Abnormal expression of activating/inhibitory receptors leads to natural killer (NK) cells dysfunction in tumor. Here we show that programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), a well-known immune checkpoint T cells, is highly expressed on peripheral and tumor-infiltrating NK from patients with digestive cancers including esophageal, liver, colorectal, gastric biliary cancer. The increased PD-1 indicates poorer survival esophageal liver cancers. Blocking PD-1/PD-L1 signaling markedly enhances...
Natural killer (NK) cells are enriched within the liver. Apart from conventional NK (cNK) cells, recent studies identified a liver-resident (LrNK) subset, which constitutes about half of hepatic and exhibits distinct developmental, phenotypic, functional features. However, it remains unclear whether how LrNK as well cNK participate in development hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) individually. Here, we report that both significantly decreased HCC. The T-cell immunoglobulin mucin...
Initiation of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a complex process that includes both oncogene activation and tumor suppressor inhibition. The HBV X (HBx) protein has an important role in processes leading to HCC. We previously identified the mammalian Zinc fingers homeoboxes 2 (ZHX2) gene as HCC-associated gene. In present study, we investigated whether oncogenic properties and, more specifically, HBx, involved ZHX2 silencing. Our data indicates...
Macrophages perform key and distinct functions in maintaining tissue homeostasis by finely tuning their activation state. Within the tumor microenvironment, macrophages are reshaped to drive progression. Here we report that necrosis factor α-induced protein 8-like 1 (TIPE1) is highly expressed depletion of TIPE1 impedes alternative macrophages. enhanced PI3K/Akt pathway directly binding with regulating metabolism phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3)....

Siglec-9 is a MHC-independent inhibitory receptor selectively expressed on CD56dim NK cells. Its role in infection diseases has not been investigated yet. Here we studied the potential regulatory roles of pathogenesis chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection.

Abstract Increased expression of T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain‐3 (Tim‐3) on invariant natural killer ( iNKT ) cells is reported in chronic hepatitis B virus HBV infection. However, whether Tim‐3 regulates condition remains unclear. In this study, our results showed that the was up‐regulated hepatic from ‐transgenic (Tg) mice or stimulated with α‐galactosylceramide (α‐Galcer). Compared − cells, + expressed more IFN ‐γ, IL ‐4 CD 107a, indicating a strong relationship between...
The tumor suppressor forkhead box P4 (FOXP4) plays important roles in oncogenesis, and the FOXP4 variant rs1983891 is associated with prostate cancer (PCa) several studies. However, association studies conducted Northern Southern Chinese have provided conflicting results. Therefore, here we performed fine mapping of to identify PCa potential application men.We examined 11 variants spaced approximately 55 kb apart spanning using high-resolution melting-curve analysis sequencing methods 286...
