One of the major pathogenesis mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 is its potent suppression of innate immunity, including blocking the production of type I interferons.

Human CD1D Gene Expression Is Regulated by LEF-1 through Distal Promoter Regulatory Elements [PDF]
CD1d-expressing cells present lipid Ag to CD1d-restricted NKT cells, which play an important role in immune regulation and tumor rejection. Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor-1 (LEF-1) is one of the regulators of the Wnt signaling pathway, which is a ...

Regulatory Role of CD1d in Neurotropic Virus Infection [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe GDVII strain of Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus (TMEV) causes an acute fatal polioencephalomyelitis in mice. Infection of susceptible mice with the DA strain of TMEV results in an acute polioencephalomyelitis followed by chronic immune-mediated demyelination with virus persistence in the central nervous system (CNS); DA virus ...

CD1d-mediated lipid presentation by CD11c+ cells regulates intestinal homeostasis
Intestinal homeostasis relies on a continuous dialogue between the commensal bacteria and the immune system. Natural killer T (NKT) cells, which recognize CD1d-restricted microbial lipids and self-lipids, contribute to the regulation of mucosal immunity,

ABSTRACT Background Canine atopic dermatitis (cAD) is a multifactorial, inherited skin disease, estimated to affect ≤ 15% of dogs. Studies of skin messenger mRNA in cAD currently use invasive methods, including blood sampling and biopsy collection, whilst advances in human atopic dermatitis study methodology have demonstrated reliable use of minimally ...

Immune evasion of the CD1d/NKT cell axis [PDF]
Many reviews on the CD1d/NKT cell axis focus on the ability of CD1d-restricted NKT cells to serve as effector cells in a variety of disorders, be they infectious diseases, cancer or autoimmunity. In contrast, here, we discuss the ways that viruses, bacteria and tumor cells can evade the CD1d/NKT cell axis.

CD1d-expressing breast cancer cells modulate NKT cell-mediated antitumor immunity in a murine model of breast cancer metastasis. [PDF]
Tumor tolerance and immune suppression remain formidable obstacles to the efficacy of immunotherapies that harness the immune system to eradicate breast cancer.

From Development to Aging: Dynamic Roles of the Thymic Medulla in T Cell Biology
ABSTRACT The thymic medulla is essential for establishing central tolerance, orchestrating the development of a diverse yet self‐tolerant T cell repertoire, and preventing autoimmunity. This process is primarily mediated through interactions between developing thymocytes and antigen‐presenting cells, including thymic epithelial cells (TECs) and ...

Following positive selection, NKT cell precursors enter an “NK-like” program and progress from an NK– to an NK+ maturational stage to give rise to NKT1 cells. Maturation takes place in the thymus or after emigration of NK– NKT cells to the periphery.

CD1d-dependent CLL progression? [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , Gorini et al provide compelling evidence for an indirect CD1d- and natural killer T (NKT) cell–dependent mechanism that promotes disease progression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL ...
