Aim: To investigate the expression of LAIR-1 in patients with tumors and the function of LAIR-1 in anticancer immunity.
Methods: A sandwich ELISA was employed to detect the serum sLAIR-1 from tumor patients and healthy individuals. The expression of LAIR-1 in CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, NK cells and B cells isolated from the peripheral blood of cancer patients was examined by fluorescence staining and flow cytometry.
Results: The level of serum sLAIR-1 in tumor patients was higher than that in healthy individuals [4.6+/-3.2 microg/L vs 3.9+/-3.0 microg/L, P<0.05]. NK cells, CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells expressed the up-regulated LAIR-1. The ratio of CD4/CD8 in lung cancer patients decreased significantly while the percentage of B cells in cancer patients increased greatly compared with healthy individuals.
Conclusion: The expression of LAIR-1 is up-regulated in tumor patients, which may contribute to cancer immune escape.

Metastatic breast cancer (BC) spread underscores the need for novel prognostic biomarkers. This study investigated CCR4-NOT Transcription Complex Subunit 7 (CNOT7) and leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) in BC progression and natural killer (NK) cell resistance. In the current study, 90 female BC patients (46 non-metastatic, 44 metastatic) were analyzed.

The STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) pathway plays a vital role in the body's innate immune defense system, primarily involved in DNA sensing and type I interferon production. While STING is well-established in various immune cells, its role in natural killer (NK) cells, particularly within the context of liver fibrosis, remains inadequately explored. The current study investigates the relationship between STING expression, NK cell activity, and insulin receptor (IR) signaling in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

We previously observed that circulating human neutrophils exposed to epithelial ovarian cancer (OC) ascites fluid supernatants (ASC) and malignant effusions from other tumors acquire T cell suppressor function. Collagen motifs ligate LAIR-1, an inhibitory SHP-1-dependent checkpoint broadly expressed on immune cells. We hypothesized that NC410, a bivalent LAIR-2 construct that inhibits LAIR-1-collagen binding, would rescue neutrophil-driven T cell non-responsiveness.

Objective: RNA-seq was used to explore the potential mechanism underlying human leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor 1 (LAIR-1) inhibition of the proliferation and migration of ovarian cancer cells.
Method: A LAIR-1-overexpression cell model was established using a LAIR-1-lentivirus. After confirming and identifying the LAIR-1 expression cell clones by flow cytometry and RT-qPCR, the proliferation and migration of the cells were examined by CCK8 and scratch assays, and the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were searched by RNA-seq and analyzed by GO and KEGG enrichment.

The intramuscular administration of polymerized type I collagen (PTIC) for adult symptomatic COVID-19 outpatients downregulated hyperinflammation and improved symptoms. We inferred that LAIR1 is a potential receptor for PTIC. Thus, a binding assay and surface plasmon resonance binding assay were performed to estimate the affinity of the interaction between LAIR1 and PTIC.
