Fibroblast heterogeneity in tumor micro-environment: Role in immunosuppression and new therapies
Open accessAbstract
In tumors, Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) constitute the most prominent component of the tumor microenvironment (TME). CAFs are heterogeneous and composed of different CAF subsets exerting distinct functions in tumors. Specific CAF subpopulations actively influence various aspects of tumor growth, including cancer cell survival and proliferation, angiogenesis, extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling, metastatic spread and chemoresistance. During the past decade, some CAF subsets have also been shown to modulate anti-tumor immune response. Indeed, they can increase the content in regulatory T lymphocytes and inhibit the activity of effector and cytotoxic immune cells. These functions are mainly controlled by their constitutive secretion of cytokines, chemokines, growth factors and ECM proteins, either directly in the surrounding extracellular space or through micro-vesicles. Some CAFs also express key regulators of immune checkpoints. The different roles played by CAFs, both as immunosuppressor or as physical support for tumor cell progression, set them as promising targets for anti-tumor therapies. In this review, we describe the main current knowledge on CAFs heterogeneity and immunosuppressive microenvironment, as well as their potential therapeutic implications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
