肿瘤相关成纤维细胞(cancer-associated fibroblasts,CAFs)是肿瘤发展和治疗中的关键参与者,它们在肿瘤微环境中扮演着复杂而多样的角色。由于CAFs的细胞来源多样,它们在与肿瘤细胞的动态相互作用中会发生明显的表型和功能转变。这种转变不仅推动了肿瘤的侵袭性和生长能力,还明显影响了肿瘤的治疗效果和患者预后。CAFs通过多种机制影响肿瘤发展,它们通过重塑细胞外基质(extracellular matrix,ECM)改变肿瘤的微环境、分泌外泌体影响肿瘤的生长、促进上皮-间质转化(epithelial-mesenchymal transition,EMT)以增强肿瘤的侵袭性,并通过调节肿瘤免疫微环境(tumor immune microenvironment,TIME)帮助肿瘤细胞逃避免疫系统的监视。这些复杂的机制使CAFs成为肿瘤微环境中的重要调控者。本文总结了CAFs的基本知识及其在肿瘤发展中的复杂作用,并介绍了CAFs作为治疗靶点的潜力。同时详细讨论了4种针对CAFs的治疗策略,直接靶向CAFs、抑制CAFs的激活和功能、靶向CAFs来源的外泌体,以及针对CAFs和TIME的联合免疫治疗。这些策略为开发更有效的肿瘤治疗方法提供了新的方向。
Cancer-associated fibroblasts(CAFs) participate in tumor progression and treatment and play a complex and multifaceted role in tumor microenvironment. Since CAFs originate from various cell types,they may undergo significant phenotypic and functional transformations during dynamic interactions with tumor cells. Such transformations not only promote the aggressiveness and growth capacity of tumors,but also profoundly influence the treatment outcome of tumor and the prognosis of patients. CAFs affect tumor progression through multiple mechanisms; they remodel extracellular matrix(ECM) to modulate tumor microenvironment,secrete exosomes to impact tumor growth,promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition to enhance cancer invasion,and modulate tumor immune microenvironment(TIME) to facilitate immune escape of tumor cells. These complex mechanisms position CAFs as key regulators in tumor microenvironment. This article summarizes the basic knowledge of CAFs and their complex role in tumor development,introduces the potential of CAFs as treatment targets,and discusses four treatment strategies targeting CAFs,i.e.,targeting CAFs directly,inhibiting the activation and function of CAFs,targeting CAF-derived exosomes,and conducting combined immunotherapy targeting CAFs and TIME. These strategies provide new directions for developing more effective tumor therapies.
