Resident peritoneal NK cells.
In this study, we describe a new population of NK cells that reside in the normal, uninflamed peritoneal cavity. Phenotypically, they share some similarities with the small population of CD49b(-), CD27(+) immature splenic NK cells, as well as liver NK cells, but they differ in their expression of CD62L, TRAIL, and EOMES. Functionally, the peritoneal NK cells resemble the immature splenic NK cel...
متن کاملChanges of liver-resident NK cells during liver regeneration in rats.
To determine the role of NK cells in regulation of tissue growth, the phenotype and function of liver-resident NK cells were studied after 70% partial hepatectomy in rats. The process of liver regeneration was generally completed by day 14. In contrast, the number of liver-resident NK cells (NKR-P1bright) was restored as early as day 3 after partial hepatectomy. However, spontaneous functions o...
متن کاملLiver-resident NK cells confer adaptive immunity in skin-contact inflammation.
Liver natural killer (NK) cells were recently reported to possess memory-like properties in contact hypersensitivity (CHS) models. However, the phenotype and origin of these "memory" NK cells cannot be distinguished from other NK cell subpopulations. Here, we define the transcriptional, phenotypic, and functional features of liver NK cell subsets and their roles in mediating CHS. Liver NK cells...
متن کاملProliferative capacity exhibited by human liver-resident CD49a+CD25+ NK cells
The recruitment and retention of Natural Killer (NK) cells in the liver are thought to play an important role during hepatotropic infections and liver cirrhosis. The aims of this study were to determine differences between liver-derived and peripheral blood-derived NK cells in the context of liver inflammation and cirrhosis. We conducted a prospective dual-center cross-sectional study in patien...
