Scheme showing the role played by CD73 in the tumor microenvironment. CD73-derived adenosine shapes the cancer milieu, leading to the generation of a marked immunosuppressive and pro-angiogenic environment that paves the way to neoplasia development. ATP: adenosine triphosphate; AMP: adenosine monophosphate; DC: dendritic cell; MSDC: myeloid-derived suppressor cells; NK cell: natural killer cell; Treg cell: regulatory T cell. ↑: increases; ↓: decreases.
