by these subsets is necessary for their production and which cell type needs to produce IL-15 to drive development are unknown. We analyzed the requirements for IL-15...
متن کاملIL-15: a relevant cytokine for lymphoid homeostasis
IL-15 is involved in broad effector functions of the immune response in innate immunity mediated by macrophages, neutrophils and NK cells and in acquired immunity mediated by antigen-activated T and B lymphocytes. Also, IL-15 is an important apoptosis inhibitor and acts on other non immune cells. The deregulated expression of IL-15 has been related to autoimmune and inflammatory diseases such a...
متن کاملWhole Tumor Cell Vaccine Adjuvants: Comparing IL-12 to IL-2 and IL-15
Cancer immunotherapy (passive or active) involves treatments which promote the ability of the immune system to fight tumor cells. Several types of immunotherapeutic agents, such as monoclonal antibodies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, non-specific immunomodulatory agents, and cancer vaccines are currently under intensive investigation in preclinical and clinical trials. Cancer vaccines induce pe...
