Natural killer cells play a key role in the defence of organisms against virus infections and in the control of tumor onset. Interleukin-2 is a multifunctional inflammatory cytokine able to activate natural killer cells, essentially inducing cell proliferation, lymphokine-activated-killer cell generation and cytokine production. Here we discuss some signaling events generated by interleukin-2 in the cell nucleus of primary human natural killer cells, specifically focusing on the lipid signal transduction and the induction of the cyclic adenosine-5'-monophosphate response element binding protein transcription factor. The implications of these nuclear events in the response of natural killer cells to interleukin-2 are also discussed.
