摘要: 非可控性炎症在肿瘤的发生、发展及恶化中扮演着重要的角色。肿瘤微环境本身也是一个非可控性炎症的微环境,肿瘤细胞在慢性、反复轻微的炎性刺激下,会诱导肿瘤微环境的恶化,进而促进肿瘤的恶性进展。关于肿瘤细胞对其周围细胞的调控机制,越来越多的研究聚焦在肿瘤细胞释放的外泌体的信使功能上。而随着微小核糖核酸( miRNAs)研究的深入,研究者认为miRNAs可以作为信号分子介导细胞之间的通讯。在肿瘤的慢性炎性环境中,肿瘤源性外泌体-miRNAs对周围细胞发挥着重要的调控作用,探索外泌体-miRNAs的形成及作用机制,将为揭示肿瘤微环境中免疫和炎症本质提供依据。

Abstract: Nonresolving inflammation (NRI) plays an important role in the initiation、development and malignant transformation of tumors. The tumor microenvironment is a nonresolving inflammatory microenvironment, which would promote tumor malignant transformation induced by chronic, repeated and faintly inflammatory stimulations. For the regulatory mechanisms of cancer cells to the cells around them, the exosomes functioning as messengers are drawing more and more attentions. Currently, researchers believe that miRNAs can also mediate the cell-cell communications as signal molecules. In the tumor micro-inflammatory environment, the tumor-derived exosomes-miRNAs exhibit critical functional regulation on the adjacent cells. Hence, exploring the formational and functional mechanisms of exosomes-miRNAs would help to unveil the core of immune and inflammation in tumor microenvironment.
