Abstract
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an extremely deadly type of cancer, and the 5-year survival rate remains less than 10%. The tumour microenvironment (TME) affects the occurrence, progression and treatment outcomes of PC. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are essential to regulate PC TME. This review delves into the different roles of miRNAs in the PC TME, including exosome communication, angiogenesis, interactions with cancer-associated fibroblasts, the immunological and neuronal microenvironments and metabolic reprogramming. However, research on the complex regulatory networks and synergistic effects of miRNAs in the TME is still insufficient, and their clinical translation and application face challenges. This review summarised the activities of miRNAs in the PC TME, guiding future research and therapeutic strategies involving miRNAs in PC. Future studies should integrate advanced technologies to decode the spatiotemporal dynamics of miRNA regulation within the TME and develop optimised nanodelivery systems for stable and targeted miRNA delivery, advancing clinical applications in PC treatment.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Medicine (CTM) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to accelerating the translation of preclinical research into clinical applications and fostering communication between basic and clinical scientists. It highlights the clinical potential and application of various fields including biotechnologies, biomaterials, bioengineering, biomarkers, molecular medicine, omics science, bioinformatics, immunology, molecular imaging, drug discovery, regulation, and health policy. With a focus on the bench-to-bedside approach, CTM prioritizes studies and clinical observations that generate hypotheses relevant to patients and diseases, guiding investigations in cellular and molecular medicine. The journal encourages submissions from clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals.
