Schematic illustration of possible involvement of the GM-CSF-SPP1 loop in chemoresistance. Anti-cancer agents potentially upregulate GM-CSF secretion from cancer cells. GM-CSF promotes the infiltration of TAMs and a change in TAMs to a protumor phenotype, which in turn induces cancer cell growth and chemoresistance.
