Regulation of NKG2D+CD8+ T-cell-mediated antitumor immune surveillance: Identification of a novel CD28 activation-mediated, STAT3 phosphorylation-dependent mechanism.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The natural killer (NK) group 2D (NKG2D) receptor, which displays on mouse and human NK cells, activates CD8+ T cells and small subsets of other T cells. NKG2D+CD8+ T cells play critical roles in both innate and adaptive immunity upon engagement with NKG2D ligands to eliminate tumor and infected cells. Despite the important role of NKG2D+CD8+ T cells in immune surveillance, the mechanisms of how NKG2D expression on CD8+ T cells is regulated remain poorly defined. We treated mouse and human CD8+ T cells with CD80 recombinant protein, plus a pharmacologic model with small molecular inhibitors to determine which signaling pathway leads to NKG2D regulation on CD8+T cells. This study revealed that CD28 activ
