The duality of macrophage function in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia

Abstract: Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is the most common adult leukaemia and, in some patients, is accompanied by resistance to both chemotherapeutics and immunotherapeutics. In this review we will discuss the role of tumour associated macrophages (TAMs) in promoting CLL cell survival and resistance to immunotherapeutics. In addition, we will discuss mechanisms by which TAMs suppress T-cell mediated antitumour responses. Thus, targeting macrophages could be used to i) reduce the leukaemic burden via the inductio… Show more

“…They may present the pro-inflammatory properties of an M1-like phenotype in the initial stages of tumor growth, then convert to an M2-like phenotype when the tumor cells begin to invade and metastasize. Based on these findings, therapeutic approaches that target the switch of macrophages from an M2 to an M1 phenotype could be effective in inhibiting tumor growth [21]. …”

“…One theory explains the differentiation of monocytes by the process of maturation and differentiation of these cells into the peripheral blood macrophages [8]. The differences in the percentage of each subpopulation of monocytes observed in CLL patients, compared to the proportion observed in healthy subjects may be due to the fact that classical monocytes may differentiate into tissue macrophages TAMs (Tumor Associated Macrophages) [25,26].…”
