Interactions between the natural killer group 2 member D (NKG2D) receptor and its ligands (NKG2DLs) are vital for activating NKG2D receptor‑positive immune cells, such as natural killer cells. This activation enables these cells to identify and destroy tumor cells presenting with NKG2DLs, which is an essential aspect of tumor immunity. However, tumor immune escape is facilitated by soluble NKG2DL (sNKG2DL) shed from the surface of tumor cells. The production of sNKG2DL is predominantly regulated by metalloproteinases [a disintegrin and metalloproteinases (ADAM) and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) families] and exosomes. sNKG2DL not only diminish immune recognition on the tumor cell surface but also suppress the function of immune cells, such as NK cells, and reduce the expression of the NKG2D receptor. This process promotes immune evasion, progression, and metastasis of tumors. In this review, an in‑depth summary of the mechanisms and factors that influence sNKG2DL production and their contribution to immune suppression within the tumor microenvironment are provided. Furthermore, due to the significant link between sNKG2DLs and tumor progression and metastasis, they have great potential as novel biomarkers. Detectable via liquid biopsies, sNKG2DLs could assess tumor malignancy and prognosis, and act as pivotal targets for immunotherapy. This could lead to the discovery of new drugs or the enhancement of existing treatments. Thus, the application of sNKG2DLs in clinical oncology was explored, offering substantial theoretical support for the development of innovative immunotherapeutic strategies for sNKG2DLs.</p>","PeriodicalId":19527,"journal":{"name":"Oncology reports","volume":"52 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11358674/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142000447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon is known as the senescence‑associated secretory phenotype (SASP). SASP in cancer stromal fibroblasts is involved in cancer growth and progression. Conversely, metformin, an antidiabetic drug, has been reported to inhibit SASP induction by inhibiting the activation of NF‑κB, a regulator of SASP. To date, at least to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports regarding cellular senescence in fibroblasts and tumor progression via the SASP‑mediated paracrine pathway. The present study thus aimed to elucidate the induction mechanisms of SASP in radiation‑induced fibroblasts and to determine its effects on cancer progression via the paracrine pathway. Furthermore, the present study aimed to determine whether controlling SASP using metformin suppresses cancer progression. A well‑differentiated esophageal cancer cell line established by the authors' department and fibroblasts isolated and cultured from the non‑cancerous esophageal mucosa of resected esophageal cancer cases were used for the experiments. Fibroblasts were irradiated with 8 Gy radiation, and the changes in the expression of the senescence markers, SA‑β‑gal, p21, p16 and NF‑κB were evaluated using immunofluorescent staining and western blot analysis in the presence or absence of metformin treatment. The culture supernatants of irradiated fibroblasts treated with metformin and those treated without metformin were collected and added to the cancer cells to evaluate their proliferative, invasive and migratory abilities. Vimentin and E‑cadherin expression levels were also evaluated using immunofluorescent staining and western blot analysis. The expression levels of p16, p21 and NF‑κB in irradiated fibroblasts were attenuated by treatment with metformin. Supernatants collected from irradiated fibroblasts exhibited the proliferative activity of esophageal cancer cells, and the promotion of migratory and invasion abilities, which may be due to epithelial‑mesenchymal transition and changes in cell morphology.

The discovery of early diagnostic and prognostic markers is still needed to reduce the mortality rate of lung cancer, which is the highest among all cancer types. Aberrations in the DNA methylation system have an important role in human cancer and are promising for the development of early diagnostic and prognostic markers. The present study focused on zinc finger protein (ZNF)577, whose encoding gene was indicated to exhibit promoter hypermethylation together with 9 other genes in lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) in a previous study by our group. ZN577 is a member of the ZNG family and its functional role has so far remained elusive. LADC tissue samples surgically resected at Tokushima University Hospital (Tokushima, Japan) between April 1999 and November 2013 were collected. A total of 73 tumors and 27 paired tumor-adjacent normal tissues were examined for DNA methylation and mRNA expression of ZNF577. A total of 149 LADC tissue samples were collected and evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the tissue expression of ZNF577. High methylation (n=27, P<0.0001) and low mRNA expression levels (n=27, P<0.031) of ZNF577 were identified in LADC tissues, and it was demonstrated that methylation levels were inversely correlated with mRNA expression levels (P=0.0116, ρ=-0.2515). Among the LADC tissues, lepidic-patterned samples had lower methylation levels of ZNF577 than other pathological types. In addition, mRNA expression levels of ZNF577 were significantly higher in females, non-smokers and stage I samples.
