Abstract:
What's new? microRNAs play a central role in the complex signaling network of cancer cells with the tumor microenvironment. However, little is known on the origin of circulating miRNAs and their mechanisms of action. This study found a multifactorial and non‐epithelial cell‐autonomous origin of circulating miRNAs associated with lung cancer risk. The findings also suggest a link between an immunosuppressive and pro‐tumorigenic microenvironment and modulation of circulating miRNAs associated with lung cancer risk. The authors propose a novel mechanism whereby miRNA released by neutrophils induce macrophage polarization to support lung cancer growth, highlighting the potential for reprogramming macrophages toward an anti‐tumor polarization.
