New cell sources for CAR-based immunotherapy

Biomarker Research, 2023
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, in which a patient’s own T lymphocytes are engineered to recognize and kill cancer cells, has achieved striking success in some hematological malignancies in preclinical and clinical trials, resulting in ...

Altered thymic differentiation and modulation of arthritis by invariant NKT cells expressing mutant ZAP70

Nature Communications, 2018
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells can be subsetted based on their cytokine productions. Here the authors show, using Zap70 mutant mice, that interferon-γ secreting (IFN-γ) iNKT cells may be induced by hampered T cell receptor signallings to help ...

Transcriptome and chromatin landscape of iNKT cells are shaped by subset differentiation and antigen exposure

Nature Communications, 2021
Invariant natural killer T cells are known to be composed of a number of phenotypic and functionally distinct populations. Here the authors use transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis to further characterize the peripheral iNKT compartment before and ...

MAIT cells regulate NK cell-mediated tumor immunity

Nature Communications, 2021
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells facilitate anti-microbial responses, but their functions in cancer protection is unclear. Here the authors show that activated MAIT cells induce an IFN-γ transcriptome in natural killer (NK) cells and enhance ...

RORγt inhibition selectively targets IL-17 producing iNKT and γδ-T cells enriched in Spondyloarthritis patients

Nature Communications, 2019
The role of innate T cell subsets in the pathogenesis of spondyloarthritis (SpA) is not well understood. Here, the authors examine the role of invariant natural killer T (iNKT) and γδ-T cells in SpA and show that disease-derived iNKT and γδ-T cells have ...

Glucosylceramide Synthase Is Involved in Development of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells represent a unique population of CD1d-restricted T lymphocytes expressing an invariant T cell receptor encoded by Vα14-Jα18 and Vα24-Jα18 gene segments in mice and humans, respectively.

Invariant natural killer T cells are functionally impaired in patients with systemic sclerosis

Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2019
Background Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a potentially fatal autoimmune disease that leads to extensive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are potent immunoregulatory T lymphocytes being able to orchestrate ...

Harnessing the Power of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a distinct subset of innate-like lymphocytes bearing an invariant T-cell receptor, through which they recognize lipid antigens presented by monomorphic CD1d molecules. Upon activation, iNKT cells are capable of

Modulatory Function of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Clinical and Developmental Immunology, 2012
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease with complex immunological and clinical manifestations. Multiple organ failure in SLE can be caused by immune dysfunction and deposition of autoantibodies.

The Role of Autophagy in iNKT Cell Development

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are innate-like T cells that express an invariant T cell receptor (TCR) α-chain and recognize self and foreign glycolipid antigens.
