Published: June 2021

Tumor DDR1 acts as a key factor during the desmoplastic response surrounding hepatic colorectal metastasis. Hepatic sinusoidal cell-derived soluble factors stimulate tumor DDR1 activation. DDR1 modulates matrix remodeling to promote metastasis in the liver through the interaction with hepatic stromal cells, specifically liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and hepatic stellate cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Immune checkpoint therapies have revolutionized cancer treatment but face challenges like low response rates and drug resistance, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the tumor microenvironment (TME).
  • Recent studies show that biomechanical forces within the TME significantly impact immune responses and tumor progression, indicating that manipulating these forces could enhance immune activation against tumors.
  • The review discusses key biomechanical mechanisms, the role of the extracellular matrix, and potential clinical applications, aiming to provide insights for discovering new therapeutic targets.

Background: Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD) is a deadly cancer marked by extensive collagen deposition and limited response to immunotherapy. Discoidin domain receptor1 (DDR1), part of the transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase family, is linked to inflammation regulation and immune cell infiltration. However, its role in controlling cytokines and chemokines in the microenvironment of PAAD is still unclear.

Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase superfamily, which mainly activates downstream signaling pathways through binding to collagen. The abnormal expression of DDR1 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various tumors, and it is one of the potential targets for molecular targeted therapy. At present, specific antibodies and selective small molecule inhibitors against DDR1 have been approved for Phase I clinical trials.

Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer. Some patients eventually develop recurrent or metastatic diseases and treatment options are extremely limited. Discoidin domain receptor 1 (DDR1) is a unique collagen-activated tyrosine kinase that participates in various human diseases, including cancer.

Breast cancer is the predominant malignancy with the majority of cases are characterized as HR+/HER2-subtype. Although cyclin-dependent kinase 4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) have shown remarkable efficacy in treating this subtype when combined with endocrine therapy, the development of resistance to these inhibitors remains a significant clinical obstacle. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore innovative therapies and decipher the underlying mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6i.
