Increased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملNatural killer cells: In health and disease.
Natural killer (NK) cells constitute our bodies' frontline defense system, guarding against tumors and launching attacks against infections. The activities of NK cells are regulated by the interaction of various receptors expressed on their surfaces with cell surface ligands. While the role of NK cells in controlling tumor activity is relatively clear, the fact that they are also linked to vari...
متن کاملDo natural killer cells participate in a killer vascular disease?
The article reporting on the exacerbated atherosclerosis in the double mutant, Lyst, LDL receptor (LDLR) knockout is important in drawing attention to the possible involvement of natural killer (NK) cells in atherogenesis.1 It is appropriate that NK cells come into focus: a recent review on immune mechanisms in atherosclerosis made scant mention of NK cells,2 and they are important cytolytic ce...
متن کاملNatural Killer Cells in the Orchestration of Chronic Inflammatory Diseases
Inflammation, altered immune cell phenotype, and functions are key features shared by diverse chronic diseases, including cardiovascular, neurodegenerative diseases, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cancer. Natural killer cells are innate lymphoid cells primarily involved in the immune system response to non-self-components but their plasticity is largely influenced by the pathological microen...
متن کاملThiopurine use associated with reduced B and natural killer cells in inflammatory bowel disease
AIM To identify which blood and mucosal lymphocyte populations are specifically depleted by thiopurine use in vivo. METHODS The thiopurines azathioprine and 6-mercaptopurine have been a mainstay of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy for decades, but their mechanism of action in vivo remains obscure. Although thiopurines are lymphotoxic at high doses, and have been reported to cause T ce...
