Core Tip Exosomal miR-191 is becoming a crucial pathway of how inflammatory signaling works within tumor microenvironment of colorectal cancer. By activating NF-κB, miR-191 can change the tumor microenvironment to make it immunosuppressive and pro-angiogenic, via shifting the polarization into M2 macrophages. Utilizing The Cancer Genomic Atlas data analyzed via tumor immune estimation resource, version 3, NF-κB1 expression correlated positively with M2 macrophage infiltration, whereas NF-κB1 -mutant tumors had lower macrophage infiltration. Elevated M2 infiltration predicted a shorter disease-free duration in the NF-κB1-high sample, indicating a context-dependent prognostic factor and highlighting the miR-191/NF-κB/M2 macrophages axis as a therapeutic target.
