| Summary: | Abstract At present, there is still a lack of effective treatment strategies for cancer metastasis and drug resistance, so finding effective biomarkers is particularly important. AnnexinA2 (ANXA2), a vital membrane protein, critically influences cancer progression, tumor invasion, and tumor microenvironment modulation. To assess the possible application of ANXA2 as a therapeutic target against cancer cell metastasis and drug resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs in the tumor microenvironment, we elucidated the functionality of ANXA2 in stromal cells, angiogenic vascular cells, and infiltrated immune cells that mediate metastasis and drug resistance, as well as its potential as a therapeutic target. ANXA2 shows a high expression level in many tissues, and its expression level is even higher in several tumors and their microenvironments. ANXA2 is a crucial regulator of many factors and may serve as a target against drug-resistant cancers. |
