Th2-type inflammation has been proposed to facilitate tumor growth. In De Monte et al. (J Exp Med 208:469-478, 2011) we identify in pancreatic cancer a complex cytokine/chemokine cross-talk within the tumor microenvironment mediating Th2 immune-deviation and show that the ratio of Th2/Th1 tumor infiltrating lymphocytes is an independent predictive marker of patients survival.
Th2 型炎症被认为有助于肿瘤生长。在 De Monte 等人的研究中(J Exp Med 208:469-478, 2011),我们在胰腺癌中发现了肿瘤微环境中复杂的细胞因子/趋化因子相互作用,介导了 Th2 免疫偏离,并表明 Th2/Th1 肿瘤浸润淋巴细胞的比值是患者生存的独立预测标志物。
