CD1d-independent NK1.1+ Treg cells are IL2-inducible Foxp3+ T cells co-expressing immunosuppressive and cytotoxic molecules

Hyun Jung Park et al.

Summary: Regulatory T cells (Treg) are important for maintaining self-tolerance and preventing immunological diseases. A small population of Treg cells expressing NK1.1 receptors has been found, which exhibit functional characteristics of both NK cells and Treg cells. These NK1.1(+) Treg cells may play a unique regulatory role in inflammatory immune responses such as infection and autoimmunity.

Roles and therapeutic potential of CD1d-Restricted NKT cells in inflammatory skin diseases

Sung Won Lee et al.

Summary: Natural killer T (NKT) cells are innate-like T lymphocytes that play a regulatory role in skin inflammation. This article reviews the contributions of NKT cells to regulating skin inflammation and discusses the factors that influence NKT cell functions, as well as their therapeutic potential in skin-related immune diseases.

Innate and Innate-like Effector Lymphocytes in Health and Disease

Luc Van Kaer et al.

Summary: Lymphocytes can be divided into subsets belonging to the innate or adaptive arms of the immune system. Innate and innate-like lymphocytes can respond rapidly to pathogenic insults but lack classical immunological memory. They integrate danger and stress signals to generate specialized immune responses.

CD1d-Dependent iNKT Cells Control DSS-Induced Colitis in a Mouse Model of IFNγ-Mediated Hyperinflammation by Increasing IL22-Secreting ILC3 Cells

Hyun Jung Park et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the interaction between iNKT cells and ILC3s plays a crucial role in regulating intestinal inflammation in Yeti mice, particularly in ameliorating IFN gamma-mediated inflammation. iNKT cells and ILC3s cooperate to control colitis in Yeti mice, with IL9-producing iNKT cells potently enhancing IL22-producing ILC3s.

Skin-resident natural killer T cells participate in cutaneous allergic inflammation in atopic dermatitis

ZhengWang Sun et al.

Summary: The study found that CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 were significantly upregulated in the skin of humans with AD through global transcriptomic and proteomic analyses. Skin-resident CXCR4(+) NKT cells were enriched and consistently elevated in models of mice with AD, suggesting their potential role in contributing to AD pathogenesis.

Repeated α-GalCer Administration Induces a Type 2 Cytokine-Biased iNKT Cell Response and Exacerbates Atopic Skin Inflammation in Vα14Tg NC/Nga Mice

Hyun Jung Park et al.

Summary: Repeated activation of iNKT cells with alpha-GalCer in Vα14(Tg) NC mice exacerbates AD symptoms, correlating with increased Th2 cells, decreased Th1 and Foxp3(+) Treg cells, and a biased expansion of type 2 cytokine-deviated iNKT cells, highlighting the adverse effect on skin inflammation mediated by type 2 immunity.

Selective Expansion of Double-Negative iNKT Cells Inhibits the Development of Atopic Dermatitis in VαE14 TCR Transgenic NC/Nga Mice by Increasing Memory-Type CD8+ T and Regulatory CD4+ T Cells

Hyun Jung Park et al.

Summary: The study identified double-negative iNKT cells as promising cellular targets to prevent AD pathogenesis in NC mice. The T helper type-1 dominant cytokine profile of double-negative iNKT cells from V alpha 14(Tg) NC mice may explain the expansion of CD4(+) regulatory T cells and memory-type CD8(+) T cells, ultimately protecting against AD development.

RORα is critical for mTORC1 activity in T cell-mediated colitis

Xinxin Chi et al.

Summary: The study found that RORα is highly expressed in active UC patients, especially in those non-responsive to anti-TNF treatment. RORα plays a crucial role in promoting IBD development in CD4(+) T cells by regulating T cell infiltration, inhibiting T cell apoptosis, and promoting mTORC1 activation. This indicates that the RORα-mTORC1 axis may be a potential therapeutic target for human patients with IBD.

Intestinal Regulatory T Cells as Specialized Tissue-Restricted Immune Cells in Intestinal Immune Homeostasis and Disease

Justin Jacobse et al.

Summary: Intestinal FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells play a crucial role in maintaining immune balance and preventing autoimmunity in the gut. Dysregulation of these cells can lead to chronic inflammatory disorders, including inflammatory bowel disease, highlighting the importance of understanding their biology for therapeutic interventions. Intestinal Treg cells are not fixed subsets, but rather plastic and responsive to microenvironmental cues, similar to T helper cells.
