Abstract Immunotherapies like the adoptive transfer of gene-engineered T cells and immune checkpoint inhibitors are novel therapeutic modalities for advanced cancers. However, some patients refractory or resistant to these therapies, mechanisms underlying tumor resistance have not been fully elucidated. Immunosuppressive such as myeloid-derived suppressive cells, tumor-associated macrophages, neutrophils, regulatory (Tregs), dendritic critical factors correlated with resistance. In addition, cytokines secreted by immunosuppressive also mediate progression escape Thus, targeting related signals is promising therapy improve efficacy immunotherapies reverse even certain success in preclinical studies specific types cancer, large perspectives unknown therapies undesirable outcomes clinical patients. this review, we comprehensively summarized phenotype, function, potential targets microenvironment.

The chemokine ligand CCL2 and its receptor CCR2 are implicated in the initiation progression of various cancers. can activate tumour cell growth proliferation through a variety mechanisms. By interacting with CCR2, promotes cancer migration recruits immunosuppressive cells to microenvironment, favouring development. Over last several decades, series studies have been conducted explore CCL2-CCR2 signalling axis function malignancies. Therapeutic strategies targeting CCL2- also shown promising effects, enriching our approaches for fighting against cancer.

Abstract Macrophages represent heterogeneous cell population with important roles in defence mechanisms and homoeostasis. Tissue macrophages from diverse anatomical locations adopt distinct activation states. M1 M2 are two polarized forms of mononuclear phagocyte vitro differentiation phenotypic patterns functional properties, but vivo, there is a wide range different macrophage phenotypes between depending on the microenvironment natural signals they receive. In human infections, pathogens use strategies to combat these include shaping polarization towards one or another phenotype. infiltrating tumours can affect patient’s prognosis. have been shown promote tumour growth, while provide both tumour-promoting anti-tumour properties. autoimmune diseases, prolonged activation, as well altered function contribute their onset activity. atherosclerotic lesions, expressing profiles detected potential factors affecting occurrence cardiovascular diseases. allergic inflammation, T2 cytokines drive profiles, which airway inflammation remodelling. transplantations seem acute rejection, fibrosis graft.

Cancer immunotherapy effect can be greatly enhanced by other methods to induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), which has profoundly affected as a highly efficient paradigm. However, these treatments have significant limitations, either causing damage of the immune system or limited superficial tumors. Sonodynamic therapy (SDT) ICD promote without affecting because its excellent spatiotemporal selectivity and low side effects. Nevertheless, SDT is still reactive oxygen species yield complex tumor microenvironment. Recently, some emerging SDT-based nanomedicines made numerous attractive encouraging achievements in field cancer due high immunotherapeutic efficiency. this cross-cutting research far from being widely explored huge professional barriers. Herein, characteristics microenvironment mechanisms are firstly systematically summarized. Subsequently, therapeutic mechanism fully summarized, advantages limitations discussed.

Chronic inflammation plays a pivotal role in cancer development. Cancer cells interact with adjacent cellular components (pro-inflammatory cells, intrinsic immune stromal etc.) and non-cellular to form the inflammatory tumor microenvironment (TME). Interleukin 6 (IL-6), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), checkpoint factors other pro-inflammatory cytokines produced by TME are main mediators of intercellular communication TME, which link chronic stimulating different oncogenic signaling pathways improving escape promote In parallel, ability monocytes, T regulatory (Tregs) B (Bregs) perform homeostatic tolerogenic functions is hijacked leading local or systemic immunosuppression. Standard treatments for advanced malignancies such as chemotherapy radiotherapy have improved last decades. However, clinical outcomes certain malignant cancers not satisfactory due drug resistance side effects. The application therapy (ICT) has brought hope treatment, although therapeutic efficacy still limited immunosuppressive microenvironment. Emerging evidences reveal that ideal therapies including clearance disruption tumor-induced immunosuppression targeting suppressive well reactivation anti-tumor ICT.

Abstract Immunotherapies have revolutionized the treatment paradigms of various types cancers. However, most these immunomodulatory strategies focus on harnessing adaptive immunity, mainly by inhibiting immunosuppressive signaling with immune checkpoint blockade, or enhancing immunostimulatory bispecific T cell engager and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell. Although agents already achieved great success, only a tiny percentage patients could benefit from immunotherapies. Actually, immunotherapy efficacy is determined multiple components in tumor microenvironment beyond immunity. Cells innate arm system, such as macrophages, dendritic cells, myeloid-derived suppressor neutrophils, natural killer unconventional also participate cancer evasion surveillance. Considering that cornerstone antitumor response, utilizing immunity provides potential therapeutic options for control.
