“…Tumor-infiltrated immune cells are dual, some of which has the effect of inhibiting tumor proliferation and metastasis, such as effector CD8+T (Teff) cells, memory CD8+T (Tmem) cells, natural killer cells (NK cells), B cells, M1 macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), N1 neutrophils and so on, while others may be of benefit to the development of tumors, including Treg cells, M2 macrophages, myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), and N2 neutrophils ( 62 ). Among them, cytotoxic T cells, T effector cells, dendritic cells, and B cells mainly remove cancer cells by recognizing specific antigens, while natural killer cells and macrophages block tumor development through non-specific immune responses ( 63 ). Although these cells can prevent tumor development to a certain extent, tumors gradually adapt and promote the role of cells suppressing the immune response, such as tumor-associated macrophages and regulatory T cells, and this feature of tumors forms an immunosuppressive microenvironment, which facilitates ultimately tumor proliferation and metastasis ( 64 ).…”
