Abstract

The tumor secretome comprises the totality of protein factors secreted by various cell components within the tumor microenvironment, serving as the primary medium for signal transduction between tumor cells and between tumor cells and stromal cells. The deletion or mutation of the p53 gene leads to alterations in cellular secretion characteristics, contributing to the construction of the tumor microenvironment in a cell non-autonomous manner. This review discusses the critical roles of mutant p53 in regulating the tumor secretome to remodel the tumor microenvironment, drive tumor progression, and influence the plasticity of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) as well as the dynamics of tumor immunity by focusing on both secreted protein expression and secretion pathways. The aim is to provide new insights for targeted cancer therapies.
