A membrane-associated MHC-I inhibitory axis for cancer immune evasion

open access: yesCell, 2023
Immune-checkpoint blockade has revolutionized cancer treatment, but some cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia (AML), do not respond or develop resistance.

An Evolutionarily Conserved Function of Polycomb Silences the MHC Class I Antigen Presentation Pathway and Enables Immune Evasion in Cancer

open access: yesCancer Cell, 2019
Summary Loss of MHC class I (MHC-I) antigen presentation in cancer cells can elicit immunotherapy resistance. A genome-wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen identified an evolutionarily conserved function of polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) that mediates ...

Cancer Immune Evasion Through Loss of MHC Class I Antigen Presentation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Major histocompatibility class I (MHC I) molecules bind peptides derived from a cell's expressed genes and then transport and display this antigenic information on the cell surface.

Targeting MHC-I molecules for cancer: function, mechanism, and therapeutic prospects

open access: yesMolecular Cancer, 2023
The molecules of Major histocompatibility class I (MHC-I) load peptides and present them on the cell surface, which provided the immune system with the signal to detect and eliminate the infected or cancerous cells. In the context of cancer, owing to the

Identifying novel amino acid substitutions of hemagglutinin involved in virulence enhancement in H7N9 virus strains

open access: yesVirology Journal, 2021
Background To identify site-specific features of amino acid substitutions that confer enhanced H7N9 virulence in humans, we independently generated mammalian-adapted variants of A/Anhui/1/2013 (AH-H7N9) and A/Shanghai/2/2013 (SH-H7N9) by serial passaging

NetMHCpan-4.1 and NetMHCIIpan-4.0: improved predictions of MHC antigen presentation by concurrent motif deconvolution and integration of MS MHC eluted ligand data

open access: yesNucleic Acids Res., 2020
Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules are expressed on the cell surface, where they present peptides to T cells, which gives them a key role in the development of T-cell immune responses.

Transformation of the genital epithelial tract occurs early in California sea lion development [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2016
An unusually high prevalence of metastatic urogenital carcinoma has been observed in free-ranging California sea lions stranded off the coast of California in the past two decades.

Lessons from transmissible cancers for immunotherapy and transplant

open access: yesImmunological Medicine, 2021
The emergence of horizontal transmission of cancer between vertebrates is an issue that interests scientists and medical society. Transmission requires: (i) a mechanism by which cancer cells can transfer to another organism and (ii) a repressed immune ...

Mechanisms of MHC-I Downregulation and Role in Immunotherapy Response

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Immunotherapy has become a key therapeutic strategy in the treatment of many cancers. As a result, research efforts have been aimed at understanding mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy and how anti-tumor immune response can be therapeutically ...
