Research Article: IL4I1 in M2-like macrophage promotes glioma progression and is a promising target for immunotherapy
Abstract:
Background: Glioma is the prevailing malignant intracranial tumor, characterized by an abundance of macrophages. Specifically, the infiltrating macrophages often display the M2 subtype and are known as tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). They have a critical role in promoting the oncogenic properties of tumor cells. Interleukin-4-induced-1 (IL4I1) functions as an L-phenylalanine oxidase, playing a key part in regulating immune responses and the progression of various tumors. However, there is limited understanding of the IL4I1-mediated cross-talk function between TAMs and glioma cell in the glioma microenvironment.
