Role of NK cells in immune escape in patients with classical paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria [PDF]

Clinical and Translational Medicine
Background Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is an acquired clonal haematopoietic stem cell disorder. Immune escape is crucial in PNH, and our previous studies revealed that natural killer (NK) cells potential participate in the immune escape of

A Brief Analysis of Tissue-Resident NK Cells in Pregnancy and Endometrial Diseases: The Importance of Pharmacologic Modulation

Immuno, 2021
NK cells are lymphocytes involved in the innate and adaptative immune response. These cells are located in peripheral blood and tissues with ample functions, from immune vigilant to tolerogenic reactions.

g-NK cells from umbilical cord blood are phenotypically and functionally different than g-NK cells from peripheral blood

OncoImmunology, 2023
FcRγ-deficient natural killer (NK) cells, designated as g-NK cells, exhibit enhanced antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) capacity and increased IFN-γ and TNF-α production, rendering them promising for antiviral and antitumor responses.

The co-inhibitory receptor TIGIT regulates NK cell function and is upregulated in human intrahepatic CD56bright NK cells

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
The crosstalk between NK cells and their surrounding environment is enabled through activating and inhibitory receptors, which tightly control NK cell activity.

Natural killer cells-related immune traits and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: A Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
BackgroundObservational studies have suggested that peripheral immune disorders are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Previous studies predominantly focused on changes in adaptive immunity.

Umbilical cord blood as a promising source of NK cells for immunotherapy

Медицинская иммунология, 2023
Currently, a large number of studies on genetic modification of cord blood NK cells (UCB-NK) are carried out at both clinical and preclinical levels. Immunotherapy based on UCB-NK cells has great potential for antitumor therapy.

T-Cell Immune Imbalance in Rheumatoid Arthritis Is Associated with Alterations in NK Cells and NK-Like T Cells Expressing CD38

Journal of Innate Immunity, 2021
Background: CD38+ NK (CD3− CD16+ CD38+ CD56+) cells were increased in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which suppressed Treg cell differentiation. This study explored how CD38+ NK cells regulated CD4+ T-cell differentiation into Treg cells in RA.

NK cells are not required for spontaneous autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
NK cells have been shown to either promote or protect from autoimmune diseases. Several studies have examined the role of receptors preferentially expressed by NK cells in the spontaneous disease of NOD mice or the direct role of NK cells in acute ...

Strategies to rescue mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) from NK cell mediated cytotoxicity. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: The aim of this paper is to study the function of allogeneic and autologous NK cells against Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSCs) and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) and to determine the function of NK cells in a three way interaction with monocytes ...
