Tumor microenvironment (TME) consists of a complex network of tumor cells, infiltrating and resident host cells (immune and inflammatory cell, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts,etc), the blood and lymphatic vascular network,extracellular matrix (ECM), secreted factors(cytokines, chemokines,etc), the metabolites and microvesicles (exosomes,etc).
Hypoxia and Angiogensis represent an important cellular player in the tumor microenvironment. Cancer cells are frequently surrounded by hypoxic microenvironment and, to survive, they have evolved multiple adaptations. One of the hallmark adaptations for cancer cells is the rewired metabolism, which is so-called tumor metabolic reprogramming, resulting in neoangiogenesis, metastasis, and immune evasion. Several hypoxia-responsive molecular determinants, such as hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), guide the cellular adaptation to hypoxia by gene activation. HIFs promotes vessel growth by upregulating multiple pro-angiogenic factors such as growth factors, cytokines, chemokines and ECM remodeling MMPs that mediate key aspects of endothelial, stromal, and vascular support cell biology.
