In contrast, MAIT, CD3+CD4-CD8- double negative (DN) T cells, NKT, γδ T cells and NK cells expressed high levels of NKG2D and for the latter four its expression was further increased in response to a NASH-inducing diet (Fig. 4a and Fig. S4a). This evidence concerns the gene KLRK1 and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis.
