Furthermore, our combined findings suggest that the upregulation of STAT3/NF-κB pathways crosstalk mediated by immunosuppressive cytokines, such as IL-10/PD-L1/TGF-β, via M2-TAMs in the TME, leads to immunosuppression and epithelial-mesenchymal-transition of the colorectal cancer for stimulating Vimentin, CXCL12 and CD163 in the primary tumours. This evidence concerns the gene STAT3 and neoplasm.
