The interplay between neutrophils and microbiota in cancer

Carolyne K Smith et al. J Leukoc Biol. 2018 Oct.

Abstract

The role of the microbiota in many diseases including cancer has gained increasing attention. Paired with this is our expanding appreciation for the heterogeneity of the neutrophil compartment regarding surface marker expression and functionality. In this review, we will discuss the influence of the microbiota on granulopoiesis and consequent activity of neutrophils in cancer. As evidence for this microbiota-neutrophil-cancer axis builds, it exposes new therapeutic targets to improve a cancer patient's outcome.

Keywords: TAN; cancer; granulopoiesis; microbiota; neutrophils.
