Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are a key component of the tumour microenvironment with diverse functions, including matrix deposition and remodelling, extensive reciprocal signalling interactions with cancer cells and crosstalk with infiltrating leukocytes. As such, they are a potential target for optimizing therapeutic strategies against cancer. However, many challenges are present in ongoing attempts to modulate CAFs for therapeutic benefit. These include limitations in our understanding of the origin of CAFs and heterogeneity in CAF function, with it being desirable to retain some antitumorigenic functions. On the basis of a meeting of experts in the field of CAF biology, we summarize in this Consensus Statement our current knowledge and present a framework for advancing our understanding of this critical cell type within the tumour microenvironment.

增进我们对癌症相关成纤维细胞的理解的框架。



癌症相关成纤维细胞(CAF)是肿瘤微环境的关键组成部分,具有多种功能,包括基质沉积和重塑、与癌细胞广泛的相互信号相互作用以及与浸润白细胞的串扰。因此,它们是优化癌症治疗策略的潜在目标。然而,在持续尝试调节 CAF 以获得治疗益处时,存在许多挑战。这些包括我们对 CAF 起源的理解的局限性和 CAF 功能的异质性,需要保留一些抗肿瘤功能。在 CAF 生物学领域专家会议的基础上,我们在这份共识声明中总结了我们目前的知识,并提出了一个框架,以加深我们对肿瘤微环境中这种关键细胞类型的理解。
