Tumor-associated macrophages/C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 promotes breast cancer autophagy-mediated chemoresistance via IGF1R/STAT3/HMGB1 signaling.

ABSTRACT: Autophagy-mediated chemoresistance is the core mechanism for therapeutic failure and poor prognosis in breast cancer. Breast cancer chemotherapy resistance is believed to be influenced by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), by which C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CXCL1) is the most abundant cytokine secreted. Yet, its role in mediating autophagy-related chemoresistance is still unknown. This study aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms by which TAMs/CXCL1 induced autophagy-mediated chemoresistance in breast cancer. It was found that TAMs/CXCL1 promoted chemoresistance of breast cancer cells through autophagy activation in vitro, and CXCL1 silence could enhance the chemosensitivity of paclitaxel-resistant breast cancer cells via autophagy inhibition.
