Promoting NK cell trafficking to improve therapeutic effect of NK cell therapy on osteosarcoma
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 metastasis in vivo may help to achieve greater therapeutic benefit. NK cell trafficking is mediated by specific chemokine receptors expressed on NK cells, but the specific receptors necessary for NK cell migration to solid tumors including OS are ill-defined.

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...

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...

The effect of natural killer (NK) cells and lymphokine activated killer ( LAK) cells was studied on a group of human melanoma cell lines. Peripheral blood from healthy volunteers was utilized as a fresh source of natural killer cells and rhI L-2 for producing LAK cells. The cytotoxicity of effector cells was quantified using a 4 hour SI determining the density of antigen expression on tumor...
متن کاملEffect of IL-27 on activity of bone marrow NK cells of patient with B-chronic lymphocytic leukemia in vitro
Introduction: Functional defect in immune cells is the prominent feature in hematological malignancies that lead to the expansion of tumor cells. Using immunostimulatory cytokines is one of the new therapeutic approaches. This study aimed to investigate the effect of IL-27 on the activity of bone marrow-NK cells of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients in vitro. Materials and Methods: 10 ...

Natural Killer (NK) cells are part of our innate immune system with regulatory and effector functions. Different studies suggest that treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) has an immunomodulatory effect on NK cells. IVIg is a first-line treatment for various autoimmune diseases in particular in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The lack of predictive markers ...
