Pancreatic cancers are characterized by high levels of inflammatory cells and profound immune suppression. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Bayne et al. and Pylayeva-Gupta et al. show that KRAS-driven, tumor cell-secreted GM-CSF recruits myeloid-derived suppressor cells to the stroma to abrogate tumor cell immune clearance by killer T lymphocytes.
胰腺癌的特征是高水平的炎症细胞和深刻的免疫抑制。在本期《癌细胞》杂志上,Bayne 等人和 Pylayeva-Gupta 等人表明,KRAS 驱动的肿瘤细胞分泌的 GM-CSF 将髓源性抑制细胞募集到基质中,从而阻止杀伤性 T 淋巴细胞清除肿瘤细胞。
