Differences between CAFs and their paired NCF from adjacent colonic mucosa reveal functional heterogeneity of CAFs, providing prognostic information
6 May 2014
Abstract excerpt
Little is known about the difference in gene expression between carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and paired normal colonic fibroblasts (NCFs) in colorectal cancer. Paired CAFs and NCFs were isolated from eight primary human colorectal carcinoma specimens. In culture conditions, soluble factors secreted by CAFs in the conditioned media increased clonogenicity and migration of epithelial cancer cells lines...
