Tissue-resident natural killer cells.
Natural killer (NK) cells kill infected and tumor cells and produce cytokines that modulate other immune cells. However, most of our current knowledge is derived from investigations of mouse splenic and human peripheral blood NK cells, "conventional" NK cells. Herein we discuss recent studies indicating that the liver contains two subpopulations of NK cells, one of which is liver-resident and b...
متن کاملActivated Tissue-Resident Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Regulate Natural Killer Cell Immune and Tissue-Regenerative Function
The interaction of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) with natural killer (NK) cells is traditionally thought of as a static inhibitory model, whereby resting MSCs inhibit NK cell effector function. Here, we use a dynamic in vitro system of poly(I:C) stimulation to model the interaction of NK cells and tissue-resident MSCs in the context of infection or tissue injury. The experiments suggest a ti...
متن کاملHuman Circulating and Tissue-Resident CD56bright Natural Killer Cell Populations
Two human natural killer (NK) cell subsets are usually distinguished, displaying the CD56(dim)CD16(+) and the CD56(bright)CD16(-/+) phenotype. This distinction is based on NK cells present in blood, where the CD56(dim) NK cells predominate. However, CD56(bright) NK cells outnumber CD56(dim) NK cells in the human body due to the fact that they are predominant in peripheral and lymphoid tissues. ...
متن کاملIncreased 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 کاملTissue-resident natural killer (NK) cells are cell lineages distinct from thymic and conventional splenic NK cells
Natural killer (NK) cells belong to the innate immune system; they can control virus infections and developing tumors by cytotoxicity and producing inflammatory cytokines. Most studies of mouse NK cells, however, have focused on conventional NK (cNK) cells in the spleen. Recently, we described two populations of liver NK cells, tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells and those resembling splenic cNK ce...
