Administration of IL-12 selectively upregulated TRAIL expression on NK cells.
IL-12 stimulates TRAIL-mediated antimetastatic activity of NK cells.
The cytotoxicity of NK cells was inhibited partially by anti-TRAIL mAb.
TRAIL is a key effector molecule mediating the IFNG–dependent antimetastatic effect of IL-12.
IFN-γ induced both liver and spleen NK cell TRAIL expression. By contrast, treatment with either IL-12 or α-GalCer did not induce NK cell TRAIL. These data directly supported the conclusion that IFN-γ plays a key role in TRAIL expression and TRAIL-mediated antimetastatic function of NK cells.

I IFN induces TRAIL mRNA expression in DCs and enhances apoptosis of target tumor cells. Probably via STAT1 and IFR1 (PMID17617740 )
