Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Malignant Melanoma Microenvironment

Abstract: The role of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in cancer progression has been uncovered in recent years. ILCs are classified as Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 ILCs, which are characterized by the transcription factors necessary for their development and the cytokines and chemokines they produce. ILCs are a highly heterogeneous cell population, showing both anti– and protumoral properties and capable of adapting their phenotypes and functions depending on the signals they receive from their surrounding environment. ILCs … Show more

“…In cutaneous melanoma, there is an enrichment of NK, ILC1, and ILC3NCR + cells. Moreover, NK cells and ILC3 were increased in liver and lung metastases, and ILC2 was increased in lung metastases [ 33 ]. In melanoma patients, the dynamic differentiation of ILCs in the tumor environment may allow circulation of other ILC subsets [ 26 ].…”

“…The downregulation of activation receptors on the CD56 + CD16 + NK subsets from metastatic melanoma patients confirmed previously described numerous studies [ 34 ], including ours [ 35 , 36 ] on monitoring NK cells. Immunosuppressive factors and cytokines that are produced by the tumor as soluble molecules or presented on extracellular vesicles (EVs) may contribute to these immune defects of ILCs [ 33 ]. Furthermore, NK-derived extracellular vesicles can compromise NK cell function [ 37 ].…”

“…All innate immune cells inside the TME can be involved in processes favoring tumor cell survival, proliferation, motility and invasive potential, resistance to treatment and to immune attacks, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, and angiogenesis. However, the mechanisms of these processes can differ according to the immune cell considered, to the tissue, and to the stage of the tumor [3][4][5]. These diverse mechanisms can involve cell-cell interactions via different membrane molecules at the surface of immune cells and cancer cells.…”
