Diversity, localization, and (patho)physiology of mature ...- diversity of tissue-resident nk cells in the body ,The bone marrow (BM) is responsible for generating and maintaining lifelong output of blood and immune cells. In addition to its key hematopoietic function, the BM acts as an important lymphoid organ, hosting a large variety of mature lymphocyte populations, including B cells, T cells, natural killer T cells, and innate lymphoid cells.The Broad Spectrum of Human Natural Killer Cell Diversity ...Natural killer (NK) cells provide protection against infectious pathogens and cancer. For decades it has been appreciated that two major NK cell subsets (CD56 bright and CD56 dim) exist in humans and have distinct anatomical localization patterns, phenotypes, and functions in immunity.In light of this traditional NK cell dichotomy, it is now clear that the spectrum of human NK cell diversity ...
Apr 09, 2020·Toward unraveling NK cell diversity, scRNA-seq studies have been performed in human tonsil NK cells, in comparison with developmentally related ILCs, 45 and on matched spleen and blood human NK cells 56 or NK cells from human bone marrow and blood. 49 However, these studies either did not resolve subsets, only resolved the CD56 dim and CD56 ...
IV. Tissue-resident NK (trNK) Cells. In the liver, a population of NK cells appeared to be similar to immature cNK cells because they express similar surface markers such as NK1.1 and NKp46 and low levels of CD11b [3, 6, 8].Moreover, they are DX5 − and display high levels of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). This immature phenotype gave the impression that organs such as the ...
Currently, NK cells are known as a heterogeneous population of innate lymphoid cell (ILC) family, consisting of different subsets with unique phenotypic and …
Apr 09, 2014·Natural killer (NK) cells are immune system cells essential for fighting cancer and viral infections. Scientists had believed those cells circulated around the body until they encountered unwanted microbes and killed them, but new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that some NK cells spend their whole lives in the liver, the skin or other organs. …
Jul 06, 2021·Abstract. The liver is a major metastatic target organ, and little is known about the role of immunity in controlling hepatic metastases. Here, we discovered that the concerted and nonredundant action of two innate lymphocyte subpopulations, conventional natural killer cells (cNKs) and tissue-resident type I innate lymphoid cells (trILC1s), is essential for antimetastatic defense.
Jun 11, 2021·It is now clear that most human organs, both lymphoid and non-lymphoid, contain tissue-resident NK cells expressing canonical tissue-residency markers …
Additional studies have further defined this hepatic-specific subset of NK cells, with CXCR6 + NK cells demonstrating an immature, tissue resident phenotype that are T-bet lo Eomes hi [28,29]. However, the molecular mechanisms that explain the ability for NK cells to discriminate between distinct haptens in the absence of RAG-mediated receptor ...
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 ...
Different subsets of NK cells and ILC1 are found in different tissues in the body, giving rise to populations that either circulate in the body between compartments (mobile circulating) or do not transition between the blood and tissues, remaining predominantly ‘tissue-resident’.
Sep 14, 2020·Studies of tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells reveal the existence of phenotypic and functional heterogeneity that far exceeds the immune surveillance role originally attributed to NK cells. Environmental factors and/or epigenetic modifications of NK cell genes via DNA methylation may shape trNK cell functional diversity ( 7 ).
Nov 13, 2019·Cells in the human body number in the trillions and come in all shapes and sizes. These tiny structures are the basic unit of living organisms. Cells comprise tissues, tissues make up organs, organs form organ systems, and organ systems work together to create an organism and keep it alive.. Each type of cell in the human body is specially equipped for its role.
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. Interestingly, within the total CD56(bright) NK cell compartment, a major phenotypical and functional diversity is observed, as demonstrated by the discovery of tissue-resident CD56(bright ...

Interestingly, within the total CD56bright NK cell compartment, a major phenotypical and functional diversity is observed, as demonstrated by the discovery of tissue-resident CD56bright NK cells ...
NK cells are also found in mucosal tissue, including the small intestine. Intestinal Lin − NKp46 + NK1.1 + cells consist of Eomes + RORγt-fate map − cNK cells …

Jan 03, 2021·Effector memory T-cells (T EM cells) circulate in the blood whereas tissue resident memory T-cells (T RM cells) are found within the epithelium of the skin and mucous membranes. CD8 T RM cells are typically activated by viral antigens and subsequently produce inflammatory cytokines that trigger an innate immune response for nonspecific ...

Aug 23, 2021·CD8+ resident memory T (TRM) cells from different tissues form a heterogeneous population. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-β-independent CD103– TRM cells …
Jan 08, 2021·NK cells are a type of white blood cell that acts as an immunological first responder, quickly detecting and destroying any cells without proper molecular ID proving they are “self” – native body cells or at least permanent residents – which takes the form of highly individualized molecules called MHC class I (MHC-I).
However, tissue localization may influence NK cell differentiation to an even higher extent and less is known about the receptor repertoire of human tissue-resident NK cells. Advances in single-cell technologies have allowed higher resolution studies of these cells.
NK cells are innate lymphocytes that belong to the rapidly expanding family of innate lymphoid cells (ILC) and represent 5–20% of all circulating lymphocytes in humans. 1 –3 However, in contrast with these conventional NK (cNK) cells in terms of their phenotype, function, and ontogeny, tissue-resident NK (trNK) cells have been observed in organs such as the lungs, liver, kidneys, lymph ...
Sep 18, 2013·Tissue-resident macrophages are a heterogeneous population of immune cells that fulfill tissue-specific and niche-specific functions. These range from …
Feb 03, 2020·By contrast, precursor and immature NK cells with reduced effector capacity prevail in lymph nodes and intestines, exhibiting tissue resident signatures and site-specific adaptations. Together, our results reveal anatomic control of NK cell development and maintenance as tissue resident populations, while mature, terminally differentiated ...
