Modulation of the tumour promoting functions of cancer associated fibroblasts by phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibition increases the efficacy of chemotherapy in human preclinical models of esophageal adenocarcinoma
2020-04-23
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background and aims</h4> Esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is chemoresistant in the majority of cases. The tumor-promoting biology of cancer associated fibroblasts (CAF) make them a target for novel therapies. Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5i) have been shown to regulate the activated fibroblast phenotype in benign disease. We investigated the potential for CAF modulation in EAC using PDE5i to enhance...
