Abstract
Primary liver cancer is a solid malignancy with a high mortality rate. The success of immunotherapy has shown great promise in improving patient care and highlights a crucial need to understand the complexity of the liver tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Recent advances in single-cell and spatial omics technologies, coupled with the development of systems biology approaches, are rapidly transforming the landscape of tumor immunology. Here we review the cellular landscape of liver TIME from single-cell and spatial perspectives. We also discuss the cellular interaction networks within the tumor cell community in regulating immune responses. We further highlight the challenges and opportunities with implications for biomarker discovery, patient stratification, and combination immunotherapies.
原发性肝癌是一种死亡率很高的实体恶性肿瘤。免疫疗法的成功为改善患者护理带来了巨大希望,同时也凸显了了解肝脏肿瘤免疫微环境(TIME)复杂性的迫切需要。单细胞和空间全息技术的最新进展,加上系统生物学方法的发展,正在迅速改变肿瘤免疫学的面貌。在此,我们从单细胞和空间的角度回顾了肝脏 TIME 的细胞景观。我们还讨论了肿瘤细胞群落内调节免疫反应的细胞相互作用网络。我们进一步强调了生物标志物发现、患者分层和联合免疫疗法所面临的挑战和机遇。
期刊介绍:
Seminars in Liver Disease is a quarterly review journal that publishes issues related to the specialties of hepatology and gastroenterology.
As the premiere review journal in the field, Seminars in Liver Disease provides in-depth coverage with articles and issues focusing on topics such as cirrhosis, transplantation, vascular and coagulation disorders, cytokines, hepatitis B & C, Nonalcoholic Steatosis Syndromes (NASH), pediatric liver diseases, hepatic stem cells, porphyrias as well as a myriad of other diseases related to the liver. Attention is also given to the latest developments in drug therapy along with treatment and current management techniques. Seminars in Liver Disease publishes commissioned reviews. Unsolicited reviews of an exceptional nature or original articles presenting remarkable results will be considered, but case reports will not be published.
