Abstract:
As a series of multifunctional cells,recent studies indicate that most of the CD4 + T lymphocyte subsets involve in the tumor angiogenesis and invasion,the apoptosis of tumor cells,and the expressions of acute phase proteins and cancer-promoting genes by activating or inhibiting the innate immune cells,the adaptive immune cells and non-immune cells,thus function as tumor promoters or inhibitors in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
