CAF drives spheroid formation and pleural dissemination in NSCLC

Listed in NCBI GEO

Pleural dissemination in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) refers to the direct spread of cancer cells from the primary tumor site to the extrapulmonary thoracic cavity, where they colonize the pleura.

Description

This study aimed to investigate the impact of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) on the development of pleural dissemination in NSCLC. Through in vitro co-culture and in vivo pleural dissemination models, we identified that CAFs promote cancer cell migration, anchorage-independent growth, adhesion, invasion, and spheroid formation of cancer cells, leading to the development of pleural dissemination.

RNA sequencing analysis revealed that CAFs upregulated the expression of Cellular Communication Network Factor 1 (CCN1), a matricellular protein, in cancer cells.
