摘要: 基因突变的肿瘤干细胞是肿瘤生长和发展的原始动力。然而,仅靠这类细胞并无法单独完成这些步骤。肿瘤细胞周围正常的组织和被招募而来的其他细胞共同构成了肿瘤微环境(Tumor Microenvironment, TME)。癌症的许多特征都是通过各自的TME在不同程度上得以实现和维持的,包括维持肿瘤的增殖信号、诱导血管生成、逃避免疫杀伤、激活肿瘤的侵袭和转移和改变肿瘤细胞的能量代谢等方面。本文综述了TME中的各种细胞为癌症的进展产生的作用,同时探讨了以TME为目标的治疗方法的发展和前景,为未来开发以TME为目标的治疗方式提供了参考。
Abstract: Genetically mutated cancer stem cells serve as the primary driving force behind tumor growth and progression. However, these cells alone cannot accomplish these processes independently. The surrounding normal tissue and recruited ancillary cells collectively constitute the tumor microenvironment (TME). Numerous hallmarks of cancer are achieved and maintained to varying degrees through their respective TMEs, including sustaining proliferative signaling, inducing angiogenesis, evading immune destruction, activating invasion and metastasis, and reprogramming energy metabolism. This review summarizes the contributions of various cellular components within the TME to cancer progression, while examining the development and prospects of TME-targeted therapeutic approaches. The findings provide valuable references for future development of TME-focused treatment strategies.
