CXCL12-CXCR4-Mediated Chemotaxis Supports Accumulation of Mucosal-Associated Invariant T Cells Into the Liver of Patients With PBC

Zhilei Chen et al.

Summary: The study showed that in patients with PBC, MAIT cells in the peripheral blood were significantly reduced and negatively correlated with alkaline phosphatase levels. MAIT cells from PBC patients accumulated in the liver, expressed higher levels of CXCR4 and CXCL12, produced more pro-inflammatory cytokines, and were influenced by elevated IL-18 levels. Targeting MAIT cells may be a potential therapeutic approach for PBC.

MAIT cells regulate NK cell-mediated tumor immunity

Emma Petley et al.

Summary: The study reveals that activated MAIT cells can induce an IFN-gamma transcriptome in NK cells and enhance NK-dependent anti-cancer immunity in mice, suggesting a new potential avenue for cancer therapy.

Persistent deficiency of mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells during alcohol-related liver disease

Yujue Zhang et al.

Summary: The levels of MAIT cells were significantly decreased in patients with alcoholic fatty liver disease, alcoholic cirrhosis, and mixed cirrhosis. Functional changes among circulating MAIT cells in patients with alcoholic cirrhosis included increased production of IL-17A and perforin, and reduced production of TNF-alpha. Our findings suggest that MAIT cells can be promising indicator and therapeutic targets in ALD.
