Zusammenfassung: | Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Dedicator of Cytokinesis 8 (DOCK8) deficiency is a rare form of autosomal recessive combined immunodeficiency. The effect of DOCK8 deficiency on Natural Killer cell biology has not been fully elucidated yet. Thus, we undertook a detailed phenotypic and functional evaluation of NK cells from seven patients with DOCK8 deficiency. Patients' immature CD56bright NK cells were defective in IFN-γ secretion, while their mature CD56dim NK cells showed impaired cytotoxicity, partially rescued upon rIL-2 addition. Cross-linking of NK cell receptors revealed a specific defect in the CD3 zeta chain-dependent activation pathway in DOCK8 deficiency. Lack of DOCK8, but not of WASP, impaired CCR7 expression on human CD56bright NK cells, a critical receptor for their migration to secondary lymph nodes. Evaluation of a patient's lymph node showed a severe reduction in NK cells that showed increased intracellular expression of CCR7. Our data suggest that DOCK8 deficiency variably affects NK cell homeostasis in humans |
