Table 1 Cell signaling/cell interactions in tumor-infiltrating DCs

From: Deciphering tumor-infiltrating dendritic cells in the single-cell era

Cell type

Cancer type

Cell signaling/cell interaction

cDC1

LUAD

TCF-1+ CD8 T cell reservoir [76]

 

HCC

Elevated HLA gene expression and robust antigen presentation [39]

 

TNBC

Activation of CD4-CXCL13 and CD8-CXCL13 T cells[35]

 

GBM

Recruitment by intracellular cytotoxic T cells [94]

cDC2

LUAD

Reduced pro-inflammatory gene expression and increased anti-inflammatory signals [43]

pDC

LUAD

Upregulated expression of leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor genes, granzyme B production, and loss of CD86, CD83, CD80, and LAMP3 markers [9]

 

OSCC

Elevated IRF8 levels, reduced IFN-α production, and promotion of Treg cell proliferation [82]

LAMP3+ DC

Pan-cancer

Elevated BTLA/CCL17 expression inducing Treg differentiation [10]

 

NSCLC

Enhancement of the population of IFNγ+ CD8+ T effector cells by IFN-γ-mediated IL-12 expression [85]

 

NSCLC

Elevated PD-1 expression, upregulated by AXL receptor tyrosine kinase [85]

 

NPC

Interaction with Treg cells via CTLA4 and CD80/CD86 [49]

 

GC

Upregulation of the expression of IRF1, IRF2, NFKB1, and NFKB2 [84]

moDC

Peritoneal ascites from ovarian cancer patients

Antigen cross-presentation via vacuolar pathway and induction of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell differentiation [90]

 

Thyroid cancer, glioma, and breast cancer

Released TSH promotes proliferation, invasion, and immune escape [52]
