Helixor A enhances natural killer cell activity by induction of PAI-1 expression through the p38/MAPK signaling pathway
International immunopharmacology ·doi:10.1016/j.intimp.2025.115531

Helixor A, an anticancer drug, has an immunostimulatory effect that increases T and natural killer (NK) cell activity in patients with cancer and endometriosis. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying its effect on NK cells in these pa…

IL-17A and Th17 Cells Contribute to Endometrial Cell Survival by Inhibiting Apoptosis and NK Cell Mediated Cytotoxicity of Endometrial Cells via ERK1/2 Pathway
Immune network ·doi:10.4110/in.2023.23.e14

Immune status including the immune cells and cytokine profiles has been implicated in the development of endometriosis. In this study, we analyzed Th17 cells and IL-17A in peritoneal fluid (PF) and endometrial tissues of patients with (n=10…

An increased level of IL-6 suppresses NK cell activity in peritoneal fluid of patients with endometriosis via regulation of SHP-2 expression
Human Reproduction ·doi:10.1093/humrep/deu172

STUDY QUESTION: Is the decreased natural killer (NK) cell cytolytic activity in the peritoneal fluid (PF) of endometriosis patients due to primary cytokine activity? SUMMARY ANSWER: An increased level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in the PF of p…
