NK cells are the first line of defense against infected and transformed cells.
Defective NK cell activity was shown to increase susceptibility for viral
infections and reduce tumor immune-surveillance. With age, the incidence of
infectious diseases and malignancy rises dramatically, suggesting that impaired
NK cell function might contribute to disease in these individuals. We found an
increased frequency of NK cells with high expression of the inhibitory killer
cell lectin-like receptor G1 (KLRG1) in individuals >70 y. The role of KLRG1 in
ageing is not known, and the mechanism of KLRG1-induced inhibition of NK cell
function is not fully understood. We report that NK cells with high KLRG1
expression spontaneously activate the metabolic sensor AMP-activated protein
kinase (AMPK) and that activation of AMPK negatively regulates NK cell function.
Pre-existing AMPK activity is further amplified by ligation of KLRG1 in these
cells, which leads to internalization of the receptor and allows interaction with
AMPK. We show that KLRG1 activates AMPK by preventing its inhibitory
dephosphorylation by protein phosphatase-2C rather than inducing de novo kinase
activation. Finally, inhibition of KLRG1 or AMPK prevented KLRG1-induced
activation of AMPK and reductions in NK cell cytotoxicity, cytokine secretion,
proliferation, and telomerase expression. This novel signaling pathway links
metabolic sensing, effector function, and cell differentiation with inhibitory
receptor signaling that may be exploited to enhance NK cell activity during
ageing.
