Abstract

Tumor Associated Neutrophils (TANs) are recruited to the tumor microenvironment by cytokines and chemokines, can be classified according to their activation and cytokine status and effects on tumor cell growth in N1 and N2 TANs. N1 TANs exert an antitumor activity, by direct or indirect cytotoxicity. On the other hand, N2 TANs promote immunosuppression, tumor growth, angiogenesis and metastasis by DNA instability, or by cytokines and chemokines release. In tumor patients, either a high number of TANs and Neutrophil-to-Lynphocyte Ratio (NLR) do correlate with poor prognosis, and, so far, TAN counts and NLR can be regarded as biomarkers. Due to the key role of TANs in promoting tumor progression, therapeutic strategies to target TANs have been suggested, and two major approaches have been proposed: a) targeting the CXCL-8/CXCR-1/CXCR-2 axis, thereby depleting TANs entirely or b) targeting specific polymorpho- nuclear cell derived substances that promote tumor growth. Many studies have been accomplished either in vitro and in animal models, whereas clinical studies are restrained, presently, due to the risk of inducing immunosuppression. In this review, we deeply discuss the anti-tumorigenic or pro-tumorigenic activity of TANs. In particular, TANs relevance in tumor prognosis and in vitro therapeutic strategies are widely described. On-going clinical trials, aimed to inhibit neutrophil recruitment into the tumor are also accurately debated.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
