Soluble IL-33 receptor sST2 inhibits colorectal cancer malignant growth by modifying the tumour microenvironment
IL-33 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine with a role in colorectal cancer. Here, the authors show that circulating tumour-derived sST2, an IL-33 decoy receptor, delayed the growth and progression of colorectal cancer cells by inhibiting Th1/Th2 polarization, macrophage infiltration and angiogenesis.
