Abstract T helper cell 17 (Th17) is a specific subset of T helper lymphocytes determined by high secretion of IL-17 and other inflammatory cytokines. Compared with the typical Th1/Th2 cells, Th17 cells show stronger instability and plasticity, and play a part in different diseases, including infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders and cancer. Th17 cells increase tumor progression by activating angiogenesis and immunosuppressive activities. They can also mediate antitumor immune responses through changing their own phenotype and secreting related factors. Recent studies show that the infiltration of Th17 cells is associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer[1]. In contrast, infiltration of Th17 cells notably enhanced survival in lung cancer patients[2]. So Th17 cells are supposed as a double-edged sword in cancer. Further studies will be needed to advance our understanding of the role of Th17 cells in the immunopathogenesis of individual cancers. This article briefly reviews the differentiation and regulation of Th17 cells, the role and the latest progress of Th17 cells in the development of malignant tumors, in order to provide the improvement of more helpful ways for cancer immunotherapy.
