ABSTRACT: Natural Killer Gene Complex (NKC)-encoded immunomodulatory C-type lectin-like receptors (CTLR) include members of the NKRP1 and CLEC2 gene families, which constitute genetically linked receptor-ligand pairs and are thought to allow for NK cell-mediated immunosurveillance of stressed or infected tissues. The mouse CTLR Nkrp1g was previously shown to form several receptor-ligands pairs with the CLEC2 proteins Clr-d, Clr-f, and Clr-g, respectively. Recently, we demonstrated a gut-restricted expression of Clr-f on intestinal epithelial cells that is spatially matched by Nkrp1g on subsets of intraepithelial lymphocytes (Leibelt et al., 2015). We now investigated expression and ligand interaction of Nkrp1g in the splenic compartment, and found an exclusive expression of Nkrp1g on a small subset of NK cells that upregulates Nkrp1g after cytokine exposure. To further characterize NKrp1g+ NK cells, we performed microarray analysis of resting Nkrp1g+ versus Nkrp1g- splenic NK cells that were purified by FACsorting. Total RNA isolation was followed by an Affymetrix microarray analysis.
