Abstract
IL-9-producing T cells (T9) regulate immunological responses that affect various cellular biological processes, though their precise function remains fully understood. Previous studies have linked T9 cells to conditions such as allergic disorders, parasitic infection clearance, and various types of cancers. While the functional heterogeneity of IL-9 and T9 cells in cancer development has been documented, these cells present promising therapeutic opportunities for treating solid tumors. This review highlights the roles of IL-9 and T9 cells in cancer progression and treatment responses, focusing on potential discrepancies in IL-9/IL-9R signaling between murine tumors and cancer patients. Additionally, we discuss the regulation of tumor-specific Th9/Tc9 cell differentiation, the therapeutic potential of these cells, and current strategies to enhance their anti-tumor activities.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Letters is a reputable international journal that serves as a platform for significant and original contributions in cancer research. The journal welcomes both full-length articles and Mini Reviews in the wide-ranging field of basic and translational oncology. Furthermore, it frequently presents Special Issues that shed light on current and topical areas in cancer research.
Cancer Letters is highly interested in various fundamental aspects that can cater to a diverse readership. These areas include the molecular genetics and cell biology of cancer, radiation biology, molecular pathology, hormones and cancer, viral oncology, metastasis, and chemoprevention. The journal actively focuses on experimental therapeutics, particularly the advancement of targeted therapies for personalized cancer medicine, such as metronomic chemotherapy.
By publishing groundbreaking research and promoting advancements in cancer treatments, Cancer Letters aims to actively contribute to the fight against cancer and the improvement of patient outcomes.
