Expression of CD226 is associated to but not required for NK cell education [PDF]
CD226 is an activating receptor expressed in a co-varied manner with inhibitory receptors on natural killer (NK) cells, but whether CD226 is involved in NK cell education is unclear. Here the authors show that CD226 expression is plastic depending on the

CD226 identifies effector CD8+ T cells during tuberculosis and costimulates recognition of Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages [PDF]
Summary: CD8+ T cells defend against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection but variably recognize Mtb-infected macrophages. To investigate how chronic infection affects the diversity of lung parenchymal CD8+ T cells, we perform single-cell RNA ...

iPSC-derived NK cells engineered with CD226 effectively control acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]
CD226 plays a vital role in NK cell cytotoxicity, interacting with its ligands on tumor targets. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells have developed mechanisms to escape NK cell cytotoxicity, including inducing downregulation of CD226 on NK cells.

Polyfunctional CD8+CD226+RUNX2hi effector T cells are diminished in advanced stages of chronic lymphocytic leukemia [PDF]
CD8+ T cells, a subset of T cells identified by the surface glycoprotein CD8, particularly those expressing the co‐stimulatory molecule CD226, play a crucial role in the immune response to malignancies. However, their role in chronic lymphocytic leukemia

The Immune Regulatory Functions of CD226 and Its Implications in Immune-Mediated Diseases [PDF]
CD226, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, serves as a critical regulator in various immunological processes. CD226 is expressed across immune and non-immune cells, with predominant expression being observed in natural killer (NK) cells and T ...

CD155-TIGIT/CD96/CD226 immune checkpoint axis interacting with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes to exhibit diverse prognostic effects on breast cancer: a cohort study [PDF]
BackgroundCD155, an immune checkpoint molecule interacted with receptors of TIGIT/CD96/CD226 to exhibit co-inhibitory and co-stimulatory modulation on tumor immune microenvironment. Nevertheless, the exploration of collectively prognostic effect of these

Immunotherapeutic strategies targeting the PVR–TIGIT/CD96/CD226 signaling pathway in glioma treatment [PDF]
Background To summarise the molecular interactions of Poliovirus Receptor (PVR) with its receptors (inhibitory TIGIT/CD96 and activating CD226), to delineate how these interactions drive glioma immune escape, and to evaluate emerging PVR-directed ...

Overcoming CD226-related immune evasion in acute myeloid leukemia with CD38 CAR-engineered NK cells [PDF]
Summary: CD226 plays a vital role in natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity, interacting with its ligands CD112 and CD155 to initiate immune synapse formation, primarily through leukocyte function-associated-1 (LFA-1). Our study examined the role of CD226

CD226 implicated in Akt-dependent apoptosis of CD4+ T cell contributes to asthmatic pathogenesis [PDF]
Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disease in which CD4+ T cell dysregulation occurs. Here, we investigated the molecular role and clinical significance of CD226, a costimulatory molecule of T lymphocytes, in the development of allergic asthma.
