Immunoflourecent Staining Detect The Prognostic Significance Of M2 Macrophage, Aseel Abdulalla Hussain, Ibrahim Abdulmajeed Altamemi, Thair Wali Ali

Al-Qadisiyah Medical Journal

     Tumor cells use multiple mechanisms to invade extracellular matrix and metastasize to distant organs. The interaction between the tumor cells and stromal cells in the tumor microenvironment plays an important role in tumor growth and metastasis. Tumor associated macrophage (TAM) are prominent stromal cells in this interaction. They secret a variety of growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, and enzymes that regulate tumor growth, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. Macrophages show two polarization states in response to different micro-environmental signals. M1macrophages are pro-inflammatory and function as bactericidal and antigen-presenting cells. M2 macrophages have an immunosuppressive phenotype. Thus the aim of current study is …
