Ex vivo-expanded highly purified natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide induce antitumor effects in human glioblastoma cells in vitro.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Glioblastoma is the leading malignant glioma with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to investigate the antitumor effects of natural killer cells in combination with temozolomide as the standard chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma.

Fasting enhances TRAIL-mediated liver natural killer cell activity via HSP70 upregulation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Acute starvation, which is frequently observed in clinical practice, sometimes augments the cytolytic activity of natural killer cells against neoplastic cells. In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the enhancement of natural

Natural killer cell response to chemotherapy-stressed cancer cells: Role in tumor immunosurveillance. [PDF]

, 2017
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate cytotoxic lymphoid cells that actively prevent neoplastic development, growth, and metastatic dissemination in a process called cancer immunosurveillance.

Athymic nude rat. III natural cell mediated cytotoxicity. [PDF]

, 1980
Homozygous rnu/rnu and heterozygous +/rnu rats were investigated and compared with each other for the existence of natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Investigated were total, adherent, and nonadherent cell populations from spleen, peritoneal cavity, and

Whole transcriptome analysis reveals dysregulated oncogenic lncRNAs in natural killer/T-cell lymphoma and establishes MIR155HG as a target of PRDM1

Tumor Biology, 2017
Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma is a rare but aggressive neoplasm with poor prognosis. Despite previous reports that showed potential tumor suppressors, such as PRDM1 or oncogenes associated with the etiology of this malignancy, the role of long non ...

Detection of monoclonal T populations in patients with KIR-restricted chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells

Haematologica, 2014
The etiology of chronic large granular lymphocyte proliferations is largely unknown. Although these disorders are characterized by the expansion of different cell types (T and natural killer) with specific genetic features and abnormalities, several ...

Impact of killer-immunoglobulin-like receptor and human leukocyte antigen genotypes on the efficacy of immunotherapy in acute myeloid leukemia [PDF]

, 2017
Interactions between killer-immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) and their HLA class I ligands are instrumental in natural killer (NK) cell regulation and protect normal tissue from NK cell attack.

CAR natural killer cell therapy: Natural killer cell activation and expansion

Acta Biomedica Scientifica
Currently, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is an effective treatment method of hematological malignancies. However, T-lymphocyte-based immunotherapy has certain limitations for the scope of application of this approach.
