Discovery of Small-Molecule PD-L1 Inhibitors via Virtual Screening and Their Immune-Mediated Anti-Tumor Effects

open access: yesPharmaceuticals
Background/Objectives: Monoclonal antibodies targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 immune checkpoint have achieved clinical success but face drawbacks such as poor oral bioavailability, limited tumor penetration, and immune-related adverse events.

KCa3.1 channels regulate the tumor infiltration of functionally competent NK cells in head and neck cancer

open access: yesScientific Reports
CD8+ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells are the primary defenses against tumor cells. The tumor microenvironment impairs their antitumor capabilities, including the ability to infiltrate the tumor. Our laboratory has shown that tumors suppress T cells

Substrate Specificities of the Granzyme Tryptases A and K

Journal of Proteome Research, 2014
The physiological roles of the granzymes A and K have been debated, especially concerning their involvement in cytotoxic and inflammatory processes. By performing N-terminal COFRADIC assisted N-terminomics on the homologous human granzymes A and K, we here provide detailed data on their substrate repertoires, their specificities, and differences in ...

DDVP markedly decreases the expression of granzyme B and granzyme 3/K in human NK cells

Toxicology, 2008
Natural killer (NK), lymphokine-activated killer (LAK), and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) cells kill target cells by the directed release of cytolytic granules that contain perforin, granzymes, and granulysin. We have found previously that dimethyl 2,2-dichlorovinyl phosphate (DDVP, dichlorvos), an organophosphorus pesticide, significantly decreased the

Granzyme K activates the entire complement cascade

Nature
Granzymes are a family of serine proteases that are mainly expressed by CD8+ T cells, natural killer cells and innate-like lymphocytes1. Although their primary function is thought to be the induction of cell death in virally infected cells and tumours, accumulating evidence indicates that some granzymes can elicit inflammation by acting on ...
