NK cells play a well-recognised role in early pathogen containment and in shaping acquired cell-mediated immunity. However, indirect evidence in man and experimental models has suggested that NK cells also play negative regulatory roles during chronic disease. To formally test this hypothesis, we employed a well-defined experimental model of visceral leishmaniasis. Our data demonstrate that NKp46+CD49b+CD3- NK cells are recruited to the spleen and into hepatic granulomas where they inhibit host protective immunity in an IL-10-dependent manner. Although IL-10 mRNA could be detected in activated NK cells 24h after infection, the inhibitory function of NK cells was only acquired later during infection, coincident with increased IL-10 mRNA stability and an enhanced capacity to secrete IL-10 protein. Our data support a growing body of literature that implicate NK cells as negative regulators of cell-mediated immunity and suggest that NK cells, like CD4+ Th1 cells, may acquire immunoregulatory functions as a consequence of extensive activation.
