Ruxolitinib does not completely abrogate the functional capabilities of TLR4/9 ligand-activated NK cells

Abstract: IntroductionNatural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes from the innate immune system part of the first defense barrier against infected and transformed cells, representing 5%-15% of peripheral blood lymphocytes. The cytotoxic capacity of NK cells is controlled by a balance between inhibitory and activating NK receptors expressed on their surface, which recognize and interact with the ligands on stressed cells. The cytokines involved in NK cell activation, proliferation, survival, and cytotoxicity are signaled m… Show more

“…To activate NK cells in vitro, these cells can be stimulated with a macrophage-derived cytokine mixture (e.g. IL-12/18) or TLR agonists [ 3 , 9 ]. To activate isolated NK cells, they were challenged with TLR-agonists (LPS and Pam3CSK4), which were previously used to induce inflammation in the liver-on-a-chip model.…”

“…The liver acts as an innate immunity-dominant organ and natural killer (NK) cells therefore provide the first line of defense against pathogens, infections or tumors [ 1 , 2 ]. NK cells are the main lymphocyte population in the human liver accounting for up to 50%, commonly defined by expression of the surface marker CD (cluster of differentiation) 56 and lack of CD3 expression [ 3 , 4 ]. During liver disease the hepatic NK cell number is modulated, possibly due to increased recruitment of circulating NK cells to the liver [ 5 7 ].…”
