Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a condition characterized by hepatic accumulation of excess lipids. T cells are commonly classified into various subsets based on their surface markers including cell receptors, type antigen presentation and pathophysiological functions. Several studies have implicated natural killer (NK) in the progression NAFLD. While NK mainly components innate immune system, majority can be part both adaptive systems. reported that stages NAFLD accompanied distinct with different functions phenotypes observed usually resulting proinflammatory effects. More importantly, overall stimulation intrahepatic directly influenced homeostasis gut microbiota. Similarly, been found to accumulate response pathogens tumors.

Akkermansia muciniphila, as a member of the gut microbiota, has been proposed next-generation probiotic. Liver fibrosis is main determinant liver dysfunction and mortality in patients with chronic disease. In this study, we aimed to determine beneficial effects live pasteurized A. muciniphila its extracellular vesicles (EVs) on prevention fibrosis. The response hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) EVs was examined quiescent, lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated LX-2 cells. induced 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice, using high-fat diet (HFD) carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) administration for 4 weeks. mice were concomitantly treated via oral gavage three forms bacteria. relative expression different inflammatory markers assessed tissues. Histological markers, serum biochemical parameters, cytokine production also analyzed, their correlations abundance targeted fecal bacteria examined. All preparations exhibited protective against HSC activation; however, showed greatest activity regression.
