Figure 1. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells play a dual regulatory role in cancer immune responses. pDCs that exhibit a tolerogenic phenotype (left panel) contribute to the tumor immune escape. At the same time, signals released from tumor cells and the TME (e.g., the expression of BST2 in cancer cells or tumor-derived cytokines) favor the impairment of pDCs. On the other hand, functional pDCs (right p
