Mutant p53 cancers reprogram macrophages to tumor supporting macrophages via exosomal miR-1246

摘要

p53 gain of function mutants (mutp53) are involved in the pathogenesis of most human cancers. Here, the authors show that mutp53 regulates the tumor microenvironment by inducing the release of specific exosomes containing miR-1246 that once received by macrophages turns them into tumor supportive macrophages.
