Abstract Circular RNAs (circRNAs), one type of non-coding RNA, were initially misinterpreted as nonfunctional products pre-mRNA mis-splicing. Currently, circRNAs have been proven to manipulate the functions diverse molecules, including RNAs, mRNAs, DNAs and proteins, regulate cell activities in physiology pathology. Accumulating evidence indicates that play critical roles tumor genesis, development, sensitivity radiation chemotherapy. Radiotherapy chemotherapy are two primary types intervention for most cancers, but their therapeutic efficacies usually retarded by intrinsic acquired resistance. Thus, it is urgent develop new strategies improve responses. To achieve this, clarification underlying mechanisms affecting responses cancer needed. This review summarizes recent progress resistance chemotherapy, discusses limitations available knowledge potential future directions.

Abstract Accumulating evidence shows that cellular and acellular components in tumor microenvironment (TME) can reprogram initiation, growth, invasion, metastasis, response to therapies. Cancer research treatment have switched from a cancer-centric model TME-centric one, considering the increasing significance of TME cancer biology. Nonetheless, clinical efficacy therapeutic strategies targeting TME, especially specific cells or pathways remains unsatisfactory. Classifying chemopathological characteristics crosstalk among one another greatly benefit further studies exploring effective treating methods. Herein, we present an updated image with emphasis on hypoxic niche, immune microenvironment, metabolism acidic innervated mechanical microenvironment. We then summarize conventional drugs including aspirin, celecoxib, β-adrenergic antagonist, metformin, statin new antitumor application. These are considered as viable candidates for combination therapy due their activity extensive use practice. also provide our outlook directions potential applications theory. This review depicts comprehensive vivid landscape biology treatment.

Efforts to develop anti-cancer therapies have largely focused on targeting the epithelial compartment, despite presence of non-neoplastic stromal components that substantially contribute progression tumor. Indeed, cancer cell survival, growth, migration, and even dormancy are influenced by surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME). Within TME, cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) been shown play several roles in development a They secrete growth factors, inflammatory ligands, extracellular matrix proteins promote proliferation, therapy resistance, immune exclusion. However, recent work indicates CAFs may also restrain some circumstances. In this review, we summarize body CAFs, with particular focus most discoveries about fibroblast heterogeneity, plasticity, functions. We highlight commonalities present across different types, normal states. Finally, latest advances regarding therapeutic strategies undergoing preclinical clinical evaluation.

Abstract Lung cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease. Cancer cells and within the tumor microenvironment together determine disease progression, as well response to or escape from treatment. To map cell type-specific transcriptome landscape of their in advanced non-small lung (NSCLC), we analyze 42 tissue biopsy samples stage III/IV NSCLC patients by single RNA sequencing present large scale, resolution profiles NSCLCs. In addition types described previous studies early cancer, are able identify rare tumors such follicular dendritic T helper 17 cells. Tumors different display heterogeneity cellular composition, chromosomal structure, developmental trajectory, intercellular signaling network phenotype dominance. Our study also reveals correlation with associated neutrophils, which might help shed light on function NSCLC.

Intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) is the second most common liver malignancy. ICC typically features remarkable cellular heterogeneity and a dense stromal reaction. Therefore, comprehensive understanding of diversity interplay between malignant cells niche essential to elucidate mechanisms driving progression develop therapeutic approaches.Herein, we performed single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis on unselected viable from 8 human ICCs adjacent samples transcriptomic landscape intercellular communication network. Additionally, applied negative selection strategy enrich fibroblast populations in 2 other investigate diversity. The results analyses were validated using multiplex immunofluorescence staining, bulk datasets, functional vitro vivo experiments.We sequenced total 56,871 single derived tissues identified diverse tumor, immune, cells.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) is a complex and ever-changing “rogue organ” composed of its own blood supply, lymphatic nervous systems, stroma, immune cells extracellular matrix (ECM). These components, utilizing both benign malignant cells, nurture the harsh, immunosuppressive nutrient-deficient environment necessary for cell growth, proliferation phenotypic flexibility variation. An important aspect TME cellular crosstalk cell-to-ECM communication. This interaction induces release soluble factors responsible evasion ECM remodeling, which further contribute to therapy resistance. Other aspects are presence exosomes contributed by circulating deregulated microRNAs TME-specific metabolic patterns potentiate progression and/or resistance therapy. In addition biochemical signaling, specific characteristics such as hypoxic environment, derangements, abnormal mechanical forces have been implicated in development treatment this review, we will provide an overview microenvironmental composition, structure, features that influence suppression
