The effect of β-glucans and their receptor Dectin-1 in tumor development remains controversial. Here the authors show that Dectin-1 signaling promotes the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) by inducing prostaglandin E2 production in myeloid-derived suppressor cells and by suppressing IL-22BP expression, suggesting dectin-1 blockade as a potential therapeutic target for CRC.
