Abstract
G protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) are vital cell surface receptors that govern a myriad of physiological functions. Despite their crucial role in regulating antitumor immunity and tumorigenesis, therapeutic applications targeting GPCRs in oncology are currently limited. This review offers a focused examination of selected protumorigenic chemokine and metabolite‐sensing GPCRs. Specifically, the review highlights five GPCRs able to orchestrate tumor immunobiology at three main levels: tumor immunity, cancer cell expansion, and blood vessel development. The review culminates by illuminating emerging therapies and discussing innovative strategies to harness the full potential of GPCR‐targeted treatments, by applying a multireceptor and patient‐specific logic.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Immunology (EJI) is an official journal of EFIS. Established in 1971, EJI continues to serve the needs of the global immunology community covering basic, translational and clinical research, ranging from adaptive and innate immunity through to vaccines and immunotherapy, cancer, autoimmunity, allergy and more. Mechanistic insights and thought-provoking immunological findings are of interest, as are studies using the latest omics technologies. We offer fast track review for competitive situations, including recently scooped papers, format free submission, transparent and fair peer review and more as detailed in our policies.
