1993;36(4):237-44 Mechanism of stimulation of human natural killer
cytotoxicity by arabinogalactan from Larix occidentalis. Hauer J, Anderer
FA. Friedrich-Miescher-Laboratorium, Max-Planck-Gesellschaft, Tubingen,
Federal Republic of Germany. Cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMC) as well as cultures of preseparated peripheral non-adherent
cells (PNAC) and monocytes showed enhancement of natural killer (NK)
cytotoxicity against K562 tumor cells when pretreated with arabinogalactan
from Larix occidentalis for 48-72 h. Lack of enhanced responses of PBMC (37%
of donors) did not necessarily mean that PNAC and monocyte cultures were
also non-responsive to arabinogalactan treatment. Moreover, PBMC, PNAC and
monocytes of individual donors could exhibit various responses to
arabinogalactan when cultures derived from bleedings after intervals of
several months were assayed. Arabinogalactan-mediated enhancement of NK
cytotoxicity was not initiated directly but was found to be governed by the
cytokine network. Generally, arabinogalactan pretreatment induced an
increased release of interferon gamma (IFN gamma), tumor necrosis factor
alpha, interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) and IL-6 but only IFN gamma was
involved in enhancement of NK cytotoxicity since cytotoxicity enhancement of
PBMC and PNAC but not that of monocytes could be blocked when anti-IFN gamma
antibodies were present during pretreatment. The presence of anti-IL-2
antibodies completely blocked NK cytotoxicity enhancement of PBMC and only
moderately that of PNAC and monocytes. This blocking effect was also
observed when no detectable increase of IL-2 release could be recorded. The
receptor specificity of arabinogalactan is not well characterized. Initial
information obtained from comparative studies indicated that arabinogalactan
presumably interacts with a receptor that showed specificity for a
NK-cytotoxicity-enhancing oligo-saccharide from Viscum album extracts since
the action of both components was not synergistic but rather competitive.
