Roles of major immune cells in the HCC immune microenvironment. Immune cells existing in HCC can be roughly classified into one group that prompts an effective anti-tumor response, and the other group that limits immune response against HCC cells and contribute to an immunosuppressive TME. DC, dendritic cell; TIL, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes; NK, natural killer; MDSC, myeloid-derived suppressor cell; Treg, regulatory T; TAM, tumor-associated macrophage; VEGF, vascular endothelial growth factor; TGF-β, transforming growth factor-Β; IDO, indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase; Arg1, arginase 1; Gln, glutamine; TCR, T cell receptor; MHC-I, major histocompatibility complex I; TME, tumor microenvironment; HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma.
