Both T1 and T2 cytokines influence the antitumor functions of macrophages. We have recently shown that interferon γ (IFNγ) licenses the antineoplastic functions of CD40 ligand (CD40L)-stimulated macrophages more efficiently than interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13. The presence of a T1 and T2 skewed tumor microenvironment may therefore influence therapeutic responses to CD40 agonists, agents that are showing promise in preliminary clinical trials.
T1 和 T2 细胞因子均影响巨噬细胞的抗肿瘤功能。我们最近发现,与白细胞介素(IL)-4 和 IL-13 相比,干扰素 γ(IFNγ)更有效地许可 CD40 配体(CD40L)刺激的巨噬细胞发挥抗肿瘤功能。因此,T1 和 T2 偏向性肿瘤微环境的存在可能会影响对 CD40 激动剂的治疗反应,这些激动剂在初步临床试验中显示出了前景。
