The mechanisms of mechanical cues-induced cancer cell behavior in tumor microenvironment. Mechanical cues induced cancer cell growth, invasion, migration and metastasis in multiple signaling pathways. Cancer-associated fibroblasts engage in ECM remodeling process, which trigger cancer cell migration and dissemination. ECF extracellular fluid, ECM extracellular matrix, EMT epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, HDAC6 histone deacetylase 6, NHE1 Na+/H+ exchanger 1, TRPV4 transient receptor potential vanilloid 4.
