摘要:

癌相关成纤维细胞(cancer-associated fibroblasts,CAFs)是肿瘤微环境中不可或缺的组成部分。近年来众多研究表明,CAFs与乳腺癌的发生、发展密切相关,并且与乳腺癌的恶性生物学行为以及不良预后存在关联,但对其在乳腺癌细胞生长、侵袭、转移及预后关系的阐述不够全面。在乳腺癌中,CAFs受肿瘤调控,同时其也通过释放细胞因子、外泌体等方式对免疫微环境调节、细胞外基质重塑、免疫细胞功能抑制等生物学过程产生影响,从而促进肿瘤的发生、迁移、侵袭和耐药等过程。阐述了CAFs在乳腺癌细胞生长、侵袭、转移过程中的作用及与患者预后关系,有助于深入理解乳腺癌的发病机制,以期为乳腺癌的诊断、治疗和预后评估提供理论依据。

Abstract:

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an integral component of the tumor microenvironment. Recent studies have established a close association between CAFs and the development, malignant progression, and poor prognosis of breast cancer. However, a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between CAFs and breast cancer cell growth, invasion, metastasis, and prognosis remains incomplete. In breast cancer, CAFs are regulated by tumor cells. Conversely, CAFs significantly influence tumor behavior by secreting cytokines and exosomes, which modulate the immune microenvironment, remodel the extracellular matrix, and suppress immune cell function. These actions collectively promote tumor initiation, migration, invasion, and drug resistance. This review summarized the role of CAFs in breast cancer cell growth, invasion, and metastasis, as well as their association with patient prognosis. This synthesis aimed to deepen the understanding of breast cancer pathogenesis and provide a theoretical basis for its diagnosis, treatment, and prognostic assessment.

Key words: breast cancer, cancer-associated fibroblasts, tumor microenvironment
