“…On the other hand, IL-17 family members may elicit immune defense against tumors by orchestrating anti-tumor activity by promoting the secretion of chemokines that attract tumor-suppressive lymphocytes, such as CD8 + T cells, to the tumor [ 45 , 46 ]. In addition to IL-17 production for host defense against tumors, MAIT cells are able to directly eliminate tumor cells through the expression of perforin and granzyme B after activation through their TCRs, which are specific against target tumor cells expressing MR1 in complex with metabolite antigens in the plasma membrane [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 28 , 30 , 31 , 41 , 47 ]. Moreover, IL-17A is known to stimulate tumor cell proliferation and metastasis in non-small-cell lung cancer and breast cancer [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ].…”
