Potential therapeutic targets of the hepatic pre-metastatic niche. Integrin α5β5-expressing tumor-derived EVs inhibited by Cilengitide. CXCR4 inhibitors plerixafor or BL80-40 can inhibit CXCR4+ neutrophils. CCX872 inhibits CCR2+ MAMs and neutrophils. Pepducin or CXCR2 small-molecule inhibitor (AZ13381758) blocks CXCR2+ neutrophils and MDSCs. MIF inhibitors imalumab and ISO-1. SDF-1/CXCL12 inhibitor NOX A12. IL-15 superagonist (SA)/IL-15 receptor alpha complex rescues the SMAD2/3-mediated inhibitory effects of TGF-β on NK cells. PD-L1/2 inhibitor CA-170 inhibits PD-L2-mediated inhibition of CD8+ T cells.
