Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is highly associated with inflammation. Myeloid cells, including tumor-associated macrophages and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, are abundant in the HCC microenvironment and are often associated with poor prognosis. Myeloid cells in HCC play a vital role in supporting tumor initiation, progression, angiogenesis, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Here, we summarize our current knowledge about myeloid cells in HCC and focus on their immune-suppressive activities and tumor-promoting functions, as well as the relevance to potential new therapies in HCC.
肝细胞癌(HCC)与炎症高度相关。髓系细胞,包括肿瘤相关巨噬细胞和髓系来源的抑制细胞,在HCC微环境中大量存在,且常与预后不良相关。HCC中的髓系细胞在支持肿瘤起始、进展、血管生成、转移和治疗抵抗方面发挥着至关重要的作用。在此,我们总结了目前关于HCC中髓系细胞的知识,并重点关注它们的免疫抑制活性和肿瘤促进功能,以及与HCC潜在新疗法的相关性。
