Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that rapidly respond to cancer cells without prior sensitization or restriction to the cognate antigen in comparison with tumor antigen-specific T cells. Recent advances in understanding NK-cell biology have elucidated the molecular mechanisms underlying the differentiation and maturation of NK cells, in addition to the control of their effector functions by investigating the receptors and ligands involved in the recognition of cancer cells by NK cells. Such clarification of NK-cell recognition of cancer cells also revealed the mechanism by which cancer cells potentially evade NK-cell-dependent immune surveillance. Furthermore, the recent clinical results of T-cell-targeted cancer immunotherapy have increased the expectations for new immunotherapies by targeting NK cells. However, the potential use of NK cells in cancer immunotherapy is not fully understood. In this review, we discuss the current evidence and future potential of pharmacological targeting of NK cells in cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
Inflammation is an extensively recognized link to many pathological diseases. It is a host response for protection from infections and tissue damage. Infections trigger acute inflammation; however, persistent infection will contribute to chronic inflammation and higher disease susceptibility. Deregulated inflammatory responses can cause excessive or long-lasting tissue damage, manifested as cancer, immune disorders, diabetes, etc. NF-κB is a central mediator of pro-inflammatory gene induction and functions in both innate and adaptive immune cells; therefore, the anti-inflammatory regulation of NF-κB is needed. Natural products reportedly play an important role in controlling the inflammatory response pathways. However, the anti-inflammatory activities of isopimara-8-(14),15-diene diterpenoids have not yet been fully elucidated. To elucidate the anti-inflammatory activities of the isopimara-8(14),15-diene diterpenoids, we investigated 21 isopimara-8(14),15-diene diterpenoids previously isolated from Kaempferia pulchra rhizomes. Eleven compounds exhibited NO inhibitory activity against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells, with IC50 values ranging from 30 to 100 μM. Furthermore, the most potent kaempulchraols P and Q, with IC50 values of 39.88 and 36.05 μM, respectively, inhibited the NF-κB-mediated transactivation of a luciferase reporter gene, IL-6 production, and COX-2 expression, with an effective dose of 25 μM. These findings provide new insights into the anti-inflammatory activities of the isopimara-8(14),15-diene diterpenoids.

Abstract
Mutation of the oncogene BRAF is among the most common genetic alterations in melanoma. BRAF inhibitors alone or in combination with MEK inhibitors fail to eradicate the tumor in most patients due to combinations of intrinsic or acquired resistance. Therefore, novel strategies are needed to improve the therapeutic efficacy of BRAF inhibition. We demonstrated that dinaciclib has potent antimelanoma effects by inducing BAK-dependent apoptosis through MCL1 reduction. Contrary to dinaciclib, the inhibitors of BRAF/MEK/CDK4/6 induced apoptosis dominantly through a BAX-dependent mechanism. Although the combination of BRAF and MEK inhibitors did not exhibit additive antimelanoma effects, their combination with dinaciclib synergistically inhibited melanoma growth both in vitro and in vivo Collectively, our present findings suggest dinaciclib to be an effective complementary drug of BAX-dependent antimelanoma drugs by targeting BAK-mediated apoptosis, and other such rational drug combinations can be determined by identifying complementary drugs activating either BAK or BAX.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Chronic inflammation of the liver is often observed with obesity or type 2 diabetes. In these pathological conditions, the immunological cells, such as macrophages, play important roles in the development or growth of liver cancer. Recently, it was reported that hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) is a key molecule for the acquisition of inflammatory M1 polarity of macrophages. In the present study, we examined the effects of altered macrophage polarity on obesity- and diabetes-associated liver cancer using macrophage-specific HIF-1α knockout (KO) mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS To induce liver cancer in the mice, diethylnitrosamine, a chemical carcinogen, was used. Both KO mice and wild-type littermates were fed either a high-fat diet (HFD) or normal chow. They were mainly analyzed 6 months after HFD feeding. RESULTS Development of liver cancer after HFD feeding was 45% less in KO mice than in wild-type littermates mice. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 was also lower in the liver of KO mice. Those effects of HIF-1α deletion in macrophages were not observed in normal chow-fed mice. Furthermore, the size of liver tumors did not differ between KO and wild-type littermates mice, even those on a HFD. These results suggest that the activation of macrophage HIF-1α by HFD is involved not in the growth, but in the development of liver cancer with the enhanced oncogenic extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 signaling in hepatocytes. CONCLUSIONS The activation of macrophage HIF-1α might play important roles in the development of liver cancer associated with diet-induced obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
D-amino acids (D-AAs) have various biological activities, such as activation of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor as a co-agonist by D-Ser. Since several free D-AAs are released in the broth monocultured with bacterium and D-AAs are probably utilized for bacterial communication, we presume that intestinal microbiota releases several kinds of free D-AAs, which may be involved in the hosts’ health. However, presently, only four free D-AAs have been found in the ceacal lumen, but not in the colonic lumen. Here, we showed, by simultaneous analysis of chiral AAs using high-sensitivity liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), that 12 free D-AAs (D-Ala, D-Arg, D-Asp, D-Gln, D-Glu, D-allo-Ile, D-Leu, D-Lys, D-Met, D-Phe, D-Ser, and D-Trp) are produced by intestinal microbiota and identified bacterial groups belonging to Firmicutes as the relevant bacterial candidates.

