摘要: 中性粒细胞是人类血液中最丰富的免疫细胞,存在于肿瘤微环境中的中性粒细胞称为肿瘤相关中性粒细胞(Tumor-associated neutrophils, TANs),在肿瘤发生发展中发挥重要作用。近年来,多项研究表明,TANs与传统中性粒细胞相比显著不同,并存在N1和N2等多种异质性亚型,发挥抗瘤和促瘤双重效应。然而,目前尚无统一的方法对TANs进行精准鉴定。本文综述了TANs的分子特征及鉴定方法,有望为TANs的相关研究提供借鉴意义。
Abstract: Neutrophils are the most abundant immune cells in human blood. Neutrophils that infiltrate the tumor microenvironment are termed tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs), which play pivotal roles in tumor initiation and progression. In recent years, accumulating studies have demonstrated that TANs exhibit distinct biological characteristics compared with their conventional counterparts in circulation, and they consist of heterogeneous subsets such as N1 and N2 phenotypes, exerting dual pro-tumorigenic and anti-tumorigenic effects. However, a standardized protocol for the accurate identification of TANs has not been established to date. This review summarizes the molecular features and identification methods of TANs, aiming to provide valuable insights for future research in this field.
