CINECA IRIS Institutional Research Information System
IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Torino.
AperTO è l'archivio istituzionale Open Access destinato a raccogliere, rendere visibile e conservare la produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Torino.
EnglishWe describe here the modulatory activity of human peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells on the growth and differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells at different stages of maturation. NK-enriched cell fractions containing 54 to 75% large granular lymphocytes (LGL) and displaying high levels of NK activity significantly inhibited the growth of late (7 day) granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cells (CFU-GM) from about 50% of normal human bone marrow samples. However, the same fractions strongly enhanced the growth of early (14 day) stem cells from peripheral blood. Enhancing activity on early CFU-GM from blood was greater in highly purified NK cell preparations containing 96% LGL than in NK-depleted T cell preparations from the same donors. Analogous to the results when using the NK-enriched fractions, the NK-purified preparations inhibited late CFU-GM and stimulated the early ones. We conclude from these observations that human LGL have a modulatory effect on myelopoiesis depending on the maturation stage of the progenitor cell.
