Effects of m7G risk levels on tumor immune microenvironment.
Immune cell | Variation trend in high m7G risk | Roles in tumor immunity | Final effect on antitumor immunity |
---|---|---|---|
CD8T cells | Decreased | CD8+ T cells exert potent cytotoxic effects to eradicate tumour cells | Unfavorable |
Follicular helper T cells | Increased | TFH is a subset of CD4+ T cells specialized to prevent excessive antibody response | Unfavorable |
Regulatory T cells | Increased | Tregs are capable of suppressing the functions of CD8+ T cells | Unfavorable |
Gamma delta T cells | Decreased | The gamma delta T cells have capacities for killing tumor cells | Unfavorable |
M0 macrophages | Increased | The polarization of macrophage M1/M2 results in different immune responses | Uncertain |
M1 macrophages | Decreased | M1 macrophages can phagocytose tumor cells through their proinflammatory abilities | Unfavorable |
M2 macrophages | Decreased | M2 macrophages can promote tumor growth and invasion though their anti-inflammatory abilities | Favorable |
m7G, N7-methylguanosine; TFH, follicular helper T cells; Tregs, regulatory T cells.
