Abstract

Under the regulation of various cytokines and different concentrations of cytokines, primary CD4+ T cells can differentiate into different Th subgroups. T helper cells 17 (Th17) and regulatory T cells (Treg cells) are research hotspots in recent years. They play diverse immunomodulatory roles by secreting various target cytokines. Th17 and Treg cells are different from each other but connect with each other, their regulatory mechanism is complex, and they play important roles in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This paper reviews the progress of the differentiation, the development and the immunological function of Th17 and Treg cells and their immunomodulatory effect on the NSCLC. Key words: Carcinoma, non-small-cell lung; Regulatory T cells; T helper cells 17
