SLPI/FBW7/c‐Myc Axis Reduces Gemcitabine Sensitivity in PDAC by Enhancing Glycolysis and Impairing NK Cell Immunity

open access: yesCancer Science, Volume 117, Issue 6, Page 1635-1650, June 2026.
SLPI reduces the sensitivity of PDAC to gemcitabine by competing with FBW7 for binding to c‐Myc, thereby disrupting FBW7‐dependent ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of c‐Myc, leading to increased c‐Myc stability and expression. SLPI knockdown could significantly increase gemcitabine sensitivity to gemcitabine‐induced direct cytotoxicity and NK

Spontaneous shedding of ULBP2 does not result from tumor cell apoptosis.

open access: yes, 2014
(A, B) Spontaneous shedding of ULBP2 from Jurkat and H9 cells. Jurkat (A) or H9 (B) cells were cultured with initial seeding cell numbers ranging from 0.5×105 to 4×105 cells/ml in 48-well plates, the cells were harvested at various time points (from 17 ...

Intein‐based modular chimeric antigen receptor platform for specific CD19/CD20 co‐targeting

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 850-862, March 2026.
CARtein is a modular CAR platform that uses split inteins to splice antigen‐recognition modules onto a universal signaling backbone, enabling precise, scarless assembly without re‐engineering signaling domains. Deployed here against CD19 and CD20 in B‐cell malignancies, the design supports flexible multi‐antigen targeting to boost T‐cell activation and

Sex Differences in Cancer Immunotherapy—Clinical Evidence and Mechanisms With a Focus on NSCLC

open access: yesImmunological Reviews, Volume 338, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that the immune system shows subtle but relevant differences between men and women. These differences may have an impact on cancer development and TME composition as well as responses to and adverse events elicited by immunotherapies.

A Combined ULBP2 and SEMA5A Expression Signature as a Prognostic and Predictive Biomarker for Colon Cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Prognostic biomarkers for cancer have the power to change the course of disease if they add value beyond known prognostic factors, if they can help shape treatment protocols, and if they are reliable.

Genomic organization and evolution of the ULBP genes in cattle

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2006
Background The cattle UL16-binding protein 1 (ULBP1) and ULBP2 genes encode members of the MHC Class I superfamily that have homology to the human ULBP genes. Human ULBP1 and ULBP2 interact with the NKG2D receptor to activate effector cells in the immune

Flavones and Aminoflavones Increase the Cytotoxicity of NK Cells in Human Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 4, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural flavonoids (flavones) and synthetic aminoflavones are known for their anti‐cancer properties; however, their immunomodulation ability has been largely unexplored. This study determined that synthetic flavones and aminoflavones modulate the cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells against lung cancer cells.

BB-94 rescues cell surface expression of ULBP2 in apoptotic cells.

open access: yes, 2014
(A, B) BB-94 abrogates apoptotic compound-induced shedding of ULBP2. (A) Jurkat cells were treated with 2 µg/ml Act D, 4 µM CPT or 20 µM ETO for 4 hours in the presence or absence of BB-94. The treated cells were stained by PE-conjugated mouse anti-human

Two novel human cytomegalovirus NK cell evasion functions target MICA for lysosomal degradation.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2014
NKG2D plays a major role in controlling immune responses through the regulation of natural killer (NK) cells, αβ and γδ T-cell function. This activating receptor recognizes eight distinct ligands (the MHC Class I polypeptide-related sequences (MIC) A ...
