The complement system plays crucial roles in both innate and adaptive immune responses, facilitating the elimination of pathogens such as microorganisms and damaged cells, including cancer cells. It is tightly regulated and integrated with cell-mediated immunity. In the tumor microenvironment, the complement system performs both immune and nonimmune functions in tumor and immune cells through pathways that depend on or are independent of complement activation, thereby promoting immune evasion and tumor progression.
补体系统在固有免疫和适应性免疫反应中均发挥着关键作用,有助于清除病原体,如微生物以及受损细胞,包括癌细胞。它受到严格调控,并与细胞介导的免疫相互整合。在肿瘤微环境中,补体系统通过依赖或不依赖补体激活的途径,在肿瘤细胞和免疫细胞中发挥免疫和非免疫功能,从而促进免疫逃逸和肿瘤进展。
