NK cells have been shown to be important antitumor or antiviral effector cells in the liver. In the present study we have examined the factors that regulate the initial recruitment and subsequent fate of hepatic NK and T cells in mice treated with IL-12 or IL-2. Daily administration of IL-12 caused a rapid initial increase in NK cells followed by a subsequent decrease that coincided with an accumulation of T cells. The recruitment of hepatic NK cells by IL-12, but not the subsequent T cell infiltrate, was abrogated in IFN-{gamma}-/- mice. In contrast, daily administration of IL-2 caused a sustained increase in liver-associated NK cells that was not diminished in IFN-{gamma}-/- mice. The IL-12-induced recruitment in both hepatic NK and T cells was abrogated by in vivo treatment with anti-VCAM-1 mAbs, while treatment with anti-ICAM-1 Abs decreased only the recruitment of T cells in the IL-12-treated mice. The rapid loss of newly recruited hepatic NK cells in IL-12-treated mice did not occur in SCID mice or in B.MRL-Faslpr (Fas-) and B6Smn.C3H-Faslgld (FasL-) mutant mice, suggesting that T cells can actively eliminate hepatic NK cells through a Fas-dependent mechanism. These findings also imply that during the endogenous innate immune response to infectious agents or tumors or in the host response induced by cytokine therapies, the biologic effects of NK cells may be limited by T cell-mediated effects.
