Abstract

While the effector cells that mediate anti-tumor immunity have historically been attributed to αβ T cells and natural killer cells, γδ T cells are now being recognized as a complementary mechanism mediating tumor rejection. γδ T cells possess a host of functions ranging from antigen presentation to regulatory function and, importantly, have critical roles in eliciting anti-tumor responses where other immune effectors may be rendered ineffective. Recent discoveries have elucidated how these differing functions are mediated by γδ T cells with specific T cell receptors and spatial distribution. Their relative resistance to mechanisms of dysfunction like T cell exhaustion has spurred the development of therapeutic approaches exploiting γδ T cells, and an improved understanding of these cells should enable more effective immunotherapies. Fong and colleagues provide a Review on γδ T cells as mediators of anti-tumor immunity, discuss their role in the tumor microenvironment and reflect on therapeutic approaches to exploit γδ T cells.

γδ T 细胞是关键的抗肿瘤免疫效应因子。
介导抗肿瘤免疫的效应细胞历来被认为是 αβ T 细胞和自然杀伤细胞,而 γδ T 细胞现在被认为是介导肿瘤排斥反应的补充机制。γδT细胞具有从抗原递呈到调节功能的一系列功能,重要的是,在其他免疫效应因子可能失效的情况下,γδT细胞在激发抗肿瘤反应方面发挥着关键作用。最新发现阐明了具有特定 T 细胞受体和空间分布的 γδ T 细胞是如何介导这些不同功能的。γδT细胞对T细胞衰竭等功能障碍机制具有相对抵抗力,这推动了利用γδT细胞的治疗方法的发展。

期刊介绍: Cancer is a devastating disease responsible for millions of deaths worldwide. However, many of these deaths could be prevented with improved prevention and treatment strategies. To achieve this, it is crucial to focus on accurate diagnosis, effective treatment methods, and understanding the socioeconomic factors that influence cancer rates. Nature Cancer aims to serve as a unique platform for sharing the latest advancements in cancer research across various scientific fields, encompassing life sciences, physical sciences, applied sciences, and social sciences. The journal is particularly interested in fundamental research that enhances our understanding of tumor development and progression, as well as research that translates this knowledge into clinical applications through innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Additionally, Nature Cancer welcomes clinical studies that inform cancer diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, along with contributions exploring the societal impact of cancer on a global scale. In addition to publishing original research, Nature Cancer will feature Comments, Reviews, News & Views, Features, and Correspondence that hold significant value for the diverse field of cancer research.
