Abstract:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a leading cause of mortality worldwide with Diabetes and human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection as risk factors. CAD's influence on human NK cells is not well characterized. CITE-seq analysis of a CAD cohort of 61 patients revealed distinctly higher NK cell SPON2 expression and lower IFNG expression in severe CAD patients. Interestingly, HCMV+ patients displayed lower SPON2 expression while diabetes status reversed the HCMV effect. Diabetes led to diminished adaptive FcεRIγ -/l… Show more
