Objective: To investigate the interaction between myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and nature killer cells during acute fulminate hepatitis.
Methods: Acute fulminate hepatitis were induced by i.p. co-injection of LPS and D-GalN in mice, and the ratio of MDSCs,NK cells and the activation of NK cells in different tissues were analyzed by FACS at 0 h,1.5 h,3 h and 6 h.
Results: The percentage of MDSCs and NKG2D+NK cells in different tissues increased as acute fulminate hepatitis progressed, with the increased NK cells in liver tissue. The mean fluorescence intensity of NKG2D on NK cells in different tissues were also enhanced.
Conclusion: MDSCs induce the proliferation and activation of NK cells in mice with acute fulminate hepatitis.

Immunotherapy-induced hepatitis is a well-known and relatively common side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors. It is usually mild to moderate and responds well to corticosteroids with a full recovery. However, in rare cases, severe liver injury may develop, leading to fulminant liver failure.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a fulminant clinical syndrome that usually leads to multiple organ failure and high mortality. Macrophages play a crucial role in the initiation, development, and recovery of ALF. Targeting macrophages through immunotherapy holds significant promise as a therapeutic strategy.

Background Cholangitis, or bile duct infection, can present in two primary forms, namely, acute ascending cholangitis (the milder form) and acute fulminant cholangitis (the more severe variety). In all types of cholangitis, bile duct obstruction occurs, with choledocholithiasis (the presence of gallstones in the bile duct) being the leading cause of this blockage. is the most commonly isolated pathogen in these infections.

Background: Fulminant virus-associated encephalopathy (VAE) is a rare complication of viral infection that presents as acute brain dysfunction and requires respiratory support and/or vasoactive agents. However, the mechanism of VAE is undetermined. The mortality rate is high since there is no specific treatment for fulminant VAE.

Acute liver failure (ALF) is a rare but rapidly progressing syndrome, marked by severe liver dysfunction and altered mental status. While definitions of ALF vary across different guidelines, with timelines ranging from 4 to 26 weeks between jaundice onset and encephalopathy, the key defining features remain encephalopathy and coagulopathy. Elevated coagulation markers, particularly prothrombin time and international normalized ratio, have traditionally been associated with bleeding risks.
