Liver Transpl . 2008 Feb; 14(3):292-8. PMID: 18306331
The premise of our study is that selective inhibition of interferon (IFN) by calcineurin inhibitors contribute to the increased severity of hepatitis C virus (HCV) posttransplantation. Therefore, we examined the...

Nakao K, Hamasaki K, Ichikawa T, Arima K, Eguchi K, Ishii N
Oncol Rep . 2006 Jul; 16(2):389-92. PMID: 16820920
Survivin, an anti-apoptotic protein, is abundantly expressed in a variety of cancer cells, including hepatoma cells, resulting in the resistance of these cells to various apoptotic stimuli. Tumor necrosis factor...

Oncol Rep . 2006 Jun; 16(1):141-6. PMID: 16786137
It is known that, besides its direct cytotoxic effect as an alkylating chemotherapeutic agent, cyclophosphamide also has immuno-modulatory effects, such as depletion of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells. However, its optimal...

Hayashi T, Nakao K, Nagayama Y, Saitoh O, Ichikawa T, Ishikawa H, et al.
Int J Oncol . 2005 Apr; 26(5):1313-9. PMID: 15809723
Dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccine is a developing strategy to treat cancer including hepatoma. We evaluated the antitumor efficacy of vaccination with DCs pulsed with apoptotic cells, as compared to vaccination...

Ishida Y, Migita K, Izumi Y, Nakao K, Ida H, Kawakami A, et al.
FEBS Lett . 2004 Jul; 569(1-3):156-60. PMID: 15225625
In this study, we examined whether interleukin-18 (IL-18) affects natural killer (NK) cells' migration and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) production. We demonstrated that chemotaxis of human NK cells through basement membrane-like...
