Hepatic Regeneration-Revisiting the Myth of Prometheus.
Myriad signals such as growth factors, cytokines, growth inhibitors, hormones, ions, extracellular matrix, and the resident hepatic cells are involved in the regulation of hepatic regeneration. These regulatory factors ultimately mediate changes in gene expression, a critical step in this well-orchestrated restorative process.
متن کاملHepatic NKT cells: friend or foe?
The innate immune system represents a critical first line of host response to infectious, injurious and inflammatory insults. NKT cells (natural killer T-cells) are an important, but relatively poorly understood, component of the innate immune response. Moreover, NKT cells are enriched within the liver, suggesting that within the hepatic compartment NKT cells probably fulfil important roles in ...
متن کاملNKT cells inhibit the development of experimental crescentic glomerulonephritis.
CD1d is an MHC class I-like, beta2-microglobulin-associated protein, constitutively expressed by antigen-presenting cells and some epithelial cells, which is recognized by NKT cells, a subpopulation of T cells. CD1d-dependent NKT cells confer protection in immune-mediated disorders, but whether these cells modulate the development of glomerulonephritis is unknown. Experimental crescentic glomer...
متن کاملInvariant NKT cells inhibit development of the Th17 lineage.
T cells differentiate into functionally distinct effector subsets in response to pathogen encounter. Cells of the innate immune system direct this process; CD1d-restricted invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, for example, can either promote or inhibit Th(1) and Th(2) responses. Recently, a new subset of CD4(+) T helper cells, called Th(17), was identified that is implicated in mucosal immun...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulator Id2 controls survival of hepatic NKT cells.
Natural killer T cells expressing an invariant T-cell receptor (iNKT) regulate activation of both innate and adaptive immunity in many contexts. iNKT cells accumulate in the liver and rapidly produce prodigious amounts of numerous cytokines upon activation, impacting the immune response to viral infection, immunosurveillance for malignant cells, and liver regeneration. However, little is known ...
