Abstract

T helper 17 (Th17) cells were first described as a novel T helper cell lineage independent from Th1 and Th2 subsets. Th17 cells play vital roles in inflammation and tumor immunity. It causes the dissipation of antitumor immunity and contribution to the survival of tumor cells, worsening tumor growth and metastasis. Tumor-infiltrating Th17 cells were seen innumerous cancers in mice and humans. There has been an association between intratumoral Th17 cell infiltration and both good and bad prognoses. Besides the protumoral roles defined for IL-17 andTh17 cells, several reports have shown that Th17 cells also drive antitumoral immunity. Various mechanisms by which Th17 cells control tumor growth are as following: recruitment of several immune cells including DCs, CD4+ T cells, and CD8+ T cells within tumors, activation of CD8+ T cells, and probably plasticity toward Th1 phenotype, related to IFN-γ and TNF-α production. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been exhibited to infiltrate human tumors and are believed to restrict antitumor immunity. The effect of Treg cells has been more controversial. Whereas some studies have proposed that a high density of Treg cells within the tumor associated with a poor clinical prognosis, other studies have presented a positive clinical prognosis, underlining the importance of elucidating the clinical significance of Treg cells further. Treg and Th17 cells play both positive and negative roles in regulating antitumor immune responses. In spite of the presence of these cells, yet some tumors develop and grow. These T cells by themselves are not adequate to efficiently mount antitumor immune responses. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
