Colon cancer persists as a major global health burden due to therapy resistance and metastasis, with tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the microenvironment driving progression through immune evasion and angiogenesis. This review highlights plant-derived therapeutics targeting TAMs to disrupt protumor signaling. Key phytochemicals (e.g., Curcumin, Cucurbitacin B, Astragaloside IV) suppress M2 polarization via NF-κB/STAT3 inhibition, block VEGF/HIF-1α-mediated angiogenesis, and enhance antitumor immunity by downregulating PD-L1. Cannabidiol, Hydroxygenkwanin regulate TAM metabolism. Dietary agents like sulforaphane and β-glucans modulate TAM-gut microbiome crosstalk. Nanoparticle-encapsulated phytochemicals enhance TAM-targeted delivery, while clinical translation requires standardized phytopreparations and biomarker-guided trials. We propose integrating validated botanical adjuvants (e.g., Fucoidan for TLR4 inhibition, dihydroisotanshinone I for CCL2 suppression) with immunotherapies to remodel immunosuppressive niches. Phytotherapy offers a multifaceted strategy to overcome TAM-driven therapeutic barriers in colon cancer, emphasizing plant-based precision medicine to augment conventional treatments.
由于治疗耐药性和转移,结肠癌仍然是全球主要的健康负担,微环境中的肿瘤相关巨噬细胞(TAM)通过免疫逃避和血管生成推动疾病进展。本综述重点介绍了针对TAM以破坏促肿瘤信号传导的植物源疗法。关键植物化学物质(如姜黄素、葫芦素B、黄芪甲苷IV)通过抑制NF-κB/STAT3抑制M2极化,阻断VEGF/HIF-1α介导的血管生成,并通过下调PD-L1增强抗肿瘤免疫力。大麻二酚、羟基芫花素调节TAM代谢。萝卜硫素和β-葡聚糖等膳食剂可调节TAM与肠道微生物群的相互作用。纳米颗粒包裹的植物化学物质可增强TAM靶向递送,而临床转化需要标准化的植物制剂和生物标志物指导的试验。我们建议将经过验证的植物佐剂(如用于抑制TLR4的岩藻依聚糖、用于抑制CCL2的二氢异丹参酮I)与免疫疗法相结合,以重塑免疫抑制微环境。植物疗法提供了一种多方面的策略来克服TAM驱动的结肠癌治疗障碍,强调基于植物的精准医学以增强传统治疗。
