【講演要旨】 Natural killer (NK) cells provide important host defense against viruses and can differentiate into self-renewing memory NK cells after infection, alloantigen stimulation, and cytokine stimulation. In this study, we investigated the role of the interleukin (IL)-33 receptor ST2 in the differentiation of NK cells during mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV) infection. Although ST2-deficient (Il1rl1−/−) Ly49H+ NK cells develop normally and differentiate into memory cells after MCMV infection, naïve and memory Il1rl1−/− Ly49H+ NK cells exhibited profound defects in MCMV-specific expansion, resulting in impaired protection against MCMV challenge. Additionally, IL-33 enhanced MCMV m157 antigen-specific proliferation of Ly49H+ NK cells in the presence of IL-12 in vitro. Thus, an IL-33-ST2 signaling axis in NK cells contributes to host defense against MCMV.
