The pattern of T-bet expression correlates well with the production of IFNG in NK cells.
The induction of T-bet expression and secretion of IFNγ in NK cells that produce IFNγ
exists only upon treatment with IL-2 and IL-12 and CD16 pathway activation..
T-bet regulates IFNG expression in NK cells, probably via chromatin remodeling.
PMID:14614857
T-bet expression was approximately 4-fold reduced in GATA-3 deficient NK cells compared to controls, while Hlx expression was about 10-fold reduced.

TGF-beta utilizes SMAD3 to inhibit CD16-mediated IFN-gamma production and antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity in human NK cells.
SMAD3 downstream of TGFB inhibits expression TBX21 (T-BET). TBX21 is involeved in IFNG gene activation.

T-bet is a key factor in the terminal maturation and peripheral homeostasis of NK and Vα14i NKT cells.
Granzyme B, perforin and Runx1 are direct and positievly regulated targets of TBX21 (T-BET) in NK cells.

T-bet is required for optimal production of IFN-γ and antigen-specific T cell activation by dendritic cells
(positive feedback)

T-bet regulates the production of proinflammatory cytokine IL-1α and chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) and thymus- and activation-related chemokine (TARC) by DCs.
