Cystatin F Affects Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity
Cystatin F is a cysteine peptidase inhibitor which, unlike other cystatin family members, is targeted to endosomal/lysosomal compartments. It is synthesized as an inactive disulfide-linked dimer which is then converted to an active monomer by proteolytic cleavage of 15 N-terminal residues. Cystatin F has been suggested to regulate the cytotoxicity of natural killer (NK) cells by inhibiting the ...
متن کاملHyperthermia Increases Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity against SW-872 Liposarcoma Cell Line
Background: Although there is convincing data in support of the effectiveness of hyperthermia in tumor therapy, the molecular mechanisms underlying the clinical effects of hyperthermia are still poorly understood. Objective: To investigate natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity against heat-treated SW-872 and HeLa tumor cell lines. Methods: NKG2D ligands and HLA class I transcription were examin...
متن کاملNatural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity Against SKOV3 after HLA-G Downregulation by shRNA
Background: HLA-G is a nonclassical HLA class I molecule which, when elevated in tumor cells, is one of the main factors involved in tumor evasion of immune responses including NK and T cells. Objective: To evaluate the effect of HLA-G downregulation on NK cell cytotoxicity in tumor cell lines. Methods: The expression level of HLA-G was measured by real-time PCR and flowcytometry after transfec...
متن کاملSurgical stress-mediated suppression of murine natural killer cell cytotoxicity.
Natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity (NKCC) is one of several possible immune defense mechanisms that may protect against the development of solid-tumor metastases. We have demonstrated that in vitro NKCC can be significantly impaired by both surgical stress and progressive tumor burden. Female C57BL/6 mice received a hindfoot amputation under anesthesia with Nembutal i.p. Twenty-four hr l...
