Role of tissue-resident FOLR2+ Macrophages as Organizers of the Tumor Immune MicroEnvironment
The infiltration of CD8+ T cells in tumors is crucial for the development of immunity against cancer. We have recently identified a tissue-resident macrophage population expressing the folate receptor 2 (FOLR2) and infiltrating human and murine breast tumors. We have shown that tumor-infiltrating CD8+ T cell form lymphoid aggregate around FOLR2+ macrophages in a perivascular niche. The abundance of FOLR2+ macrophages associates with lymphocyte infiltration, the onset of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) and favorable prognosis. The abundance of TLS in cancer correlates with better prognosis and clinical response to immunotherapy. Yet, the molecular and cellular cues underlying TLS…
