Cytokine Interaction With Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts in Esophageal Cancer [PDF]
Esophageal cancer (EC) is a highly aggressive cancer with poor outcomes under current treatment regimens. More recent findings suggest stroma elements, specifically cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), play a role in disease occurrence and progression ...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts connect metastasis-promoting communication in colorectal cancer [PDF]
Colorectal cancer progression and eventually metastasis is directed in many aspects by a circuitous ecosystem consisting of an extracellular matrix scaffold populated by cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), endothelial cells and diverse immune cells ...

Targeting and Reprograming Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts and the Tumor Microenvironment in Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States both in female and male, and is projected to become the second deadliest cancer by 2030. The overall five-year survival rate remains at around 10%.

STC1 expression by cancer-associated fibroblasts drives metastasis of colorectal cancer [PDF]
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor signaling is a major functional determinant of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF). Elevated expression of PDGF receptors on stromal CAFs is associated with metastasis and poor prognosis, but mechanism(s ...

Lysine demethylase 2A expression in cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes breast tumour growth
[[abstract]]Background Our previous study demonstrated that lysine demethylase 2A (KDM2A) enhances stemness in breast cancer cells. This demethylase is also highly expressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs).

Tumour-stroma interaction : cancer-associated fibroblasts as novel targets in anti-cancer therapy?
Stroma cells, together with extracellular matrix components, provide the microenvironment that is pivotal for cancer cell growth, invasion and metastatic progression. Characteristic stroma alterations accompany or even precede the malignant conversion of
