Roles of macrophages in tumor development:a spatiotemporal perspective

扫码查看
Macrophages are critical regulators of tissue homeostasis but are also abundant in the tumor microenvironment(TME).In both primary tumors and metastases,such tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)seem to support tumor development.While we know that TAMs are the dominant immune cells in the TME,their vast heterogeneity and associated functions are only just being unraveled.In this review,we outline the various known TAM populations found thus far and delineate their specialized roles associated with the main stages of cancer progression.We discuss how macrophages may prime the premetastatic niche to enable the growth of a metastasis and then how subsequent metastasis-associated macrophages can support secondary tumor growth.Finally,we speculate on the challenges that remain to be overcome in TAM research.
