Abstract

In cancer, the accumulation of adenosine in the tumor microenvironment (TME) mediates immune suppression mainly via the high affinity A2A receptor (A2AR), causing dysregulation of innate and adaptative immune cell subsets and dampening the antitumor immune response. This results in increased tumor cell survival and immune escape (Blay 1997; Merighi 2003; Muller-Haegele 2014). Therefore, inhibiting A2AR could reverse immunosuppression and re-establish immune surveillance in the tumor microenvironment.
