NK cell receptor profiling of endometrial and decidual NK cells reveals pregnancy-induced adaptations

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
Natural killer (NK) cells, with a unique NK cell receptor phenotype, are abundantly present in the non-pregnant (endometrium) and pregnant (decidua) humanuterine mucosa.

PECULIARITIES OF NK CELLS DIFFERENTIATION: CD56dim AND CD56bright NK CELLS AT PREGNANCY AND IN NON-PREGNANT STATE

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология, 2017
Natural killer (NK) cells represent a lymphocyte subpopulation which is capable of contact cytolysis of virus-infected cells and tumor cells, being a source of cytokines which stimulate other immune cells and promote immune response.

Metastasis on pause: How dormant tumor cells stay hidden within the tumor microenvironment and evade immune surveillance

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Dormant cancer cells can hide in distant organs for years, evading treatment and the immune system. This review highlights how signals from the surrounding tissue and immune environment keep these cells inactive or trigger their reawakening. Understanding these mechanisms may help develop therapies to eliminate or control dormant cells and prevent ...

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors and their ligands : assessment of potential diagnostic and immunotherapeutic value [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Human natural killer (NK) cells constitute an important arm of the innate immune system, which participates in protection against viral infections and elimination of malignant diseases.

Natural Killer Cells Generated From Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells Mature to CD56brightCD16+NKp80+/-In-Vitro and Express KIR2DL2/DL3 and KIR3DL1

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The differentiation of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) into T and natural killer (NK) lymphocytes opens novel possibilities for developmental studies of immune cells and in-vitro generation of cell therapy products.

The Role of NK Cells and NK Cell Receptors inAutoimmune Disease

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2004
Natural killer (NK) cells are the first line of defense against infection and transformation. Additionally, NK cells can play seemingly opposite roles in autoimmune disease. Here, we summarize the functions of NK cells as both regulators and inducers of autoimmune disease. The role NK cells play depends on which cells become targets for NK cell attack.

Stimulator of interferon genes agonist augmented antitumor immunity of osimertinib in Egfr‐mutated lung cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Combining osimertinib with the STING agonist ADU‐S100 activates innate and adaptive immunity to overcome the non‐inflamed microenvironment of Egfr‐mutant lung cancer. This combination increases NK and CD8+ T‐cell infiltration, associated with activation of the STING‐IRF3 pathway and local immunogenic cell death.

Leukoreduction filter derived NK cells offer a promising source for off the shelf CAR NK cell immunotherapy

open access: yesScientific Reports
Immunotherapy employing natural killer (NK) cells has emerged as a transformative approach to treating hematological malignancies. The reprogramming of NK cells by incorporating a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) equipped with potent signaling domains has

Loss of proton‐sensing TDAG8 increases tumor progression in mouse models of colon cancer

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Loss of the pH‐sensing receptor TDAG8 accelerates colorectal cancer progression in mice. Animals lacking TDAG8 expression had increased tumor growth, DNA damage, and recruitment of tumor‐associated immune cells, including macrophages, neutrophils, and monocytes.

Tumor recognition by natural killer cells in acute myeloid leukemia and after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytolytic activity against tumors requires the engagement of activating NK cell receptors by the tumor-associated ligands.
