Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play an important role in cancer expansion and progression in tumor microenvironment (TME), via both direct and indirect interactions. Natural killer (NK) cells play a crucial role in anticancer immunity. We investigated the inhibitory effects of CAFs on NK cell activity. CAFs were isolated from endometrial cancer tissue, while normal endometrial fibroblasts...
Because NK cells secrete cytotoxic granules and cytokines that can destroy surrounding cells and help shape the subsequent immune response, they must be kept under tight control. Several mechanisms, at different levels, are in place to control NK cell function. In this study, we describe a novel mechanism regulating NK cell function in which NK cells acquire ligands for activating receptors fro...
Background: Perforin is known to be important in cytolytic activity mediated by natural killer (NK) cells. Objective: To study the relationship between the efficiency of NK and lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells activity, and the expression of perforin and HLA class I molecules. Methods: LAK cells were generated by in vitro culturing of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) in the ...
NK-2 is a homeodomain protein essential for the development of the central nervous system in the Drosophila embryo. Here, we show that the vnd/NK-2 gene encodes an additional protein isoform (NK-2B) that differs from the known one (NK-2A) in its N-terminal domain. While NK-2A is a transcription repressor, NK-2B directly activates transcription from promoters containing NK-2 binding sites, with ...
Natural Killer (NK) cells are innate immune lymphocytes specializing in recognition and killing of tumors and pathogens, using an array of activating and inhibitory receptors. NK inhibition is mediated by a large repertoire of inhibitory receptors, whereas a limited number of activating NK cell receptors execute NK cell activation. The ligands recognized by the activating receptors are stress-i...
Many chemokine receptors are typically found on natural killer cells, including CX3CR1, the receptor for the chemokine Fractalkine (FKN). This study explored whether interaction between CX3CR1 and FKN is relevant for NK cell functions in cytotoxicity against tumors. FKN expression was examined by polymerase chain reaction and CX3CR1 expression in NK cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. NK cell...
مقدمه: سلول های کشنده طبیعی (nk)،از طریق مکانیسم هایی همچون سایتوتوکسیسیتی و تولید سایتوکاین ، اولین خط دفاعی علیه عفونت ها بشمار می آیند. توانایی سایتوتوکسیسیتی سلول های nk با پذیرنده های شبه ایمونوگلوبولینی سلول های کشنده (kir) موجود در سطح سلول ارتباط دارد. برهمکنش میان kirها و مولکول های آنتی ژن لکوسیتی انسان (hla) کلاس i، پاسخ های سلول های nk را در حذف سلول های عفونی تنظیم می کند. بنابراین...
زمینه و هدف: جنین نیمه آلوژن در تماس مستقیم با سیستم ایمنی مادر قرار دارد. عدم تنظیم سیستم ایمنی، سبب دفع جنین توسط مادر می گردد. مولکول hla-g1، که در القای تحمل در دوران بارداری نقش داشته، با مهار سلول های کشنده طبیعی، از تهاجم به سلول های تروفوبلاست جنینی جلوگیری می کند. هدف از این مطالعه، بررسی تعداد سلول های nk و بیان hla-g1 در خانم های باردار تهدید به سقط در مقایسه با گروه کنترل بود. روش ب...
Natural killer (NK) cells are known to target cancer stem cells and undifferentiated tumors. In this paper, we provide a novel strategy for expanding large numbers of super-charged NK cells with significant potential to lyse and differentiate cancer stem cells and demonstrate the differences in the dynamics of NK cell expansion between healthy donors and cancer patients. Decline in cytotoxicity...
In rodents, liver natural killer (NK) cells have been shown to mediate higher cytotoxic activity against tumor cells than do peripheral blood (PB) NK cells. However, such differences between liver and PB NK cells have not been extensively investigated in humans. The phenotypical and functional properties of NK cells extracted from liver perfusates at the time of living donor liver transplantati...
