The plasma membrane receptor natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) underpins a major mechanism whereby natural killer (NK) and T cells recognize malignant cells. We have recently demonstrated that the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, one of the first steps of metastatic dissemination, is under the control of an immunological checkpoint that relies on NKG2D-mediated immune responses.
自然杀伤(NK)细胞和 T 细胞通过细胞表面受体自然杀伤细胞组 2 成员 D(NKG2D)识别恶性细胞,该受体是识别机制的重要基础。我们最近证明,上皮-间充质转化(EMT)是转移扩散的第一步,它受免疫检查点控制,而该检查点依赖于 NKG2D 介导的免疫反应。
