The Influence of Invariant Natural Killer T Cells on Humoral Immunity to T-Dependent and -Independent Antigens

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Vaccination with CD1d-binding glycolipid adjuvants and co-administered protein, lipid, and carbohydrate antigens leads to invariant natural killer T (NKT) cell-dependent enhancement of protective B cell responses.

Osteopontin as a Mediator of NKT Cell Function in T Cell-Mediated Liver Diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Both osteopontin (OPN) and natural killer T (NKT) cells play a role in the development of immunological disorders. We examined a functional link between OPN and NKT cells. Concanavalin A (Con A)-induced hepatitis is a well-characterized murine model of T

Rapid Death and Regeneration of NKT Cells in Anti-CD3ε- or IL-12-Treated Mice A Major Role for Bone Marrow in NKT Cell Homeostasis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Natural killer T (NKT) cells express a T cell receptor (TCR) and markers common to NK cells, including NK1.1. In vivo, NKT cells are triggered by anti-CD3ε MAb to rapidly produce large amounts of IL-4 and by IL-12 to reject tumors. We show here that anti-

NK and NKT cell functions in immunosenescence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Immunosenescence is defined as the state of dysregulated immune function that contributes to the increased susceptibility to infection, cancer and autoimmune diseases observed in old organisms, including humans.

Possible Therapeutic Application of Targeting Type II Natural Killer T Cell-Mediated Suppression of Tumor Immunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a unique T cell subset that exhibits characteristics from both the innate immune cells and T cells. There are at least two subsets of NKT cells, type I and type II.

Cytotoxic activity of invariant NKT cells in human allergic contact dermatitis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cytotoxic activity of invariant NKT cells in human allergic contact dermatitis Background: The role of cytotoxicity of NKT-cells in the skin is not defined. There are two prototypic skin diseases in which epidermal Keratinocytes (KC) over-express CD1d, a

Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Proteogenomic characterization of cholangiocarcinoma with therapeutic strategies Abstract Background and Aims Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a highly heterogeneous cancer with limited understanding and few effective therapeutic approaches. We aimed at providing a proteogenomic CCA characterization to inform biological processes and treatment ...

Combinatorial targeting of G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 and cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 reveals a mechanistic role for bile acids and leukotrienes in drug‐induced liver injury

open access: yesHepatology, EarlyView., 2022
CHIN117 is a dual cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CYSLTR1) antagonist and G‐protein‐coupled bile acid receptor 1 (GPBAR1) agonist. In the liver, GPBAR1 and CYSLTR1 are coexpressed by liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs), HSCs, circulating monocytes/macrophages, and liver resident macrophages (Kupffer cells).

Intrahepatic CD8+ lymphocyte trapping during tolerance induction using mushroom derived formulations: A possible role for liver in tolerance induction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
AIM: To determine the immunomodulatory effect of Shiitake (a mushroom extract), we tested its effect on liver-mediated immune regulation in a model of immune-mediated colitis. METHODS: Four groups of mice were studied. Colitis was induced by intracolonic

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Analysis Uncovers Distinct Functional Human NKT Cell Sub-Populations in Peripheral Blood

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Vα24-invariant human natural killer T (NKT) cells comprise a unique subset of CD1d-restricted T cells with potent immune regulatory function and are involved in the development of a variety of human diseases.
