For example, many types of cancer upregulate endothelins signalling of tumor endothelium to impede CTLs infiltration in tumor4,5; soluble mediators such as IL-10 and transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) secreted by either tumor cells or tumor-recruited Treg cells significantly suppress the cytotoxic function of CTLs3. The gene discussed is TGFB1; the disease is neoplasm.
