The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis in breast cancer-associated fibroblasts: a transcriptome analysis and systematic literature review

Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) represent a pivotal component of the breast cancer microenvironment. In a paracrine model, CAFs secreted the chemokine CXCL12 (SDF-1α), which bound to CXCR4 and activated the PI3K/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways, stimulating their migration and invasion. TGF-β1 induces myofibrob...

Cancer-associated fibroblasts-derived CAV1 promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness in bladder cancer through activation of the LIF/STAT3 signaling pathway.

CAV1 is identified as a fibroblast-associated gene linked to stemness- and ferroptosis-related signatures and promoting bladder cancer progression by activating the LIF-STAT3 signaling axis.

Abstract B001: Cancer-associated fibroblast p38α MAPK signaling coordinates collagen architecture and immune suppression to drive chemoresistance in pancreatic cancer

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains highly refractory to chemoimmunotherapy due in large part to its dense, immunosuppressive stroma. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), the dominant stromal cell population, promote tumor progression through inflammatory signaling, aligned collagen-rich extracellula...

NCAPD3 induces M2 polarization of peripheral macrophages in lung adenocarcinoma by promoting the binding of E2F1 to the FOXM1 promoter region.

Serving as a highly prevalent malignant tumor, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is frequently associated with the establishment of an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment during its initiation and progression, where M2-polarized macrophages exert pivotal effects. NCAPD3 acts as an oncogenic driver in multiple tumors; how...
