Pancreatic cancer-associated stellate cells secrete soluble factors, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), that promote the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells via a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-dependent mechanism. Targeting components of the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling axis within the tumor stroma could therefore inhibit local immunosuppression and improve the efficacy of immunotherapeutic regimens against pancreatic cancer.
胰腺癌相关的星状细胞分泌可溶性因子,如白细胞介素-6(IL-6),其通过信号转导和转录激活因子3(STAT3)依赖性机制促进髓源性抑制细胞的积累。因此,靶向肿瘤基质内的IL-6/JAK/STAT3信号轴成分可以抑制局部免疫抑制,并提高针对胰腺癌的免疫治疗方案的疗效。
