NKG2D ligands link oncogenic RAS to innate immunity
RAS is constitutively active in multiple types of tumor cells. We have recently demonstrated that H-RASV12 enhances the translation of ligands for the activating immune receptor NKG2D, hence rendering cells more susceptible to natural killer (NK) cell-mediated lysis. This effect depends on MAPK and PI3K signaling, but not on the DNA damage response.
متن کاملNKG2D Ligands in Tumor Immunity: Two Sides of a Coin
The activating/co-stimulatory receptor NKG2D (natural-killer group 2, member D) is expressed on the surface of all human NK, NKT, CD8(+) T, and subsets of γδ(+) T cells. The significance of NKG2D function in tumor immunity has been well demonstrated in experimental animal models. However, the role of human NKG2D ligands in regulating tumor immunity and cancer prognosis had been controversial in...
متن کاملNOD1 Activators Link Innate Immunity to Insulin Resistance
OBJECTIVE Insulin resistance associates with chronic inflammation, and participatory elements of the immune system are emerging. We hypothesized that bacterial elements acting on distinct intracellular pattern recognition receptors of the innate immune system, such as bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) acting on nucleotide oligomerization domain (NOD) proteins, contribute to insulin resistance. RE...
متن کاملImmunity to oncogenic proteins.
In the past there was much speculation as to the existence of tumor antigens because the molecular etiology of cancer was a mystery. The molecular changes associated with malignant transformation have now either been defined or are definable by current methods. Malignant transformation is the end result of alter ed expression of genes related to normal cell growth control and differentiation. ...
متن کاملOxidized phospholipids as endogenous pattern recognition ligands in innate immunity.
One of the major functions of the innate immune system is the surveillance of host tissues, identifying apoptotic and senescent cells for engulfment and orderly removal by macrophages (1,2). Macrophage recognition of modified lipoproteins occurs via similar pathways of the innate immune system, involving shared scavenger receptors and molecular pattern recognition ligands (3-6). These critical ...
