| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tumor-associated macrophages activated cytokine signaling through the interaction with renal cell cancer cells, and then this signaling activated tumor-associated macrophages themselves resulting in myeloid derived suppressor cells. The number of regulatory T cells in blood of advanced kidney caner patients is relatively high and the number of myeloid derived suppressor cells might increase in blood of advanced kidney caner patients,too. As molecular targeting agents can suppress the effect of myeloid derived suppressor cells, it may be better to use IL-2 prior to molecular targeting agents.
