MAPK inhibitors dynamically affect melanoma release of immune NKG2D-ligands, as soluble protein and extracellular vesicle-associated [PDF]
Metastatic melanoma presents, in many cases, oncogenic mutations in BRAF, a MAPK involved in proliferation of tumour cells. BRAF inhibitors, used as therapy in patients with these mutations, often lead to tumour resistance and, thus, the use of MEK ...

Upregulation of NKG2D ligands impairs hematopoietic stem cell function in Fanconi anemia [PDF]
Fanconi anemia (FA) is the most prevalent inherited bone marrow failure (BMF) syndrome. Nevertheless, the pathophysiological mechanisms of BMF in FA have not been fully elucidated.

A signature based on NKG2D ligands to predict the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma after radical resection [PDF]
Introduction Due to the high recurrence, the HCC prognosis remains poor. Yet, the biomarkers for predicting the recurrence of high‐risk patients are currently lacking.

The HHV-6A Proteins U20 and U21 Target NKG2D Ligands to Escape Immune Recognition [PDF]
The coevolution of the human immune system and herpesviruses led to the emergence and diversification of both cellular danger molecules recognized by immune cells on the one hand and viral countermeasures that prevent the expression of these proteins on ...

Reovirus infection of tumor cells reduces the expression of NKG2D ligands, leading to impaired NK-cell cytotoxicity and functionality [PDF]
In recent years, reoviruses have been of major interest in immunotherapy because of their oncolytic properties. Preclinical and clinical trials, in which reovirus was used for the treatment of melanoma and glioblastoma, have paved the way for future ...

cGAS/STING-mediated upregulation of NKG2D ligands in LSCs contributes to enhanced sensitivity to NK cells [PDF]
IntroductionNatural killer (NK) cells-mediated immune surveillance is essential role for tumor recognition and elimination. The binding of NK group 2 member D (NKG2D) ligands to NKG2D receptor is sufficient to activate the NK cells' cytotoxicity against ...

NKG2D Ligands–Critical Targets for Cancer Immune Escape and Therapy [PDF]
DNA damage, oncogene activation and excessive proliferation, chromatin modulations or oxidative stress are all important hallmarks of cancer. Interestingly, all of these abnormalities also induce a cellular stress response.

Combinatorial therapy with resveratrol sensitizes glioblastoma to NKG2D CAR-T cells [PDF]
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have shown potential in clinical trials for glioblastoma, yet treatment responses vary due to heterogeneous antigen expression and post-treatment immune escape.
