EXTRATUMOR MICROENVIRONMENT IN RENAL CELL CARCINOMA
Keywords:
cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI), tumor microenvironment (MEV), myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC), regulatory T cells (Tregs), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), tumor-associated macrophages (TAM), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)Abstract
The review is focused on studying the immunosuppressive mechanisms acting in the microenvironment of renal cell carcinoma tumors. The report contains a collection of basic literature materials on the study of tumor growth factors that boost tumor cell proliferation and metastasis. The tumor microenvironment (TME) limits the immune surveillance of tumor-associated antigens and the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors. Although renal cell carcinoma is one of several tumor types sensitive to immune checkpoint inhibitors, the efficacy of these agents is likely to be limited by different tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells of bone marrow that make up the TME. Several strategies aimed at eliminating the onset of these cells in tumor tissue or neutralizing their immunosuppressive function have shown encouraging results in animal tumor models and clinical trials.
