Enhancer reprogramming promotes the activation of cancer-associated fibroblasts and breast cancer metastasis

Abstract excerpt

Rationale: Cancer associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a subpopulation of cells within the tumor microenvironment that usually promote cancer progression and metastasis. Hence it is critical to find out the driving factors and mechanisms for the development of CAFs from normal fibroblasts (NFs) in response to sustained stimulation of cancer cells. Here we perform transcriptomic and epigenomic analyses in paired NFs...