Abstract
Accumulating evidence indicates the importance of natural killer (NK) cells in controlling tumor growth and metastasis. NK cell subsets display diversities in their function and tissue distribution and Mac-1hi CD27lo NK cells are the predominant population of lung-resident NK cells. Although the lung is a major organ where primary tumor develops and cancer cells metastasize, there is no clear evidence whether circulating NK cells and/or tissue-resident NK cells control tumor growth in the lung. In the present study, we examined an antitumor function of lung-resident NK cells to control pulmonary tumor growth. In an orthotopic lung tumor model, NK cells controlled pulmonary tumor growth, and mature circulating NK cell subsets were increased in tumor-bearing lungs through a C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3)-dependent mechanism. Although such increase in migratory NK cell subsets can be blocked by anti-CXCR3 treatment, there was no difference in pulmonary tumor growth in anti-CXCR3-treated mice compared with control mice. In addition to pulmonary tumor growth, lung-resident NK cells, but not migratory NK cells, play a dominant role in controlling metastatic growth of cancer cells in lung. These results strongly indicate an importance of lung-resident NK cells for controlling pulmonary tumor growth.

Abstract
Cancer metastasis is a major cause of mortality in cancer patients. The transcription factor SNAIL plays an important role in cancer metastasis and progression, and its expression is tightly regulated by the ubiquitin-proteasome system through the balance between ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinating enzymes. While several ubiquitin ligases of SNAIL have been identified, it is not yet clear regarding deubiquitinating enzyme. In this study, we identified COP9 signalosome subunit 5 (COPS5) as a deubiquitinating enzyme of SNAIL by using siRNA library screening. COPS5 downregulation significantly reduced the expression of SNAIL and impaired the metastatic potential of lung cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, we demonstrated that COPS5 binds to SNAIL and stabilizes its expression by deubiquitination. Furthermore, we observed the positive correlation between COPS5 and SNAIL expression in the clinical tissue samples of lung adenocarcinomas by using tissue microarray analysis. These findings provide strong evidence that COPS5 can be a new therapeutic target for cancer metastasis as a deubiquitinating enzyme of SNAIL.

Abstract
T-cell receptor (TCR) gene therapy is a promising next-generation antitumor treatment. We previously developed a single-T-cell analysis protocol that allows the rapid capture of paired TCRα and β cDNAs. Here, we applied the protocol to analyze the TCR repertoire of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) of various cancer patients. We found clonally expanded populations of T cells that expressed the same clonotypic TCR in 50% to 70% of CD137+CD8+ TILs, indicating that they responded to certain antigens in the tumor environment. To assess the tumor reactivity of the TCRs derived from those clonally expanded TILs in detail, we then analyzed the CD137+CD8+ TILs from the tumor of B16F10 melanoma cells in six C57BL/6 mice and analyzed their TCR repertoire. We also found clonally expanded T cells in 60% to 90% of CD137+CD8+ TILs. When the tumor reactivity of dominant clonotypic TCRs in each mouse was analyzed, 9 of 13 TCRs induced the secretion of IFNγ in response to, and showed killing of, B16F10 cells in vitro, and 2 of them showed strong antitumor activity in vivo Concerning their antigen specificity, 7 of them reacted to p15E peptide of endogenous murine leukemia virus-derived envelope glycoprotein 70, and the rest reacted to tumor-associated antigens expressed on EL4 lymphoma as well as B16 melanoma cells. These results show that our strategy enables us to simply and rapidly obtain the tumor-specific TCR repertoire with high fidelity in an antigen- and MHC haplotype-independent manner from primary TILs.

