STAT1 signaling shields T cells from NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity

STAT1 signaling shields T cells from NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity, Published online: 22 February 2019; doi:10.1038/s41467-019-08743-8

The JAK-STAT signaling pathway is important for cytokine responses and CD4 T-cell differentiation. Here the authors show that Stat1 also serves to protect CD4 T cells from natural killer cell-mediated killing, potentially by promoting the expression of Nlrc5 and MHC-I, to preserve the induction of experimental colitis via the adoptive transfer of CD4 T cells.
