Human Leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) and gastrointestinal malignancy

Malignant conditions can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, biliary system, pancreas, small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus (1). Currently, conventional TNM staging is the most important prognostic factor for determining the clinical outcome of GI cancer. However, clinical studies have shown that patients with similar stages of the ...

Molecular pathways: human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G).

Human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G) is a nonclassical MHC class I molecule that exerts important tolerogenic functions. Its main physiologic expression occurs in the placenta, where it participates in the maternal tolerance toward the fetus. HLA-G expression was found in embryonic tissues, in adult immune privileged organs, and in cells of the hematopoietic lineage. It is expressed in various typ...

Human Leukocyte Antigen-G (HLA-G) Polymorphism and Expression in Breast Cancer Patients

Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is known to be implicated in a tumor-driven immune escape mechanism in malignancies. The purpose of this study was to investigate HLA-G polymorphism and expression in breast cancer. HLA-G alleles were determined by direct DNA sequencing procedures from blood samples of 80 breast cancer patients and 80 healthy controls. Soluble HLA-G (sHLA-G) was measured by enz...

The human leukocyte antigen G molecule (HLA-G) expression in patients with nasal polyposis.

INTRODUCTION Sinonasal polyposis (NP) is a chronic inflammatory pathology of the nasal/paranasal cavities which affects from 1%-4% of the population. Although polyps seem to be a manifestation of chronic inflammation in both allergic and non-allergic subjects, the pathogenesis of nasal polyposis remains unknown. HLA-G molecules are a kind of no classic class I antigen with anti-inflammatory and...

Plasma human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) in patients with thyroid cancer

Background/aim: A number of tumor markers detected in the serum or pathological specimens using immunohistochemical methods are used for early detection of malignancies and postoperative follow-up. Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a nonclassic HLA class I molecule. Recent studies suggested a relationship between HLA-G positivity and the stage or the phenotype of the malignancy. In this stud...

Human leukocyte antigen-G and cancer immunoediting.

Immunosurveillance is an extrinsic mechanism of cancer suppression that eliminates nascent tumors. However, the selection imposed by immunosurveillance can drive tumor evolution and the emergence of clinically apparent neoplasms. Mechanisms of immune escape acquired by less immunogenic variants during this process, termed immunoediting, may contribute significantly to malignant progression. In ...
