Abstract:
The tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) are thought to be important and complicated character in tumor microenvironment.TANs play dual roles of anti-tumor or tumor-promoting in tumor microenvironment under different factors.TANs can not only play the anti-tumor effect by killing tumor cells directly and promoting immune response,but also can act as tumor promotors by promoting tumor angiogenesis and mediating tumor invasion and metastasis.Recent researches find that TANs are closely related to pre-metastatic niche (PMN),which can promote the construction and maintenance of PMN by means of changing the content of cell factors like interferon-γ.
