肿瘤相关成纤维细胞(CAFs)是肿瘤微环境(TME)中最主要的细胞组分之一,在肿瘤发生、进展中发挥重要作用。微小RNA(miRNAs)参与CAFs的转化与代谢重编程,并可调控CAFs 的干性及其介导的肿瘤细胞增殖、侵袭和化疗耐药等机制,在CAFs 的形成和CAFs 对肿瘤的促进作用中发挥重要功能;而CAFs 释放的miRNAs 可作为肿瘤的诊断、预后及用药选择的参考指标。因此探索miRNAs 在肿瘤细胞与CAFs 相互作用中的功能,揭示其作用机制,对于理解肿瘤的发生和发展具有重要意义;同时也可为新的肿瘤治疗策略提供研究方向。本文将对miRNAs在CAFs的形成及CAFs对肿瘤细胞调控中的作用加以介绍

[Abstract]
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are one of the major cellularcomponents in tumor microenvironment (TME), which play an important role in cancer progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) could participate in the process of CAFs, transformation and metabolism reprogramming, affect the stemness of CAFs, and regulate CAFs-mediated tumor cell proliferation, invasion and chemotherapy resistance; and studies have shown that miRNAs play an important role in CAFs formation and the regulation of CAFs on tumors.The miRNAs released by CAFs can be used as reference indicators for tumor diagnosis, prognosis and drug selection. Thus, exploring the role of miRNAs in the interaction between CAFs and tumor cells and underlining the mechanism, is of great significancefor understanding the occurrence and development of tumors, as well as providing novel strategy for cancer treatment. This review will summarize the role of miRNAs in the formation of CAFs and the regulation of CAFs on tumor cells.
