A3 adenosine receptor agonist potentiates natural killer cell activity.
Activation of the Gi-protein-coupled A3 adenosine receptor (A3AR) has been reported to be involved in the inhibition of tumor cell growth. A3AR is highly expressed in tumor cells whereas lower expression was noted in a variety of normal cells. Recently we showed that A3AR activation in melanoma cells resulted in growth inhibition via a direct anti-proliferative effect which entailed cell cycle ...
متن کاملIncreased Natural Killer Cells Activity in Schizophrenic Patients
Background: Schizophrenia has been associated with altered immunity. Different studies regarding natural killer cell activity (NKA) in schizophrenic patients have shown inconsistent results. Objectives: To evaluate NK cell activity in schizophrenic patients in comparison with healthy control individuals. Methods: 30 medication-free schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy sex, age and smoking st...
متن کاملHormonal modulation of human natural killer cell activity in vitro.
This study investigates the effect of steroid and polypeptide hormones on human NK cell activity in vitro. Solutions of hormones were incubated with normal peripheral blood cells in a 4 h cytotoxic assay against the NK-sensitive erythromyeloid cell line K562. The steroid hormones oestradiol, progesterone and testosterone did not exhibit a significant effect on K562 lysis at concentrations withi...
متن کاملMolecular mechanisms of natural killer cell activation.
With an array of activating and inhibitory receptors, natural killer (NK) cells can specifically eradicate infected and transformed cells. Target cell killing is achieved through directed release of lytic granules. Recognition of target cells also induces production of chemokines and cytokines that can coordinate immune responses. Upon contact with susceptible cells, a multiplicity of activatin...
متن کاملViral Evasion of Natural Killer Cell Activation
Natural killer (NK) cells play a key role in antiviral innate defenses because of their abilities to kill infected cells and secrete regulatory cytokines. Additionally, NK cells exhibit adaptive memory-like antigen-specific responses, which represent a novel antiviral NK cell defense mechanism. Viruses have evolved various strategies to evade the recognition and destruction by NK cells through ...
