ABSTRACT
Liver-resident natural killer (LrNK) cells, as a type of newly discovered tissue-resident natural killer cells, have a strong immune killing function. During the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the function of LrNK cells is impaired and such cells may promote the progression of HCC by upregulating the expression of related immune checkpoints. Based on the latest research, this article reviews the immune function of LrNK cells and their role in the development and progression of HCC, in order to explore the application prospect of these cells in HCC immunotherapy.
