Abstract
Glioma is the most common primary intracranial tumor in adults, with high incidence, recurrence, and mortality rates. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) are essential components of the tumor microenvironment (TME) in glioma and play a crucial role in glioma cell proliferation, invasion and proneural-mesenchymal transition. Besides the interactions between TANs and tumor cells, the multi-dimensional crosstalk between TANs and other components within TME have been reported to participate in glioma progression. More importantly, several therapies targeting TANs have been developed and relevant preclinical and clinical studies have been conducted in cancer therapy. In this review, we introduce the origin of TANs and the functions of TANs in malignant behaviors of glioma, highlighting the microenvironmental regulation of TANs. Moreover, we focus on summarizing the TANs-targeted methods in cancer therapy, aiming to provide insights into the mechanisms and therapeutic opportunities of TANs in the malignant glioma microenvironment.
