Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are essential for cancer hallmarks. While CAFs are molecularly heterogeneous, a CXCL14-expressing subset has been a critical player in the cancer context. In breast cancer, an autocrine fibroblast CXCL14/ACKR2 axis mediates epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and endows metastatic traits, which offers novel therapeutic potential in the clinical setting..
癌症相关成纤维细胞 (CAF) 是癌症特征的关键。虽然 CAF 在分子上具有异质性，但表达 CXCL14 的亚群在癌症环境中一直是关键参与者。在乳腺癌中，自分泌成纤维细胞 CXCL14/ACKR2 轴介导上皮间质转化并赋予转移特性，这为临床提供了新的治疗潜力。
