Tumor associated macrophages (TAMs), as an important immune cell group in tumor microenvironment. TAMs are able to promote the growth, proliferation, invasion and metastasis of cancer cells, and regulate the function of immune cells, stimulate generation of cancer stem cells and mediate drug resistance of cancer cells by releasing various cytokines, growth factors and chemokines. According to different activation states and functions, macrophages can be polarized into M1 and M2 phenotypes under different tumor microenvironmental conditions and induced by specific cytokines. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a malignant tumor originating in the liver, HCC has a trait in high recurrence and metastasis. HCC is a disease that seriously endangers human life and health due to the low survival rate. This review comprehensively analyzed the influence of TAMs on the occurrence and development of HCC, and regulation of signaling pathway tansduction in cancer cells mediated by TAMs, explore a new therapeutic strategy for therapeutic of HCC by targeting TAMs.
