We identified a heterogeneous subset of low-density neutrophils (LDNs) that appear transiently in self-resolving inflammation but accumulate continuously with cancer progression. LDNs display impaired neutrophil function and immunosuppressive properties, characteristics that are in stark contrast to those of mature, high-density neutrophils (HDNs). LDNs consist of both immature myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and mature cells that are derived from HDNs in a TGF-beta-dependent mechanism. Our findings identify three distinct populations of circulating neutrophils and challenge the concept that mature neutrophils have limited plasticity. Furthermore, our findings provide a mechanistic explanation to mitigate the controversy surrounding neutrophil function in cancer.}, language = {en} } @article{GoetzRueckschlossBalketal.2023, author = {G{\"o}tz, Lisa and Rueckschloss, Uwe and Balk, G{\"o}zde and Pfeiffer, Verena and Erg{\"u}n, S{\"u}leyman and Kleefeldt, Florian}, title = {The role of carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 in cancer}, series = {Frontiers in Immunology}, volume = {14}, journal = {Frontiers in Immunology}, doi = {10.3389/fimmu.2023.1295232}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-357250}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1), also known as CD66a, is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily.

In this review, we summarize pre-clinical and clinical evidence linking CEACAM1 to tumorigenicity and cancer progression. Furthermore, we discuss potential CEACAM1-based mechanisms that may affect cancer biology.}, language = {en} }
