Recent years, immunotherapy has turned out to be a promising strategy against tumors. Peripheral dopamine (DA) has important roles in immune system among tumor patients. Accumulated reports demonstrate variable expression and distribution of DA receptors (DRs) in diverse immune cells. Interestingly, peripheral DA also involves in tumor progression and it exerts anticancer effects on immunomodulation, which includes inflammasomes in cancer, function of immune effector cells, such as T lymphocytes, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and natural killer (NK) cells. Given the specific immunologic status, DA medication may be a valuable candidate in pancreatic cancer treatment. The major purpose of this review is to discuss the novel potential interactions between peripheral dopamine and tumor immunity.
近年来,免疫疗法已成为一种很有前景的抗肿瘤策略。外周多巴胺(DA)在肿瘤患者的免疫系统中发挥重要作用。大量报道表明,多巴胺受体(DRs)在不同免疫细胞中表达和分布各异。有趣的是,外周多巴胺也参与肿瘤进展,并且在免疫调节方面发挥抗癌作用,这包括癌症中的炎性小体、免疫效应细胞的功能,如T淋巴细胞、髓源性抑制细胞(MDSC)、肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAM)和自然杀伤(NK)细胞。鉴于特定的免疫状态,多巴胺药物可能是胰腺癌治疗中有价值的候选药物。本综述的主要目的是探讨外周多巴胺与肿瘤免疫之间新的潜在相互作用。
