SUMOylation is a post-translational modification exerted various effects on the target proteins. SUMOylation is a highly dynamic and reversible process, which has been shown to play an important role in tumorigenesis. However, the roles of sentrin/SUMO-specific proteases (SENPs), which mediate the reverse process of SUMOylation, in tumorigenesis remains largely unexplored.

Methods: Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of Glypican-3 in 200 specimens of colorectal cancer and adjacent non-cancerous tissues resected during operation.
Results: Glypican-3 immunoreactivity was recognized in both the cytoplasm and cellular membrane.

Aim: To explore modulation of CD158+ cells in human peripheral blood by Th1-and Th2-like cytokines and provide basic data for inducing immune tolerance and preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in stem cells transplantation.
Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear from healthy adults were cultured with Th1-like cytokines IL-2, IFN-gamma and Th2-like cytokines IL-4, IL-6 for 72 hours, rates of CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ cells, CD16+ CD56+ cells and CD158a+/b+ cells were analyzed by FACS.
Results: (1) The effects of cytokines on CD3+, CD4+, CD8+ and CD16+ CD56+ cells: the rates of above cells were greatly increased after being treated with IL-2 or IFN-gamma(P< 0.

Unlabelled: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cellular immunity activation on P58(+) cells expressing killer cell inhibitory receptor (KIR) and their regulatory function on cellular immunity, and provid theoretical data for preventing graft-vers-host disease (GVHD) in stem cell transplantation therapy. The mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood were incubated with IL-2, Con A and Lipostin (LP) for 72 hours. The KIR expressing cells, P58.
