Abstract

Immune cells play an important role in controlling liver tumorigenesis, viral hepatitis, liver fibrosis and contribute to pathogenesis of liver inflammation and injury. Accumulating evidence suggests the effectiveness of natural killer (NK) cells and Kupffer cells (KCs) against viral hepatitis, hepatocellular damage, liver fibrosis, and carcinogenesis. Activation of natural killer cells provides a novel therapeutic strategy to cure liver related diseases. This review discusses the emerging roles of immune cells in liver disorders and it will provide baseline data to scientists to design better therapies for treatment.

Resumen

Los inmunocitos o células inmunitarias desempeñan un papel importante en el control de la carcinogénesis hepática, la hepatitis vírica, la fibrosis hepática y contribuyen a la patogénesis de la inflamación y la lesión hepáticas. La creciente evidencia sugiere la efectividad de los linfocitos citolíticos naturales (NK, natural killer) y las células de Kupffer (KC, Kupffer cells) frente a la hepatitis vírica, la lesión hepatocelular, la fibrosis hepática y la carcinogénesis. La activación de linfocitos citolíticos naturales ofrece una nueva estrategia terapéutica para curar enfermedades relacionadas con el hígado. Esta revisión trata de las nuevas funciones de los inmunocitos en los trastornos hepáticos y ofrecerá datos básicos a los científicos para diseñar mejores terapias para el tratamiento.
