Traditionally, vaccines have helped eradication of several infectious diseases and also saved millions lives in the human history. Those prophylactic acted through inducing immune responses against a live attenuated, killed organism or antigenic subunits to protect recipient real infection caused by pathogenic microorganism. Nevertheless, development anticancer as valuable targets health has faced challenges requires further optimizations. Dendritic cells (DCs) are most potent antigen presenting (APCs) that play essential roles tumor immunotherapies induction CD8+ T cell immunity. Accordingly, various strategies been tested employ DCs therapeutic for exploiting their activity cells. Application whole purified/recombinant peptides common approaches pulsing DCs, which then injected back into patients. Although some hopeful results reported number DC animal clinical trials cancer patients, such still inefficient require optimization. Failure vaccination is postulated due immunosuppressive microenvironment (TME), overexpression checkpoint proteins, suboptimal avidity tumor-associated (TAA)-specific lymphocytes, lack appropriate adjuvants.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) represent a predominant cellular component within the tumor microenvironment (TME) of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (pNENs). There is growing body evidence highlighting critical role exosomes in facilitating communication between cells and TAMs, thereby contributing to establishment premetastatic niche. Nonetheless, specific mechanisms through which derived from influence macrophage polarization under hypoxic conditions pNENs, manner these interactions support cancer metastasis, remain largely unexplored. Recognizing capacity transfer miRNAs that can modify behaviors, our research identified significant overexpression miR-4488 pNEN cells. Furthermore, we observed absorbed circulating exosomal underwent M2-like polarization. Our investigations revealed promotes by directly targeting suppressing RTN3 macrophages. This suppression enhances fatty acid oxidation activates PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway interaction downregulation FABP5.
