miR200-regulated CXCL12β promotes fibroblast heterogeneity and immunosuppression in ovarian cancers
Abstract
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are an important part of the tumor microenvironment. Here the authors characterize four subsets of CAFs across human samples of ovarian cancer subtypes and show in the mesenchymal subtype a specific CAF-S1 population that attracts immunosuppressive Tregs via CXCL12β.
