Supplementary Figure S11 from EML4–ALK Rearrangement Creates a Distinctive Myeloid Cell–Dominant Immunosuppressive Microenvironment in Lung Cancer

Key Points

IL-6 produced by cancer cells decreases chemokine gene expression for CD8+ T cell attraction, leading to immunosuppression.
MDSC induction is linked to EML4-ALK rearrangement, facilitating a distinct immune microenvironment in lung cancer.
These findings highlight the regulatory effects of IL-6 on immune cell dynamics within tumor settings.
The observed changes underscore the need for therapeutic strategies targeting IL-6 in lung cancer treatment.
