Role of mucosal-associated invariant T cells dynamics in pathogenesis of Sjögren syndrome

open access: yesScientific Reports
Sjögren syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammatory infiltrates in the salivary and lacrimal glands. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subset of innate-like T-cells, predominantly found in mucosal tissues ...

Conventional, regulatory, and unconventional T cells in the immunologic response to helicobacter pylori [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Infection by the gastroduodenal pathogen Helicobacter pylori elicits a complex immunologic response in the mucosa involving neutrophils, plasma cells, eosinophils, and lymphocytes, of which T cells are the principal orchestrators of immunity.

Integrated Bulk and Single‐Cell RNA‐Seq Analysis Reveals Transcriptional Activation of PTGS2 by FOS in Progression From T2DM to T2DM‐Associated NAFLD

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 9, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) frequently coexist, exacerbating disease burden. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the progression from T2DM to T2DM‐associated NAFLD remain unclear. This study investigated the regulatory function of FOS‐mediated PTGS2 activation in this transition.

Increased pathogenicity and pro-inflammatory capabilities of mucosal-associated invariant T cells involved in Oral Lichen Planus

open access: yesBMC Oral Health
Background Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells assume pivotal roles in numerous autoimmune inflammatory maladies. However, scant knowledge exists regarding their involvement in the pathological progression of oral lichen planus (OLP).

Arming of MAIT Cell Cytolytic Antimicrobial Activity Is Induced by IL-7 and Defective in HIV-1 Infection.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2015
Mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells represent a large innate-like evolutionarily conserved antimicrobial T-cell subset in humans. MAIT cells recognize microbial riboflavin metabolites from a range of microbes presented by MR1 molecules. MAIT cells

Recognition of vitamin B metabolites by mucosal-associated invariant T cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The mucosal-associated invariant T-cell antigen receptor (MAIT TCR) recognizes MR1 presenting vitamin B metabolites. Here we describe the structures of a human MAIT TCR in complex with human MR1 presenting a non-stimulatory ligand derived from folic acid

Liver transplant-facilitated CD161+Vα7.2+ MAIT cell recovery demonstrates clinical benefits in hepatic failure patients

open access: yesNature Communications
Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells exert multifaceted effects such as anti-microbial activity, tissue repair, and pro-fibrotic effects across various disease settings. Nonetheless, their role in liver injury and hemostasis remains debated. Here,
