Romedepsin (RM), a HDACi, Significantly Increases the Expression of NKG2D Ligands, MIC A/B, in Leukemia/Lymphoma Cells (LL), in Part through the Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK-3) Pathway, Resulting in Enhanced NK Cytotoxicity.

Introduction
Natural killer (NK) cells recognize malignant cells through the tumor-associated expression of NKG2D-ligands, including MIC A/B, which are known to be expressed on epithelial tumors, resulting in tumor cytotoxicity (Ayello/Cairo et al, BBMT, 2006). The expression of MIC A/B on these tumors can be induced by in vitro exposure of these cells to HDACi, specifically Romedepsin (RM) (Skov et al, Cancer Res, 200… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
