TL;DR

This study elucidates the mechanism by which TREM2 inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activity in NSCLC, thereby promoting tumor immune evasion and progression and suggests that TREM2 could serve as a promising target for therapeutic interventions in NSCLC treatment.

Molecular mechanisms by which tumor cell CD73-mediated adenosine signaling drives M2 polarization of macrophages in non-small cell lung cancer

Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved outcomes for a subset of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) limits their efficacy. Polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) toward an M2 phenotype is a key feature of immune escape in N...

The effect and mechanism of TIPE in promoting M2 polarization through DcR3 in the microenvironment of colorectal cancer

Elevated expression of tumor necrosis factor α-induced protein 8 (TIPE) is observed in colorectal cancer (CRC) and is known to regulate decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) expression while promoting M2 polarization of macrophages. However, the precise role of DcR3 in macrophage M2 polarization remains to be elucidated. We employed...

GNAS-AS1 Promotes M2-Like Macrophage Polarization, Contributing to Cervical Cancer Growth, Angiogenesis, and Metastasis Through the miR-518c-5p/FBXO38 Axis and MAPK Signaling.

The tumor microenvironment, particularly M2-polarized tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), plays a critical role in cervical cancer (CC) progression. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as potential regulators of macrophage function. This study aimed to investigate the function and mechanism of the lncRNA GNAS-...

TREM2 blockade reprograms HER2 CAR macrophages toward inflammatory phagocytes in breast cancer models

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are key regulators of the breast tumor microenvironment and often display immunosuppressive functions that limit cellular immunotherapy efficacy. Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) has emerged as a modulator of myeloid cell activity and a potential target to e...

The CCL2-CCR2 axis in primary lung cancer and pulmonary metastasis: from molecular mechanisms to therapeutic potentials

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with metastasis, therapeutic resistance, and an immunosuppressive TME representing major barriers to successful treatment. Among the chemokine signaling networks implicated in these processes, the CCL2–CCR2 axis has emerged as an important reg...
