Cancer-associated Fibroblasts Promote Irradiated Cancer Cell Recovery Through Autophagy
23 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
Tumor relapse after radiotherapy is a significant challenge to oncologists, even after recent the advances in technologies. Here, we showed that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a major component of cancer stromal cells, promoted irradiated cancer cell recovery and tumor relapse after radiotherapy. We provided evidence that CAFs-produced IGF1/2, CXCL12 and β-hydroxybutyrate were capable of inducing autophagy...
