Abstract

Tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) are ectopic lymphoid aggregates formed by the structured accumulation of immune cells such as B cells and T cells in non-lymphoid tissues induced by infection, inflammation, and tumors. They play a crucial role in the immune response, particularly in association with tumor development, where they primarily exert anti-tumor immune functions during tumorigenesis. Current research suggests that TLSs inhibit tumor growth by facilitating immune cell infiltration and are correlated with favorable prognosis in various solid tumors, serving as an indicator of immunotherapy effectiveness to some extent. Therefore, TLSs hold great promise as a valuable biomarker. Most importantly, immunotherapies aimed to prompting TLSs formation are anticipated to be potent adjuncts to current cancer treatment. This review focuses on the formation process of TLSs and their potential applications in cancer therapy.

三级淋巴结构及其对癌症的治疗意义。
三级淋巴结构(TLS)是由感染、炎症和肿瘤诱导的免疫细胞(如 B 细胞和 T 细胞)在非淋巴组织中结构性聚集形成的异位淋巴聚集体。它们在免疫反应中发挥着至关重要的作用,尤其是在肿瘤发生过程中,它们主要发挥抗肿瘤免疫功能。目前的研究表明,TLS 通过促进免疫细胞浸润来抑制肿瘤生长,并与各种实体瘤的良好预后相关,在一定程度上可作为免疫疗法有效性的指标。因此,TLS 很有希望成为一种有价值的生物标记物。最重要的是,旨在促使 TLSs 形成的免疫疗法有望成为当前癌症治疗的有效辅助手段。本综述将重点讨论 TLSs 的形成过程及其在癌症治疗中的潜在应用。

期刊介绍: The Official Journal of the International Society for Cellular Oncology Focuses on translational research Addresses the conversion of cell biology to clinical applications Cellular Oncology publishes scientific contributions from various biomedical and clinical disciplines involved in basic and translational cancer research on the cell and tissue level, technical and bioinformatics developments in this area, and clinical applications. This includes a variety of fields like genome technology, micro-arrays and other high-throughput techniques, genomic instability, SNP, DNA methylation, signaling pathways, DNA organization, (sub)microscopic imaging, proteomics, bioinformatics, functional effects of genomics, drug design and development, molecular diagnostics and targeted cancer therapies, genotype-phenotype interactions. A major goal is to translate the latest developments in these fields from the research laboratory into routine patient management. To this end Cellular Oncology forms a platform of scientific information exchange between molecular biologists and geneticists, technical developers, pathologists, (medical) oncologists and other clinicians involved in the management of cancer patients. In vitro studies are preferentially supported by validations in tumor tissue with clinicopathological associations.
