摘要: Background & Aims: Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel characterized by uncontrolled immune responses to bacterial flora, with excessive activation of T lymphocytes. MICA a stress-induced major histocompatibility complex–related molecule expressed on normal intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) and recognized the NKG2D-activating receptor CD8 + cells, γδ natural killer cells. We examined role MICA-NKG2D interactions in lymphocytes CD. Methods: expression was analyzed flow cytometry IECs isolated from patients active controls. NKG2D function were lamina propria peripheral blood Results: significantly increased CD, higher macroscopically involved areas. A subset CD4 expressing CD compared controls ulcerative colitis. Th1 cytokine profile perforin periphery mucosa T-cell clones functionally through interactions, producing interferon-γ killing targets MICA. had ability expand this vitro. highly interleukin-15Rα, interleukin-15 DAP10 clones. Conclusions: These findings highlight unique cytotoxic properties
