Impaired dendritic cell functions in lung cancer: a review of recent advances and future perspectives

Abstract: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the key factors providing protective immunity against lung tumors and clinical trials have proven that DC function is reduced in lung cancer patients. It is evident that the immunoregulatory network may play a key role in the failure of the immune response to terminate tumors. Lung tumors likely employ numerous strategies to suppress DC-based anti-tumor immunity. Here, we summarize the recent advances in our understanding… Show more

“…129 CD103 + DCs alone appear to orchestrate the appropriate Th17 response to fungal infection through production of IL-2 and IL-23. 131,132 Cell-tracking experiments in murine melanoma tumour models show that CD103 + DCs are the only intra-tumoral myeloid cell type able to transport and present intact antigen to tumour-specific CD8 + T cells and their activation was protective against tumour re-challenge. DCs take up necrotic and apoptotic tumour fragments to present to antigen-specific cytotoxic and helper T cells, and are therefore important providers of protective anti-cancer immunity.…”

“…In the NSCLC tumor microenvironment, the landscape of immune cell types is T cells, followed by B cells, macrophages, DCs and natural killer cells [28]. Dendritic cells are specialized antigen-presenting cells that play an important role in the activation of antitumor T lymphocytes [39,40]. The infiltration of T cells generally predicts a better clinical outcomes in patients [41].…”

“…These results show that high FGL2 expression is closely related to enhanced CD8 + T cell-mediated antitumor activities. Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered important factors that provide protective immunity against lung adenocarcinoma (Wang, Huang & Li, 2019). Inactive DCs are correlated with the poor prognosis of lung cancer patients.…”
