Complement Receptor 3 Has Negative Impact on Tumor Surveillance through Suppression of Natural Killer Cell Function
Complement receptor 3 (CR3) is expressed abundantly on natural killer (NK) cells; however, whether it plays roles in NK cell-dependent tumor surveillance is largely unknown. Here, we show that CR3 is an important negative regulator of NK cell function, which has negative impact on tumor surveillance. Mice deficient in CR3 (CD11b-/- mice) exhibited a more activated NK phenotype and had enhanced ...
متن کاملRegulation of Natural Killer Cell Function by STAT3
Natural killer (NK) cells, key members of a distinct hematopoietic lineage, innate lymphoid cells, are not only critical effectors that mediate cytotoxicity toward tumor and virally infected cells but also regulate inflammation, antigen presentation, and the adaptive immune response. It has been shown that NK cells can regulate the development and activation of many other components of the immu...
متن کاملAssembly and function of the natural killer cell immune synapse.
During the natural killer (NK) cell immune response, cytoskeletal components, adhesion and signaling molecules and ligand-specific receptors are involved in the formation of the natural killer cell immune synapse (NK-IS), a highly organized supramolecular structure assembled at the interface of the interacting cells that regulates the NK cell activation and decides the target cell fate. In this...
متن کاملEpigenetic Dysregulation in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Laryngeal carcinoma is a common head and neck cancer with poor prognosis. Patients with laryngeal carcinoma usually present late leading to the reduced treatment efficacy and high rate of recurrence. Despite the advance in the use of molecular markers for monitoring human cancers in the past decades, there are still no reliable markers for use to screen laryngeal carcinoma and follow the patien...
متن کاملNatural killer cell deficiency.
Natural killer (NK) cells are part of the innate immune defense against infection and cancer and are especially useful in combating certain viral pathogens. The utility of NK cells in human health has been underscored by a growing number of persons who are deficient in NK cells and/or their functions. This can be in the context of a broader genetically defined congenital immunodeficiency, of wh...
