Immunol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a small subset within the tumor mass significantly contributing to cancer progression through dysregulation of various oncogenic pathways, driving tumor growth, chemoresistance and metastasis formation. The aggressive behavior of CSCs is guided by several intracellular signaling pathways such as WNT, NF-kappa-B, NOTCH, Hedgehog, JAK-STAT, PI3K\/AKT1\/MTOR, TGF\/SMAD, PPAR and MAPK kinases, as well as extracellular vesicles such as exosomes, and extracellular signaling molecules such as cytokines, chemokines, pro-angiogenetic and growth factors, which finely regulate CSC phenotype. In this scenario, tumor microenvironment (TME) is a key player in the establishment of a permissive tumor niche, where CSCs engage in intricate communications with diverse immune cells. The \u201concogenic\u201d immune cells are mainly represented by B and T lymphocytes, NK cells, and dendritic cells. Among immune cells, macrophages exhibit a more plastic and adaptable phenotype due to their different subpopulations, which are characterized by both immunosuppressive and inflammatory phenotypes. Specifically, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) create an immunosuppressive milieu through the production of a plethora of paracrine factors (IL-6, IL-12, TNF-alpha, TGF-beta, CCL1, CCL18) promoting the acquisition by CSCs of a stem-like, invasive and metastatic phenotype. TAMs have demonstrated the ability to communicate with CSCs via direct ligand\/receptor (such as CD90\/CD11b, LSECtin\/BTN3A3, EPHA4\/Ephrin) interaction. On the other hand, CSCs exhibited their capacity to influence immune cells, creating a favorable microenvironment for cancer progression. Interestingly, the bidirectional influence of CSCs and TME leads to an epigenetic reprogramming which sustains malignant transformation. Nowadays, the integration of biological and computational data obtained by cutting-edge technologies (single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, trajectory analysis) has significantly improved the comprehension of the biunivocal multicellular dialogue, providing a comprehensive view of the heterogeneity and dynamics of CSCs, and uncovering alternative mechanisms of immune evasion and therapeutic resistance. Moreover, the combination of biology and computational data will lead to the development of innovative target therapies dampening CSC-TME interaction. Here, we aim to elucidate the most recent insights on CSCs biology and their complex interactions with TME immune cells, specifically TAMs, tracing an exhaustive scenario from the primary tumor to metastasis formation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2025.1529847","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,6]],"date-time":"2025-02-06T07:14:00Z","timestamp":1738826040000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Cancer
