Identification of novel self lipids, GlcCer and GalCer, as CD1d-restricted ligands for type II NKT cells

open access: yes, 2011
NKT cells make up a potent immunomodulating subset of T lymphocytes that recognizes self-lipids presented by CD1d molecules. So far, the identity of most self-lipids presented by CD1d underlying the autoreactivity of NKT cells are unknown. In this study,

Immunoregulation of NKT Cells in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

open access: yesJournal of Immunology Research, 2015
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease with different variety of clinical manifestations. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate lymphocytes that play a regulatory role during broad range of immune responses.

Regulation of dendritic cell subsets by NKT cells

open access: yesComptes Rendus. Biologies, 2003
NKT cells expressing both invariant TCRs and NK cell receptors are an important regulatory cell subset active during initiation of innate immune responses. They are involved in a wide variety of immune responses, but the molecular details of their regulatory action are unknown. Transcriptional profiling has been used for analysis of NKT cell activation

Increased Numbers of NK Cells, NKT-Like Cells, and NK Inhibitory Receptors in Peripheral Blood of Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

open access: yesClinical and Developmental Immunology, 2013
T cells and B cells participate in the pathogenesis of COPD. Currently, NK cells and NKT cells have gained increasing attention. In the present study, 19 COPD patients and 12 healthy nonsmokers (HNS) were recruited, and their pulmonary function was ...

Research progress on the role of inflammatory mediators in the pathogenesis of epilepsy

open access: yesIbrain, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 44-58, Spring 2025.
In the central nervous system, activated immune cells lead to the overproduction of inflammatory mediators through the corresponding signal pathway. Under the stimulation of inflammatory factors, neuroinflammation ultimately occurs. Overexpression of inflammatory mediators and activated immunocytes plays an important role in the emergence and ...

Butyrate ameliorates acute‐on‐chronic liver failure by regulating macrophage polarization

open access: yesiMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Multi‐omics profiling identifies progressive microbiota‐metabolism‐immunity axis dysfunction in acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (ACLF), characterized by gut dysbiosis, reduced butyrate production, intestinal barrier disruption, microbial translocation, and pro‐inflammatory macrophage polarization, thereby exacerbating hepatic inflammation and fibrosis ...

Role of NKT-cells in GSPL mediated therapy.

open access: yes, 2012
Recognition of GSPL via TLR4 results in IL-12 release by CD11c+APCs. GSPL recognized in the context of CD1d molecules stimulates iNKT-cells through their invariant T cell receptor (TCR).

Interleukin‐37 Enhances Liver NK Cell Cytotoxicity and Improves Recurrence‐Free Survival in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Patients

open access: yesJournal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a major cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide, and postoperative recurrence continues to limit long‐term survival. Liver‐resident natural killer (NK) cells are key effectors of antitumor immunity in the hepatic microenvironment. Interleukin‐37 (IL‐37), an anti‐inflammatory cytokine, has

Comparison of Circulating NKT Cells Numbers in Multi Drug Resistant Tuberculosis Patients and Healthy Subjects Using Tuberculin Skin Test

open access: yesMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Shahīd Ṣadūqī Yazd, 2009
Introduction: Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a subset of lymphocytes that express some NK cells properties. NKT cells have a regulatory role in immune responses. Little is known about the potential role of NKT cells in human infectious diseases.
