Research Abstract |
In this study, we demonstrated the significance of macrophage in development of tumor microenvironment. We found that high infiltration of CD163- and CD204-positive M2 macrophages correlate to poor clinical prognosis in patients with glioma, cholangiocellular carcinoma, ovarian cancer, malignant lymphoma, and kidney cancer. By means of using murine cancer model, we showed that CD204 regulates the macrophage activation, differentiation to M2 phenotype, and promotes the tumor development. By analysis using human pathological specimens, we interestingly suggested the significant role of CD163 in development of tumor microenvironment.
