Glucocorticoids-GRs signal inhibits low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein-1 (LRP1) expression in tumor-associated macrophages, and increases signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) expression in macrophages, leading to an imbalance in the LRP1/SIRPα axis, which inhibits the phagocytosis of tumor cells by macrophages (Fig. 3C) [107]. Here, LRP1 is linked to neoplasm.
