Natural Killer T Cells in Cancer Immunotherapy
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are specialized CD1d-restricted T cells that recognize lipid antigens. Following stimulation, NKT cells lead to downstream activation of both innate and adaptive immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. This has impelled the development of NKT cell-targeted immunotherapies for treating cancer. In this review, we provide a brief overview of the stimulatory and reg...
متن کاملNatural Killer Cell-Based Immunotherapy in Gynecologic Malignancy: A Review
Harnessing the immune system has proven an effective therapy in treating malignancies. Since the discovery of natural killer (NK) cells, strategies aimed to manipulate and augment their effector function against cancer have been the subject of intense research. Recent progress in the immunobiology of NK cells has led to the development of promising therapeutic approaches. In this review, we wil...
متن کاملOptimization of natural killer T cell-mediated immunotherapy in cancer using cell-based and nanovector vaccines.
α-Galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) represents a new class of immune stimulators and vaccine adjuvants that activate type I natural killer T (NKT) cells to swiftly release cytokines and to exert helper functions for acquired immune responses. This unique property prompted clinicians to exploit the antitumor potential of NKT cells. Here, we review the effects of α-GalCer in (pre)clinics and discuss ...
متن کاملHyperthermia Increases Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity against SW-872 Liposarcoma Cell Line
Background: Although there is convincing data in support of the effectiveness of hyperthermia in tumor therapy, the molecular mechanisms underlying the clinical effects of hyperthermia are still poorly understood. Objective: To investigate natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity against heat-treated SW-872 and HeLa tumor cell lines. Methods: NKG2D ligands and HLA class I transcription were examin...
متن کاملFuture Prospects of Natural Killer Cell-Based Targeted Immunotherapy of Cancer
Natural Killer (NK) cells are a fundamental component of the innate immune system, capable of recognizing and destroying tumor cells as well as cells that have been infected by viruses or bacteria [1]. NK cells play an important role in adaptive immunity by modulating dendritic cell function as well as controlling antigen-specific T cell responses. Recent finding have shown that NK cells have m...
