Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase gamma (PI3Kγ), a class I PI3K family member, plays a critical role in modulating inflammation and immune responses within the tumour microenvironment. Emerging evidence suggests that PI3Kγ promotes myeloid cell trafficking and transcription, leading to tumour progression and metastasis. This review explores the multifaceted roles of PI3Kγ in tumour-associated inflammation, highlighting its involvement in immune cell polarisation, cytokine production, and the dynamic interaction between tumour cells and the surrounding stromal environment. We also discuss the potential therapeutic implications of targeting PI3Kγ to modulate inflammation and inhibit tumour growth. Given its pivotal role in immune response and tumour progression, PI3Kγ represents a promising target for future cancer therapies to reduce inflammation-driven tumorigenesis.
磷脂酰肌醇3-激酶γ(PI3Kγ)是I类PI3K家族成员,在调节肿瘤微环境中的炎症和免疫反应中起关键作用。新出现的证据表明,PI3Kγ促进髓样细胞迁移和转录,导致肿瘤进展和转移。本综述探讨了PI3Kγ在肿瘤相关炎症中的多方面作用,强调了其在免疫细胞极化、细胞因子产生以及肿瘤细胞与周围基质环境之间动态相互作用中的作用。我们还讨论了靶向PI3Kγ以调节炎症和抑制肿瘤生长的潜在治疗意义。鉴于其在免疫反应和肿瘤进展中的关键作用,PI3Kγ是未来癌症治疗中减少炎症驱动肿瘤发生的一个有前景的靶点。
