Differential impact of TIM-3 ligands on NK cell function by Xin Zhang, Lazar Vujanovic, Riyue Bao, Robert L Ferris, Tullia C Bruno, Aditi Kulkarni, Hridesh Banerjee, Housaiyin Li, Juncheng Wang, Lawrence P Kane, Pragati Upadhyay, Jennifer L Anderson, Onyedikachi Victor Onyekachi, Lidia M R B Arantes

“…Among patients with HNSCC, an elevated intratumoral TIM-3+ NK cell gene signature associates with worse outcomes, specifically in those with human papillomavirus (HPV)+ disease, potentially attributable to higher galectin-9 levels in HPV+ versus HPV− patients.Conclusions Our findings underscore the complex functional impact of TIM-3 ligand signaling, which is consistent with recent clinical trials suggesting that targeting TIM-3 alone is suboptimal as an immunotherapeutic approach for treating malignancies.…”
