肿瘤相关巨噬细胞在肿瘤放射治疗中的研究进展

Advances in Tumor-associated Macrophages in Cancer Radiotherapy

  • 摘要: 肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAM)是肿瘤组织中数量最多的免疫细胞之一。TAM为一个表型可塑的异质性细胞群体,能调控肿瘤增殖、转移及耐药等表型,已成为抗肿瘤治疗的新靶点。放射治疗是恶性肿瘤的基本治疗手段之一,研究发现放射治疗对TAM的表型和功能有显著影响,而TAM也可反过来调控肿瘤放疗疗效。本文就TAM在肿瘤放疗中的研究进展作一综述。

     

    Abstract: Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are one of the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. As a heterogenous cell population, TAMs usually affect tumor growth, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance. Currently, TAM has attracted wide attention as a promising therapy target for human cancers. As one of the basic treatments of malignant tumors, radiotherapy can regulate the phenotypes and functions of TAM. Meanwhile, TAM can affect the response of cancer cells to radiation. This paper reviews the research advances of TAM in cancer radiotherapy.
