Abstract

This study investigated the substantial variability in the quality of liver natural killer (NK) cells from deceased donors (DDs). This study assessed liver nonparenchymal cells from 51 DDs for activation receptors and cytotoxicity against K562 (leukemia) and HepG2 (hepatoma) cell lines. The results indicated variability in TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) and NK stimulatory receptor NK group 2 member D (NKG2D) expression in liver NK cells from DDs, which correlated with cytotoxicity against tumor cell lines. In addition, the white blood cell (WBC) count, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level, body mass index (BMI), and platelet count were significantly associated with enhanced TRAIL and NKG2D expression. A predictive score integrating AST/platelet ratio index, BMI, and WBC count was developed to effectively identify DDs with high antitumor activity in liver NK cells. This score is expected to predict DDs with high-quality liver NK cells, which can be used for the purpose of immunotherapies.

期刊介绍： Cell Transplantation, The Regenerative Medicine Journal is an open access, peer reviewed journal that is published 12 times annually. Cell Transplantation is a multi-disciplinary forum for publication of articles on cell transplantation and its applications to human diseases. Articles focus on a myriad of topics including the physiological, medical, pre-clinical, tissue engineering, stem cell, and device-oriented aspects of the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, and endothelial systems, as well as genetically engineered cells. Cell Transplantation also reports on relevant technological advances, clinical studies, and regulatory considerations related to the implantation of cells into the body in order to provide complete coverage of the field.
