Abstract

Tumor immune escape is now a hallmark of cancer development, and therapies targeting these pathways have emerged as standard of care. Specifically, immune checkpoint signal blockade offers durable responses and increased overall survival. However, the majority of cancer patients still do not respond to checkpoint blockade immune therapy leading to an unmet need in tumor immunology research. Sex-based differences have been noted in the use of cancer immunotherapy suggesting that sex hormones such as estrogen may play an important role in tumor immune regulation. Estrogen signaling already has a known role in autoimmunity, and the estrogen receptor can be expressed across multiple immune cell populations and effect their regulation. While it has been well established that tumor cells such as ovarian carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and even lung carcinoma can be regulated by estrogen, research into the role of estrogen in the regulation of tumor-associated immune cells is still emerging. In this chapter, we discuss the role of estrogen in the tumor immune microenvironment and the possible immunotherapeutic implications of targeting estrogen in cancer patients.

摘要

肿瘤免疫逃逸是癌症发展的一个标志,针对这些途径的治疗方法已经成为标准的治疗方法。具体来说,免疫检查点信号阻断提供了持久的反应和增加整体存活率。然而,大多数癌症患者仍然对检查点阻断免疫治疗没有反应,这导致肿瘤免疫学研究存在未满足的需求。在癌症免疫治疗的应用中已经注意到了基于性别的差异,表明雌激素等性激素可能在肿瘤免疫调节中发挥重要作用。雌激素信号已经在自身免疫中具有已知的作用,并且雌激素受体可以在多种免疫细胞群中表达,并影响其调节。虽然已经确定肿瘤细胞,如卵巢癌、乳腺癌,甚至肺癌可以受到雌激素的调节,但关于雌激素在调节肿瘤相关免疫细胞中的作用的研究仍在出现。在本章中,我们讨论了雌激素在肿瘤免疫微环境中的作用,以及在癌症患者中靶向雌激素的可能免疫治疗意义。
