Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is a lethal disease that is usually
diagnosed at late stage with few effective therapies. Despite the rapid progress
on the genomics and proteomics of the neoplastic cells, therapies that targeted
the pancreatic cancer cells proved to be inefficient, which promoted the
researchers to turn their attentions to the microenvironment. Currently, various
studies had proposed the microenvironment to be a contributing factor for PDA and
pervasive researches showed that macrophages within the malignancy correlate with
the malignant phenotype of the disease and were reported to a new therapeutic
target. Generally, the pro-tumoral effects of macrophages can be summarized as
angiogenesis promotion, immunosuppression, matrix remodeling and so on. Hence, a
comprehensive understanding of the biologic behaviors of macrophages and their
critical role in PDA development may provide new directions for the managements
of the lethal disease. In this review, we will summarize the recent advancements
on macrophages as pivotal players in PDA biology and the current knowledge about
anti-macrophages as a novel strategy against cancer, with the expectation that
more efficient therapies will be developed in the near future.
