They found that regulatory T cell ablation at the DCIS stage resulted in a more aggressive phenotype that promoted DCIS progression.234 Boyle and colleagues developed a MMTV-PyMT, C-C chemokine receptor 6-null mouse model and found that the chemokine receptor, CCR6, could promote DCIS initiation and progression by mediating pro-tumorigenic macrophages in the tumor microenvironment.235. This evidence concerns the gene CCR6 and neoplasm.
