Lactate secreted by esophageal cancer cells induces M2 macrophage polarization via the AKT/ERK pathway

Abstract Background Elevated lactate results in an acidic tumor microenvironment (TME), which stimulates the progression of esophageal cancer (EC). Tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) are an essential component of the TME. However, the regulatory mechanisms of lactate secreted by EC on TAMs and the...
