hyperthermia increases natural killer cell cytotoxicity against sw-872 liposarcoma cell line
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 examined using quantitative real-time pcr in treated tumor cell lines at 0, 2, 4, 6 and 12 h following thermal treatment at 39c and 42c for 1 h. the expression of mica/b, ulbp1 and ulbp2 were also determined by flow cytometry. nk92-mi cytotoxic activity against heat-treated target cell lines was assessed by ldh release as well as annexin-v and 7-aad assays. results: our results showed that heat treatment at 39c improved the cytolytic activity of nk cells against sw-872 cells without increasing nkg2d ligand concentration or decreasing hla class i levels. conclusion: the observed increase in the cytotoxicity of nk cells against sw-872 cells after hyperthermia does not coincide with changes in mica/b, ulbp1 and ulbp2 ligands of nkg2, however, the expression of other ligands in target cells may have made the cells susceptible to the cytotoxic effect of nk cells.

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 کاملCystatin 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 کاملRestoring Natural Killer Cell Cytotoxicity After Hyperthermia Alone or Combined with Radiotherapy.
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate in vitro the effect of hypo- and hyperthermia alone or in combination with irradiation on natural killer cell (NK) cytotoxicity, recovery of this function and the possibility of preventing damage to or enhancing cytotoxicity recovery using interferons (IFNs) α, β, and γ and interleukin-2 (IL-2). MATERIALS AND METHODS We used non-selec...
متن کاملCocaine increases natural killer cell activity.
The administration of epinephrine to humans increases natural killer (NK) cell activity and numbers. If endogenous catecholamines regulate NK cells, then their activity should be increased by cocaine, an agent that potentiates endogenous catecholamines. We investigated the in vivo effect of cocaine on NK cell activity and on the distribution of lymphocyte subsets, including NK cells. Intravenou...
