    Abstract Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes, now recognized as members of a larger family of "Innate lymphoid cells" (ILCs). Both murine and human NK cells are well characterized effector cells with cytotoxic as well as cytokine production ability which mainly react in response to microbial and cell stress stimuli, thus playing a central role in the defense against pathogen infection, in tumor surveillance and in regulating immune homeostasis. Despite these established concepts, our understanding of the complexity of NK cells, also in view of their developmental and functional relationship with other ILC subsets, is only recently emerging. This Research Topic highlights the recent advances in NK cell (and ILC) research in human and mouse from basic research to clinical applications

    Abstract Clonal expansion of antigen-specific lymphocytes is the fundamental mechanism enabling potent adaptive immune responses and the generation of immune memory. Accompanied by pronounced epigenetic remodeling, the massive proliferation of individual cells generates a critical mass of effectors for the control of acute infections, as well as a pool of memory cells protecting against future pathogen encounters. Classically associated with the adaptive immune system, recent work has demonstrated that innate immune memory to human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is stably maintained as large clonal expansions of natural killer (NK) cells, raising questions on the mechanisms for clonal selection and expansion in the absence of re-arranged antigen receptors. Here, we discuss clonal NK cell memory in the context of the mechanisms underlying clonal competition of adaptive lymphocytes and propose alternative selection mechanisms that might decide on the clonal success of their innate counterparts. We propose that the integration of external cues with cell-intrinsic sources of heterogeneity, such as variegated receptor expression, transcriptional states, and somatic variants, compose a bottleneck for clonal selection, contributing to the large size of memory NK cell clones.

    Abstract Group 1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC) comprise two major IFN-γ producing populations, namely Natural Killer (NK) cells, and ILC1s. Recent studies have revealed a complex and diverse composition of group 1 ILC subsets infiltrating different tumors. In this review, we will outline the commonalities and differences between group 1 ILC subsets in both mice and humans, discuss how the tissue and tumor microenvironment shapes their phenotype and functions, as well as describe their contrasting roles in the response to different cancers.

    Title translation Role of innate receptors in chronic inflammation and autoimmunity.
    Abstract Elucidating the basis of chronic disease courses and the development of appropriate treatment methods for inflammatory diseases still represent a big challenge for medical science, as the mechanisms driving aberrant immune reactions are mostly still unknown. Of particular interest is the identification of checkpoints that regulate the function and differentiation of proinflammatory cells during the pathogenesis, along with methods for modulation of specific checkpoints as a treatment approach. Innate receptors, such as members of the natural killer group 2 family (NKG2X), natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCR) or Toll-like receptors (TLRs), play an important role in modulating the immune response. NKG2 member D (NKG2D) is a potent activating receptor of the immune system, known as a sentinel for cellular danger signals presented by cells exposed to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, cell death or an inflammatory cytokine milieu. NKG2A/C bind the non-classical HLA class I molecule, sense changes in ligand expression associated with malignant transformation and cellular stress and their main function is to send inhibitory or activating signals to NK cells and subsets of T cells. In this review, we present our latest knowledge on the understanding of the role of innate receptors in the context of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity with special emphasis on danger sensor receptors NKG2D and NKG2A/C.
