Human leukocyte antigen-G and cancer immunoediting.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immunosurveillance is an extrinsic mechanism of cancer suppression that eliminates nascent tumors. However, the selection imposed by immunosurveillance can drive tumor evolution and the emergence of clinically apparent neoplasms. Mechanisms of immune escape acquired by less immunogenic variants during this process, termed immunoediting, may contribute significantly to malignant progression. In this review, we summarize the evidence that up-regulation of the nonclassic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I molecule HLA-G in tumor cells plays an important role in cancer and immune escape.

Human Leukocyte Antigen-G Expression on Dendritic Cells Induced by Transforming Growth Factor-β1 and CD4+ T Cells Proliferation
Background: During antigen capture and processing, mature dendritic cells (DC) express large amounts of peptide-MHC complexes and accessory molecules on their surface. DC are antigen-presenting cells that have an important role in tolerance and autoimmunity. The transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-β1) cytokine has a regulatory role on the immune and non-immune cells. The aim of this study is ...

Background: During pregnancy, the maternal immune system is in close contact with cells and tissue from the semiallogenic fetus .The human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class Ib molecules, HLA-E, -F and -G, are expressed at the materno-fetal interface. Because of the apparent immunoregulatory functions of these proteins, they may be involved in successful acceptance of the semi-allogenic fetus during...

Background: Recurrent Pregnancy Loss (RPL) is a multifactorial disease that affects 1-3% of couples. Since Human Leukocyte Antigen-G (HLA-G) gene is involved in fetal maternal immune tolerance, mutations in the HLA-G gene can affect the success rate of pregnancy. Objective: The present study aims to investigate the haplotype effect of rs1736933 and rs2735022 polymorphisms found in the HLA-G ge...

Malignant conditions can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus (1). Currently, conventional TNM staging is the most important prognostic factor for determining the clinical outcome of GI cancer. However, clinical studies have shown that patients with similar stages of the ...