Abstract
Although natural killer (NK) cells are recognized as direct antitumor effectors, the ability of NK cells to control cancer-associated inflammation, which facilitates tumor progression, remains unknown. In this study, we demonstrate that NK cells control tumor-promoting inflammation through functional modification of neutrophils. NK cells control the tumor-promoting function of neutrophils through an IFNγ-dependent mechanism. Tumor progression in an NK cell-depleted host is diminished when the IL17A-neutrophil axis is absent. In NK cell-depleted mice, neutrophils acquire a tumor-promoting phenotype, characterized by upregulation of VEGF-A expression, which promotes tumor growth and angiogenesis. A VEGFR inhibitor which preferentially suppressed tumor growth in NK cell-depleted mice was dependent on neutrophils. Furthermore, the systemic neutropenia caused by an antimetabolite treatment showed an anticancer effect only in mice lacking NK cells. Thus, NK cells likely control the tumor-promoting and angiogenic function of neutrophils. Cancer Immunol Res; 6(3); 348-57. ©2018 AACR.

Abstract
Edge-rich active sites of ultrathin layered molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanosheets were synthesized by a hydrothermal method. The effect of pH on the formation of MoS2 nanosheets and their photocatalytic response have been investigated. Structural and elemental analysis confirm the presence of S–Mo–S in the composition. Morphological analysis confirms the presence of ultrathin layered nanosheets with a sheet thickness of 10–28 nm at pH 1. The interplanar spacing of MoS2 layers is in good agreement with the X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results. A comparative study of the photocatalytic performance for the degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine B (RhB) by ultrathin layered MoS2 under visible light irradiation was performed. The photocatalytic activity of the edge-rich ultrathin layered nanosheets showed a fast response time of 36 min with the degradation rate of 95.3% of MB and 41.1% of RhB. The photocatalytic degradation of MB was superior to that of RhB because of the excellent adsorption of MB than that of RhB. Photogenerated superoxide radicals were the key active species for the decomposition of organic compounds present in water, as evidenced by scavenger studies. Edge-rich active sites of ultrathin layered molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanosheets were synthesized by a hydrothermal method.![]()

Abstract
Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a pleiotropic cytokine that has long been praised as an important effector molecule of anti-tumor immunity, capable of suppressing tumor growth through various mechanisms. On the contrary to such a bright side of IFN-γ, it has also been involved in promoting an outgrowth of tumor cells with immunoevasive phenotype suggesting an existence of a dark "tumor-promoting" side effect of IFN-γ. In this review, we will summarize this multi-functional role of IFN-γ in tumor context, how it promotes changes in tumor phenotype towards increased fitness for growth in immunocompetent host. Furthermore, we summarize how IFN-γ is involved in homeostatic or cancer-triggered mechanisms to establish an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment.

Abstract
Housing temperature has been shown to influence thermoregulation and behavior of preclinical cancer models; and anti-cancer drugs typically reduce peripheral blood flow and body temperature. In the present study, the effects of paclitaxel (PTX)-induced reduction of body temperature and peripheral blood flow on metastatic 4T1 breast cancer was investigated in a mouse model and the modification of these effects by thermoneutral temperature was also assessed. A single dose of PTX decreased the body temperature and peripheral blood flow in mice housed at a standard temperature (23°C). Furthermore, although lung metastasis and angiogenesis of inoculated 4T1 cells increased in mice pretreated with PTX, mice housed at a thermoneutral temperature (30°C) could compensate their body temperature and peripheral blood flow compared with control mice, and also suppressed 4T1 angiogenesis and metastasis to lung. The present results imply that maintenance of body temperature or efficient energy supply for thermogenesis may prevent tumor relapse or metastasis after chemotherapy.

Abstract
Aldo-keto reductase 1B10 (AKR1B10) is overexpressed in several extraintestinal cancers, particularly in non-small-cell lung cancer, where AKR1B10 is a potential diagnostic marker and therapeutic target. Selective AKR1B10 inhibitors are required because compounds should not inhibit the highly related aldose reductase that is involved in monosaccharide and prostaglandin metabolism. Currently, 7-hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenylimino)-2H-chromene-3-carboxylic acid benzylamide (HMPC) is known to be the most potent competitive inhibitor of AKR1B10, but it is nonselective. In this study, derivatives of HMPC were synthesized by removing the 4-methoxyphenylimino moiety and replacing the benzylamide with phenylpropylamide. Among them, 4c and 4e showed higher AKR1B10 inhibitory potency (IC50 4.2 and 3.5 nM, respectively) and selectivity than HMPC. The treatments with the two compounds significantly suppressed not only migration, proliferation, and metastasis of lung cancer A549 cells but also metastatic and invasive potentials of cisplatin-resistant A549 cells.
