- Abstract
- The engagement of inhibitory receptors specific for major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules educates natural killer (NK) cells, meaning the improvement of the response of activation receptors to subsequent stimulation. It is not known whether inhibitory MHC-I receptors educate only NK cells or whether they improve the responsiveness of all cell types, which express them. To address this issue, we analyzed the expression of inhibitory MHC-I receptors on intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs) and show that T-cell receptor (TCR)-alpha beta CD8 alpha alpha iIELs express multiple inhibitory receptors specific for MHC-I molecules, including CD94/NKG2A, Ly49A, and Ly49G2. However, the presence of MHC-I ligand for these receptors did not improve the response of iIELs to activation via the TCR. The absence of iIEL education by MHC-I receptors was not related to a lack of inhibitory function of these receptors in iIELs and a failure of these receptors to couple to the TCR. Thus, unlike NK cells, iIELs do not undergo an MHC-I-guided education process. These data suggest that education is an NK cell-specific function of inhibitory MHC-I receptors.
