Extracellular 2′5′‐oligoadenylate synthetase 2 mediates T ‐cell receptor CD 3‐ζ chain down‐regulation via caspase‐3 activation in oral cancer
23 Nov 2015
Abstract excerpt
Decreased expression of CD3-ζ chain, an adaptor protein associated with T-cell signalling, is well documented in patients with oral cancer, but the mechanistic justifications are fragmentary. Previous studies in patients with oral cancer have shown that decreased expression of CD3-ζ chain was associated with decreased responsiveness of T cells. Tumours are known to induce localized as well as systemic immune...
