Article Abstract
As an in-depth understanding of immunotherapy continues to grow, current anticancer therapy research is increasingly focused on the tumor microenvironment (TME). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in the regulation of genetic information and expression and mediate interactions between tumor cells and components in the TME, such as tumor-associated macrophages (macrophages). Macrophages are abundant in the TME, and their different polarization directions can promote or inhibit tumor growth and progression. By regulating biological behaviors, such as macrophage recruitment, infiltration, and polarization, miRNAs can affect various molecular pathways to regulate tumor progression and treatment response. In this review, we discuss in detail the effects of macrophages on tumors and the multifaceted effects of miRNAs on macrophages. We also discuss the potential clinical applications and prospects of targeted therapy based on miRNAs, novel clinical biomarkers, and drug delivery systems.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide. Despite progress in immunotherapy for cancer treatment, its application and efficacy in ESCC remain limited. Therefore, there is an ongoing need to explore potential molecules and therapeutic strategies related to tumor immunity in ESCC.

The pro-tumor effects of mast cell (MC) in the tumor microenvironment (TME) are becoming increasingly clear. Recently, MC were shown to contribute to tumor malignancy by supporting the migration of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), suggesting a relationship with tumor immunity. In the current study, we aimed to examine the correlation between MC infiltration and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) response for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC).

Background: Low-grade glioma (LGG) is a primary brain tumor with relatively low malignancy. NCOA4 is a key regulator of ferritinophagy-related processes and is involved in the occurrence and development of many cancers. However, the role of NCOA4 in LGG remains poorly understood.

To investigate how PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) affect the left ventricular function in mice with myocardial infarction (MI) and through what mechanisms they exert their effects. In vivo experiments were conducted using 27 female BALB/c mice, which were divided equally into 3 groups. Cardiac function was assessed by ultrasound.

Aberrant sialylated glycosylation in the tumor microenvironment is a novel immune suppression pathway, which has garnered significant attention as a targetable glycoimmune checkpoint for cancer immunotherapy to address the dilemma of existing therapies. However, rational drug design and in-depth mechanistic studies are urgently required for tumor sialic acid to become valuable glycoimmune targets. In this study, we explored the positive correlation of PD-L1 and sialyltransferase expression in clinical colorectal cancer tissues and identified their mutual regulation effects in macrophages.
