ObjectiveIn 15% of patients with complete hydatidiform mole (CHM), disease progresses to post-molar gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN) after curettage. Tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) are essential in overcoming many tumors. Infiltrating lymphocyte composition and density may influence trophoblast regression development GTN. We analyzed immune cell curettaged endometrium CHM which ...
Lipids presented by the MHC class I-like molecule, CD1d, are recognized by NK T (NKT) cells, which can be broadly categorized into two subsets. The well-characterized type I NKT cells express a semi-invariant TCR and can recognize both α- and β-linked glycolipids, whereas type II NKT cells are less well studied, express a relatively diverse TCR repertoire, and recognize β-linked lipids. Recent ...
Natural killer T (NKT) cells modulate immune responses against pathogens and tumours, as well as immunological tolerance. We show here that CYLD, a tumour suppressor with deubiquitinase function, has a pivotal and cell-intrinsic function in NKT cell development. Unlike other known NKT regulators, CYLD is dispensable for intrathymic NKT cell maturation but is obligatory for the survival of immat...
Natural Killer T (NKT) cells are distinct T cell subset that link innate and adaptive immune responses. IL-1β, produced by various immune cells, plays a key role in the regulation of innate immunity in vivo. However, it is unclear whether NKT cells regulate IL-1β production by macrophages. To address this, we co-cultured NKT cells and peritoneal macrophages in the presence of TCR stimulation an...
Type I natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes that recognize glycolipid antigens presented by the MHC class I-like protein CD1d. Agonistic activation of NKT cells leads to rapid pro-inflammatory and immune modulatory cytokine and chemokine responses. This property of NKT cells, in conjunction with their interactions with antigen-presenting cells, controls downstream innate a...
Context: Human Natural Killer T cells are T lymphocytes that express an invariant T cells receptors and NK cells receptors. They regulate innate and adaptive immune response but are susceptible to HIV-1 infection. Objective: We compare the frequency and the activity of NKT cells in HIV-1 and HIV-2 infected individuals with CD4 counts greater than 500/mm using flow cytometry after overnight s...
Pseudomonas aeruginosa exotoxin A (PEA) causes T cell- and Kupffer cell (KC)-dependent liver injury in mice. TNF-alpha as well as IL-18 and perforin are important mediators of liver damage following PEA injection. In this study, we focus on the role of NK and NKT cells in PEA-induced liver toxicity. Depletion of both NK and NKT cells by injection of anti-NK1.1 Ab as well as depletion of NK cell...
NK cells are key regulators of innate defense against mouse CMV (MCMV). Like NK cells, NKT cells also produce high levels of IFN-γ rapidly after MCMV infection. However, whether similar mechanisms govern activation of these two cell types, as well as the significance of NKT cells for host resistance, remain unknown. In this article, we show that, although both NKT and NK cells are activated via...
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 assessed. The frequencies of CD3(+) T, CD4(+) T, CD8(+) T, B, NK, and NKT-like cells were determined using flow cytometry. The frequencies of sponta...
The immunoregulatory function of NKT cells is crucial for prevention of autoimmunity. The prototypical NKT cell Ag alpha-galactosylceramide is not present in mammalian cells, and little is known about the mechanism responsible for NKT cell recruitment and activation. Up-regulation of CD1d, the NKT cell restriction molecule, expressed on mononuclear cells infiltrating the target organ, could rep...
