摘要
目的 观察膜型和分泌型MICA对NK细胞受体表达的影响 ,以探讨NK细胞抗肿瘤活化机制及肿瘤细胞表达MICA分子的意义。方法 用MTT法测定人NK细胞系 (NK92 )的细胞毒活性 ;用RT PCR或FACS检测NK细胞受体 (NKG2D ,NKG2A B ,KIR2DL1,KIR2DS1)及NKG2D的识别配体MICA的表达。结果 肿瘤细胞表面的MICA分子可上调NKG2D的表达 ,下调抑制性受体NKG2A B和KIR2DL1的表达 ;而分泌型MICA (sMICA)分子对NKG2D及抑制性受体的表达均有抑制作用。结论 膜型MICA分子可上调NKG2D的表达 ,激发NK细胞对肿瘤细胞的细胞毒效应 ;分泌型MICA分子则通过降低NKG2D的表达下调机体的抗肿瘤免疫效应 ,肿瘤细胞分泌sMICA分子为肿瘤发生免疫逃逸的机制之一。
Objective To observe the effect of mMICA and rsMICA on the expression of NK cell receptors and investigate the anti-tumor mechanisms of NK cells and the significance of MICA expression on tumor cells. Methods The cytotoxicity of human NK cells (NK92) was detected by MTT method. The expression of NK cell receptors (NKG2D, NKG2A/B, KIR2DL1 and KIR2DS1) and MICA (the ligand of NKG2D) were measured by RT-PCR or by FACS. Results The membrane MICA (mMICA) on surface of tumor cells can up-regulate the expression of NKG2D, but down-regulate the expression of inhibitory receptor NKG2A/B and KIR2DL1. The soluble MICA (sMICA) exerts negative effect on the expression of NKG2D, NKG2A/B and KIR2DL1. Conclusion mMICA can enhance the cytotoxicity of NK cells against tumor through up-regulating the expression of NKG2D. While sMICA down-regulate the immune response of NK cells by reducing the expression of NKG2D, which may promote tumor immune evasion.
