Abstract:
Nature killer (NK) cells are the first line of defense against viral infections and cell mutations.There are multiple activating and inhibitory receptors on the surface of NK cells,and the dynamic balance between them controls the killing or quiescent state of NK cells.Among them,inhibitory receptors play an important role as immune checkpoints.Tumors through certain immune checkpoint pathways act the primary mechanism of immune resistance.The emerging field of cancer immunotherapy explores novel methods for increasing NK cell antitumor immunity by using immune checkpoint inhibitors aimed at tilting the balance toward activation.In recent years,inhibitor therapies targeting immune checkpoints have achieved great success.This article provides a review of the current status of research and application of NK cell immune checkpoints and their inhibitors.
