Microglia are resident macrophage-like antigen presenting cells of the central nervous system (CNS). To avoid escalation of inflammatory processes and bystander damage within the CNS, microglia-driven inflammatory responses need to be tightly regulated and both spatially and temporally restricted. Following traumatic, infectious and autoimmune-mediated brain injury, natural killer (NK) cells have been found in the CNS, but the functional significance of NK cell recruitment and their mechanisms of action during brain inflammation are not well understood. Here, we investigated whether and by which mechanisms human NK cells might edit resting and activated human microglial cells via cytotoxicity. IL-2 activated NK cells efficiently killed both resting allogeneic and autologous microglia in a cell-contact dependent manner. In addition they produced IFN-γ upon microglia recognition. Activated NK cells rapidly formed synapses with human microglial cells, polarizing perforin to the cellular interface. Antibody-mediated NKG2D and NKp46, but not DNAM-1 and NKp30 blockade decreased killing of human microglia by activated NK cells. Up-regulation of MHC class I surface expression by TLR4 stimulation protected microglia from NK cell mediated cytotoxicity These data suggest that brain-infiltrating NK cells might restrict innate and adaptive immune responses within the human CNS via elimination of resting microglia.
