Abstract:
A composition for differentiation of a mature natural killer(NK) cell and a method for production of the same mature natural killer cell are provided to produce a large quantity of mature natural killer cell to increase cancer-killing effects of the mature natural killer cell. The composition for differentiation of the mature natural killer cell from a precursor natural killer cell(pNK) comprises a ligand of Axl receptor tyrosine kinase. The method for producing the mature natural killer cell comprises the steps of: treating a hematopoietic stem cell with IL-7(interleukine 7), SCF(stem cell factor) and Flt3L(fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand) to differentiate the hematopoietic stem cell into a precursor natural killer cell; and treating the precursor natural killer cell with the ligand of Axl receptor tyrosine kinase, wherein the mature killer cell is useful for treatment of cancers including large intestine cancer, breast cancer, non-Hodgikin's lymphoma and acute ymphocytic leukemia.
Abstract:
A method for production of natural killer(NK) cells is provided to treat cancers without side effects using the natural killer cells by using an Axl gene capable of promoting differentiation from hematopoietic stem cells into natural killer cells. The adult natural killer cells are produced by treating hematopoietic stem cells with IL-7(interleukine 7), SCF(stem cell factor) and Flt3L(fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand), so as to differentiate them into NK precursor cells, and treating the NK precursor cells with the Axl gene, wherein the hematopoietic stem cells are isolated from human cord blood. A recombinant vector pLXSN-Axl contains the Axl gene. A transformant is produced by transforming a host cell, mouse RAW264.7 macrophage, with the recombinant vector pLXSN-Axl.
Abstract:
A method for production of a natural killer(NK) cell is provided to avoid side effects in cancer therapy by using a natural killer cell differentiated from a hematopoietic stem cell instead of a matured natural killer cell. The adult natural killer cell is produced by treating the hematopoietic stem cell with IL-7(interleukine 7), SCF(stem cell factor) and Flt3L(fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand) to differentiate the hematopoietic stem cell into a NK precursor cell, and treating the NK precursor cell with the Axl receptor and its ligand Gas6. The hematopoietic stem cell is isolated from the human cord blood; the Axl is a recombinant Axl produced from a transformant containing a recombinant vector pLXSN-Axl; the host cell of the transformant containing the recombinant vector pLXSN-Axl is a mouse RAW264.7 macrophage; the recombinant Gas6 is produced from a transformant containing a recombinant vector pcDNA3.1(+)-GAS6; and the host cell of the transformant containing the recombinant vector pcDNA3.1(+)-GAS6 is a mouse OP9 cell line.
Abstract:
A composition for regulating or detecting gamma-delta T cell or cytokines secreted by the gamma-delta T cell, which contains Axl receptor tyrosine kinase, its ligand or inhibitor is provided to regulate gamma-delta T cell and prevent or treat inflammatory bowl diseases (IBD). A composition for regulating gamma-delta T cell or a cytokine which is secreted by the gamma-delta T cell comprises an Axl receptor tyrosine kinase, its ligand or its inhibitor as an active ingredient. The composition is used for preventing and treating inflammatory bowel disease. A method for screening an agent for preventing and treating inflammatory bowel disease comprises: a step of adding a test compound in Axl receptor tyrosine kinase, its ligand or inhibitor; and a step of researching the influence of test compound on the expression or activation of Axl receptor tyrosine kinase, gamma-delta T cell, or cytokine secreted by the gamma-delta T cell.
Abstract:
A method for screening therapeutic agent or suppressing tumor by regulating Axl signal is provided to increase the sensitivity of natural killer cell by the expression of LIGHT gene and induce apoptosis of tumor cell. A composition for suppressing tumor comprises LIGHT (lymphotoxin-like inducible protein that competes with glycoprotein D for binding herpesvirus entry mediator on T cells) (TNFSF14) or its activator as an active ingredient. The activator is Axl receptor tyrosine kinase or its ligand. The Axl ligand is an antibody to Axl antibody, gamma-carboxylated Gas-6(growth-arrest specific gene 6) or protein S. The tumor is lymphatic tumor. A method for screening agent for suppressing or treating tumor comprises: a step of adding a test compound to a LIGHT (TNFSF14) or its activator; and a step of researching the influence of the test compound on the expression or activation of LIGHT or its activator.
Abstract:
A composition for detecting or suppressing the expression of GA733-2 antigen containing TREM-2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells-2) gene or protein is provided to use in the investigation of cancer cause, early diagnosis of cancer and development of therapeutic agent. A composition for suppressing the expression of GA733-2 antigen comprises a TREM-2 (Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells-2) gene or protein as an active ingredient. The expression of GA733-2 antigen in a biological sample is suppressed by adding TREM-2 gene or protein. A method for screening an agent for suppressing and treating cancer comprises: a step of adding a TREM-2 gene or protein or candidate drug which suppresses or treat cancer into transgenic animal which is transformed with TREM-2 gene; and a step of researching the influence of the candidate drug on the expression or activation of TREM-2 or GA733-2. The cancer is colon cancer.
Abstract:
A composition for preventing and treating cervical cancer, which contains AxL receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor is provided to regulate the expression of human papilloma virus (HPV) type 16 E6 gene and reduce the proliferation and metastatic property of cancer cell. A composition for preventing and treating cervical cancer comprises an inhibitor of Axl receptor tyrosine kinase as an active ingredient. A method for screening an agent for preventing and treating cervical cancer comprises: a step of adding a test compound to the Axl receptor tyrosine kinase; and a step of researching the influence of the test sample to the expression or activation of Axl and selecting a compound which suppresses the expression or activation of Axl.
