ABSTRACT
The carcinogenesis and progression of cancer not only depend on the feature of tumor cell themselves, but also rely on the tumor microenvironment (TME). Numerous studies have shown that TME plays a crucial role in tumor progression and drug resistance. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are important stromal cells in TME containing multiple functions, such as remodeling the extracellular matrix, regulating angiogenesis, interacting with adjacent tumor cells, and releasing a variety of molecules (such as cytokines, growth factors and exosomes) to regulate cell proliferation, invasion and metastasis. CAFs exhibit heterogeneity of origin and phenotype, and play dual roles in tumor progression. Recent studies have shown that CAFs are also involved in chemoresistance, suggesting that CAFs themselves and their downstream molecules and signal pathways could be the potential therapeutic target for cancer treatment. In this review, we summarized the role of CAFs in chemoresistance and underlying mechanism, and discussed the potential of targeting CAFs in overcoming drug resistance. However, the exploration of strategy for targeting CAFs is still at an early stage and requires further in-depth research.
