Interferon-γ: teammate or opponent in the tumour microenvironment?

Angela M. Gocher et al.

Summary: IFN gamma plays pleiotropic roles in the tumor microenvironment, acting as both a 'teammate' to promote antitumor immune responses and an 'opponent' promoting tumor growth and suppressing immune responses.

Natural killer cells in antiviral immunity

Niklas K. Bjorkstrom et al.

Summary: This review explores the role of natural killer cells in acute and chronic viral infections, particularly focusing on insights from patients with primary immunodeficiencies. It also discusses the involvement of natural killer cells in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. The review highlights the importance of NK cells in innate immune responses to viral infections and provides recent insights into their role in human studies.

Exploring the NK cell platform for cancer immunotherapy

Jacob A. Myers et al.

Summary: NK cells have innate potential to kill cancer cells, leading to the development of various NK cell-based therapies for cancer treatment. The main focus of NK cell therapy research is on optimizing sources of therapeutic NK cells and enhancing their cytotoxicity and persistence in the body.

Cytokines Orchestrating the Natural Killer-Myeloid Cell Crosstalk in the Tumor Microenvironment: Implications for Natural Killer Cell-Based Cancer Immunotherapy

Silvia Gaggero et al.

Summary: NK cells play a crucial role in tumor immune surveillance but can be rendered ineffective within the tumor microenvironment due to suppressive factors, primarily influenced by myeloid cells. While NK-myeloid cell crosstalk can promote anti-tumor responses, it can also lead to dysregulation of NK cells, affecting their function.

Screening for Active Compounds Targeting Human Natural Killer Cell Activation Identifying Daphnetin as an Enhancer for IFN-γ Production and Direct Cytotoxicity

Baige Yao et al.

Summary: The study identified Daphnetin as a natural product capable of promoting human NK cell activation via the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway in the presence of IL-12, also enhancing its direct cytotoxicity against tumor cells. The findings suggest a potential application for Daphnetin as a complementary immunomodulator in cancer treatments.

Hepatic stellate cells suppress NK cell-sustained breast cancer dormancy

Ana Luisa Correia et al.

Summary: The study investigates how different tissue-specific microenvironments can either inhibit or support the progression of breast cancer in the liver. It identifies the interplay between natural killer (NK) cells and activated hepatic stellate cells (aHSCs) as a master switch of cancer dormancy, suggesting that therapies aimed at normalizing the NK cell pool may be successful in preventing metastatic outgrowth.
