| Years | Type of tumor | Tissues | Functions of Th9/IL-9 signature |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | Melanoma | TIL | The decrease in tumor-infiltrating Th9 cells is associated with higher tumor development. |
| 2016 | CD8+ T cells | Th9 cells favor melanoma-specific CD8+ T cell-mediated anti-tumor function in patients treated with Nibolumab. | |
| 2017 | Breast cancer | Peripheral blood and circulating CD4+ T cells | Enhances CD8+ T cell-mediated cytotoxicity. |
| 2019 | Cervical cancer | Cervical | Inhibits proliferation and promote apoptosis of cervical cancer cells |
