The Efficacy of Toll-Like Receptors in Awakening Dendritic Cell/Natural Killer Cell System for Eradication of Tumors

Natural killer (NK) cells are effector cells of the innate immune system that exert direct cytotoxic functions. Ubiquitously-expressed toll-like receptors (TLRs) have been recognized as one of the major components promoting dendritic cell (DC) maturation, which may induce polarized immune responses beneficial to cancer immunotherapy. TLR-activated NK cells and DCs are prerequisite for robust ac...

Promoting NK cell trafficking to improve therapeutic effect of NK cell therapy on osteosarcoma

Background Despite the ability of NK cells to kill cancer cells, NK cell–based immunotherapy has resulted in limited clinical benefit. This is largely due to the poor capacity of adoptively transferred NK cells to home to tumors. We have shown that NK cells are able to kill osteosarcoma (OS) cells in vitro in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that recruiting more NK cells to OS lung metastasi...

Low Dose of Lenalidomide Enhances NK Cell Activity: Possible Implication as an Adjuvant

Background: Lenalidomide, a synthetic immunomodulatory drug, has a wide range of features including anti-angiogenic and anti-proliferative properties. To date, researchers have shown that lenalidomide is capable of ameliorating the immune system factors and antitumor responses. Most researchers have reported that lenalidomide enhances the immune response in certain cancer patients through sever...

Tissue-specific homing and expansion of donor NK cells in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation.

NK cells have potential therapeutic impact in suppressing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and enhancing antitumor effects as a cellular therapy for hematologic malignancies. However, few studies have addressed the trafficking and in vivo behavior of NK cells in murine models of bone marrow transplantation (BMT). We investigated NK cell trafficking and survival following allogeneic and syngenei...

PTEN regulates natural killer cell trafficking in vivo.

Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is a critical negative regulator of the phosphoinositide-3 kinase pathway, members of which play integral roles in natural killer (NK) cell development and function. However, the functions of PTEN in NK cell biology remain unknown. Here, we used an NK cell-specific PTEN-deletion mouse model to define the ramifications of intrinsic NK cell PTEN loss in vivo....

Evaluation of a 99mTc-tricine Vascular Disrupting Agent as an In-vivo Imaging in 4T1 Mouse Breast Tumor Model

Colchicine as a vascular disrupting agent creates microtubule destabilization whichinduces vessel blockage and consequently cell death. Accordingly, colchicines and itsanalogues radiolabeled with 99mTc may have potential for visualization of tumor. In this work,deacetylcolchicine a colchicine analogue was labeled with 99mTc via tricine as a coligandand characterized for its tumor targeting prop...
