Abstract excerpt
Immunotherapy has limited response rates in colorectal cancer (CRC) due to an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Combining transcriptome sequencing, clinical specimens, and functional experiments, we identified a unique group of CAF subpopulations (COX4I2 + ) with inhibited mitochondrial respiration and enhanced glycolysis. Through bioinformatics predictions and luciferase reporter assays, we...
