Natural killer (NK) cells are classically viewed as lymphocytes that provide innate surveillance against virally-infected cells and tumor cells through release of cytolytic mediators and IFN-γ. In humans, blood CD56dim NK cells specialize in lysis of cell targets. In lymph nodes, CD56bright NK cells secrete IFN-γ cooperating with dendritic cells (DC) and T cells in the generation of adaptive responses. Here we report the characterization of a human NK cell subset located in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT), such as tonsils and Payer’s patches, which is hard-wired to secrete interleukin (IL)-22, IL-26, and leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF). These NK cells, which we refer to as NK-22 cells, are triggered by acute exposure to IL-23. In vitro, NK-22-secreted cytokines stimulate epithelial cells to secrete IL-10, proliferate and express a variety of mitogenic and anti-apoptotic molecules. NK-22 cells are also found in mouse MALT and appear in the small intestine lamina propria during bacterial infection suggesting that NK-22 cells provide an innate source of IL-22 that may help constrain inflammation and protect mucosal sites.
