Human CD56dimCD16dim Cells As an Individualized Natural Killer Cell Subset
Human natural killer (NK) cells can be subdivided in several subpopulations on the basis of the relative expression of the adhesion molecule CD56 and the activating receptor CD16. Whereas blood CD56brightCD16dim/- NK cells are classically viewed as immature precursors and cytokine producers, the larger CD56dimCD16bright subset is considered as the most cytotoxic one. In peripheral blood of heal...
متن کاملProximal tubular dysfunction as an indicator of chronic graft dysfunction.
New strategies are being devised to limit the impact of renal sclerosis on graft function. Individualization of immunosuppression, specifically the interruption of calcineurin-inhibitors has been tried in order to promote better graft survival once chronic graft dysfunction has been established. However, the long-term impact of these approaches is still not totally clear. Nevertheless, patients...
متن کاملMyostatin Suppression of Akirin1 Mediates Glucocorticoid-Induced Satellite Cell Dysfunction
Glucocorticoids production is increased in many pathological conditions that are associated with muscle loss, but their role in causing muscle wasting is not fully understood. We have demonstrated a new mechanism of glucocorticoid-induced muscle atrophy: Dexamethasone (Dex) suppresses satellite cell function contributing to the development of muscle atrophy. Specifically, we found that Dex decr...
متن کاملNatural killer cell deficiency.
Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune defense against infection and cancer and are especially useful in combating certain viral pathogens. The utility of NK cells in human health has been underscored by a growing number of persons who are deficient in NK cells and/or their functions. This can be in the context of a broader genetically defined congenital immunodeficiency, of wh...
متن کاملNatural killer cell neoplasms.
Lymphoid neoplasms that are derived from natural killer (NK) cells are uncommon but distinct clinicopathologic disease entities. Three types have been recognized and categorized in the latest World Health Organization classification: extranodal NK cell lymphoma, nasal-type; aggressive NK cell leukemia; and blastic NK cell lymphoma. All NK tumor cells express the NK cell marker CD56, but they la...
