Hypoxia is a common phenomenon in solid tumors as the poorly organized tumor vasculature cannot fulfill increasing oxygen demand of rapidly expanding tumors. Under hypoxia, cells reshape their microenvironment to sustain survival, promote metastasis, and develop resistance therapy. Exosomes are extracellular vesicles secreted by most eukaryotic cells, including cells. They enriched with selective collection nucleic acids proteins from originating mediate cell-to-cell communication. Accumulating evidence suggests that exosomes derived play critical roles modulating (TME). known stimulate secretion thereby promoting intercellular communication hypoxic surrounding stromal tissues. Exosome-mediated signaling pathways under conditions have been reported cause angiogenesis, invasion, drug resistance, immune escape. Recently, programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) has reside transmembrane protein exosomes. Exosomal PD-L1 was shown suppress T effector function TME checkpoint This review provides an update about pivotal role tumor-derived chemotherapy immunotherapy, particularly conditions. Emerging strategies target enhance antitumor efficacy discussed.

Abstract Solid tumors often grow in a micro-environment characterized by < 2% O 2 tension. This condition, together with the aberrant activation of specific oncogenic patwhays, increases amount and activity hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), transcription factor that controls up to 200 genes involved neoangiogenesis, metabolic rewiring, invasion drug resistance. Hypoxia also induces endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, condition triggers cell death, if cells are irreversibly damaged, or survival, stress is mild. chronic ER both induce chemoresistance. In this review we discuss multiple interconnected circuitries link hypoxic environment, We suggest hypoxia train select more adapted survive unfavorable conditions, activating pleiotropic mechanisms including apoptosis inhibition, anti-oxidant defences, drugs efflux. adaptative process unequivocally expands clones acquire resistance chemotherapy. believe pharmacological inhibitors HIF-1α modulators although low specificty anti-cancer efficacy when used as single agents, may be repurposed chemosensitizers against chemorefractory next future.

Abstract Cancer treatment faces many hurdles and resistance is one among them. Anti-cancer strategies are evolving due to innate acquired capacity, governed by genetic, epigenetic, proteomic, metabolic, or microenvironmental cues that ultimately enable selected cancer cells survive progress under unfavorable conditions. Although the mechanism of drug being widely studied generate new target-based drugs with better potency than existing ones. However, broader flexibility in resistance, advanced therapeutic options efficacy need be explored. Combination therapy an alternative a success rate though risk amplified side effects commonplace. Moreover, recent groundbreaking precision immune ways overcome has revolutionized anticancer greater extent only limitation individual-specific needs further attention. This review will focus on challenges opted withstand current therapies at molecular level also highlights emerging -like immunological, stem cell-based may prove have potential challenge problem resistance.

Abstract Dysregulating cellular metabolism is one of the emerging cancer hallmarks. Mitochondria are essential organelles responsible for numerous physiologic processes, such as energy production, metabolism, apoptosis, and calcium redox homeostasis. Although “Warburg effect,” in which cells prefer aerobic glycolysis even under normal oxygen circumstances, was proposed a century ago, how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to progression still unclear. This review discusses recent progress alterations DNA (mtDNA) dynamics malignant progression. Moreover, we integrate possible regulatory mechanism dysfunction–mediated retrograde signaling pathways, including mitochondrion-derived molecules (reactive species, calcium, oncometabolites, mtDNA) stress response pathways (mitochondrial unfolded protein integrated response) provide therapeutic targets. Furthermore, discuss findings on role mitochondria immune function reveal impact tumor microenvironment remodeling immunity. Targeting might improve immunotherapy. These suggest that targeting malignancy modulating immunity be promising treatment strategies patients precise personalized medicine against cancer.

The lung tumor microenvironment is composed of various cell types, including cancer cells, stromal and immune as well extracellular matrix (ECM). These cells surrounding ECM create a stiff, hypoxic, acidic, immunosuppressive that can augment the resistance tumors to different forms death facilitate invasion metastasis.
