Activation of innate immunity (natural killer cell/interferon-γ: NK cell/IFN-γ) has been shown to play an important role in anti-viral and anti-tumor defenses as well as anti-fibrogenesis. However, little is known about the regulation of innate immunity during chronic liver injury. Here, we compared the functions of NK cells in early and advanced liver fibrosis induced by a 2-week or a 10 week-carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) challenge, respectively. Injection of poly I:C or IFN-γ induced NK cell activation and NK cell killing of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) in the 2-week CCl4 model. Such activation was diminished in the 10-week CCl4 model. Consistent with these findings, the inhibitory effect of poly I:C and IFN-γ on liver fibrosis was markedly reduced in the 10-week vs. the 2-week CCl4 model. In vitro co-culture experiments demonstrated that 4-day cultured (early-activated) HSCs induce NK cell activation via an NKG2D-retinoic acid-induced early gene 1 (RAE1)-dependent mechanism. Such activation was reduced when co-cultured with 8-day cultured (intermediately-activated) HSCs due to the production of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) by HSCs. Moreover, early-activated HSCs were sensitive, while intermediately-activated HSCs were resistant to IFN-γ mediated inhibition of cell proliferation, likely due to elevated expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1). Disruption of the SOCS1 gene restored the IFN-γ inhibition of cell proliferation in intermediately-activated HSCs. Production of retinol metabolites by HSCs contributed to SOCS1 induction and subsequently inhibited IFN-γ signaling and functioning, while production of TGF-β by HSCs inhibited NK cell function and cytotoxicity against HSCs. The anti-fibrogenic effects of NK cell/IFN-γ are suppressed during advanced liver injury, which is likely due to the increased production of TGF-β and expression of SOCS1 in intermediately-activated HSCs.
