The tumor microenvironment (TME) is integral to cancer progression, impacting metastasis and treatment response. It consists of diverse cell types, extracellular matrix components, signaling molecules that interact promote growth therapeutic resistance. Elucidating the intricate interactions between cells TME crucial in understanding progression challenges. A critical process induced by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), wherein epithelial acquire mesenchymal traits, which enhance their motility invasiveness progression. By targeting various components TME, novel investigational strategies aim disrupt TME's contribution EMT, thereby improving efficacy, addressing resistance, offering a nuanced approach therapy. This review scrutinizes key players emphasizing avenues therapeutically components. Moreover, article discusses implications for resistance mechanisms highlights current toward modulation along with potential caveats.

Cancer-associated fibroblast (CAF) cells play an important role in gastric malignancy. MiRNA dysregulation has been detected CAF cells, which is related to the tumor progression ability of these cells. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate function miRNA34a carcinoma. We transiently transfected miRNA-34a mimic and examined effect overexpressed miRNA on PD-L1 expression using real-time PCR. Next, we evaluated CAF-conditioned medium (CM) immune response viability cancer cell lines. have shown that significantly reduced (p < 0.05). However, conditioned had no significant response. also found CM suppressed line relative control group (P indicated can reduce proliferation. Additionally, may improve via reduction. Thus, could be a potential therapeutic agent treatment. Not applicable.

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits a complex tumor microenvironment with significant cellular heterogeneity, particularly involving cancer‐associated fibroblasts that influence behavior and metastasis. This study integrated single‐cell RNA sequencing spatial transcriptomics to dissect fibroblast heterogeneity in CRC. Data processing employed Seurat for quality control, principal component analysis dimensionality reduction, t‐Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding visualization. Differentially expressed genes were identified using DESeq2. Immune infiltration was assessed via Single‐Sample Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, CIBERSORT, xCell algorithms. Prognostic through univariate Cox regression, followed by consensus clustering survival analysis. Metabolic pathways explored scMetabolism. Experimental validation involved CCK8, scratch, Transwell assays evaluate the roles of key BGN CERCAM CRC cell proliferation Machine learning‐driven four fibroblast‐associated (TRIP6, TIMP1, BGN, CERCAM) demonstrating prognostic relevance Consensus based on these biomarkers stratified patients into three distinct molecular subtypes (Clusters A–C). Notably, Cluster C exhibited most unfavorable clinical outcomes coupled marked upregulation all fibroblast‐related genes. Comprehensive immune profiling revealed paradoxical features C: heightened global activation (characterized substantial leukocyte infiltration) coexisted specific immunosuppressive elements, including enrichment pro‐tumorigenic M0 macrophages, depletion anti‐tumor plasma cells, resting memory CD4+ T along coordinated multiple checkpoint molecules. Computational prediction TIDE platform suggested enhanced immunotherapy responsiveness patients. Functional demonstrated knockdown or significantly impaired malignant phenotypes, reducing proliferative capacity, migration potential, invasive ability. Fibroblasts demonstrate within microenvironment, impacting prognosis therapeutic responses. Key emerge as potential immunotherapeutic targets, offering new strategies precision treatment

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a key role in regulating gene expression within the tumor microenvironment, influencing cancer progression and therapy response. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) contribute to development by secreting exosomal miRNAs that promote proliferation, invasion, resistance. This systematic review evaluates impact of CAF-derived on head neck malignancies. A search was conducted PubMed, Scopus, WOS, Google Scholar following PRISMA guidelines. Studies focusing cancers were included. Data extraction covered study characteristics, miRNA profiling methods, functional roles, clinical significance. The Scirap tool used for quality assessment. Among 921 identified articles, 21 met inclusion criteria. Findings indicate miR-21-5p, miR-106-5p, miR-196a drive oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), while miR-124 miR-34a-5p act as suppressors. In esophageal (ESCC), miR-21 miR-27a/b chemotherapy resistance, whereas miR-100-5p inhibits lymphangiogenesis. (HNSCC), miR-196b may serve diagnostic biomarkers. Exosomal miR-106a-5p promotes nasopharyngeal (NPC) metastasis, miR-7 resistance (HNC). significantly influence progression, These findings highlight their potential biomarkers therapeutic targets, warranting further research personalized treatment strategies.
