Exploring molecular and cellular mechanisms of Pre-Metastatic niche in renal cell carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is among the most frequently occurring types of cancer, and its metastasis is a major contributor to its elevated mortality. Before the primary tumor metastasizes to secondary or distant organs, it remodels the microenvironment of these sites, creating a pre-metastatic niche (PMN) conducive to the colonization and growth of metastatic tumors. RCC releases a variety of biomolecules that induce angiogenesis, alter vascular permeability, modulate immune cells to create an immunosuppressive microenvironment, affect extracellular matrix remodeling and metabolic reprogramming, and determine the organotropism of metastasis through different signaling pathways. This review summarizes the principal processes and mechanisms underlying the formation of the premetastatic niche in RCC. Additionally, we emphasize the significance and potential of targeting PMNs for the prevention and treatment of tumor metastasis in future therapeutic approaches. Finally, we summarized the currently potential targeted strategies for detecting and treating PMN in RCC and provide a roadmap for further in-depth studies on PMN in RCC.
