Invariant NKT cells and rheumatic disease: Focus on primary sjogren syndrome [PDF]
, 2019 Primary Sjogren syndrome (pSS) is a complex autoimmune disease mainly affecting salivary and lacrimal glands. Several factors contribute to pSS pathogenesis; in particular, innate immunity seems to play a key role in disease etiology.

MicroRNA profiling of CD3+CD56+ cytokine-induced killer cells [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2015 AbstractStudies have proven that IL-2 and IL-15 showed contrasting roles during CIK cells preparation. By employing microarray, we analyzed miRNA expression profiles of PBMC, CIKIL-2 and CIKIL-15. Advanced bioinformatic analyses were performed to explore the key miRNAs which may regulate cell proliferation and anti-tumor activity of CIK.

Resistance to cytotoxicity and sustained release of interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in the presence of decreased interferon-γ after differentiation of glioblastoma by human natural killer cells. [PDF]
, 2016 Natural killer (NK) cells are functionally suppressed in the glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor microenvironment. We have recently shown that survival and differentiation of cancer stem-like cells (CSCs)/poorly differentiated tumors are controlled ...

CD4+ T cells are required to improve the efficacy of CIK therapy in non-small cell lung cancer
Cell Death and Disease, 2022 Herein, Liu and colleagues show that CD4+ T cells in cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells are required to enhance the clinical efficacy of CIK therapy. In addition, CD4+ T cells help via IL-17A production is critical to restoring the function of CD8+/CD3 ...
