In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients, the intratumoral expression of Toll-like receptor-3 (TLR3) correlates with prolonged survival. We demonstrated that TLR3 ligands can operate through three independent mechanisms: by directly killing TLR3-expressing cancer cells, by inducing T- and natural killer (NK)-cell infiltration and by activating TLR3-expressing NK cells.
在肝细胞癌(HCC)患者中,Toll样受体3(TLR3)的肿瘤内表达与生存期延长相关。我们证明,TLR3配体可通过三种独立机制发挥作用:直接杀死表达TLR3的癌细胞、诱导T细胞和自然杀伤(NK)细胞浸润以及激活表达TLR3的NK细胞。
