Cancer-associated fibroblasts conduct an aberrant wound-healing response, including mechanisms that restrain and others that support tumor progression. In this issue of , Francescone and colleagues demonstrate expression of presynaptic protein NetG1 on fibroblasts in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and characterize tumor-supportive functions of NetG1 in this context, including metabolic and immune-modulatory mechanisms..
肿瘤相关成纤维细胞表现出异常的创伤愈合反应,包括抑制和促进肿瘤进展的机制。在这一期的《 》中,Francescone 及其同事证明了突触前蛋白 NetG1 在胰腺导管腺癌中成纤维细胞中的表达,并描述了 NetG1 在这种情况下的肿瘤支持功能,包括代谢和免疫调节机制。
