Altered NKp30, NKp46, NKG2D, and DNAM-1 Expression on Circulating NK Cells Is Associated with Tumor Progression in Human Gastric Cancer by Bin Han, Fang-yuan Mao, Yong-liang Zhao, Yi-pin Lv, Yong-sheng Teng, Mubing Duan, Weisan Chen, Ping Cheng, Ting-ting Wang, Zhong-yuan Liang, Jin-yu Zhang, Yu-gang Liu, Gang Guo, Quan-ming Zou, Yuan Zhuang, Liu-sheng Peng

“…To this light, we characterized the surface receptor phenotypes of peripheral blood NK cells and examined their clinical relevance to human gastric cancer (GC). We found that the proportion of peripheral blood NK cells which expressed the activating receptors NKp30, NKp46, NKG2D, and DNAM-1 was significantly decreased in GC patients compared to healthy donors, and that this decrease was positively associated with tumor progression. …”
