Inflammatory cell-derived CXCL3 promotes pancreatic cancer metastasis through a novel myofibroblast-hijacked cancer escape mechanism

Xiaoting Sun et al.

Summary: The study found that IL-33 and CXCL3 are elevated in PDAC patients, correlated with tumor inflammation and poor survival rates. The IL-33-ST2-MYC pathway regulates the high production of CXCL3. Activation of CXCR2 by CXCL3 induces a CAF-to-myoCAF transition, promoting PDAC metastasis.

A multi-cellular molecular signaling and functional network map of C-C motif chemokine ligand 18 (CCL18): a chemokine with immunosuppressive and pro-tumor functions

Anjana Aravind et al.

Summary: CCL18 plays a crucial role in immunomodulation and cancer progression in various cancers, with a strong correlation to tumor-associated macrophages and primarily binding to the PITPNM3 receptor. Investigating the signaling events induced by CCL18 can potentially lead to therapeutic applications.

Promotion of cholangiocarcinoma growth by diverse cancer-associated fibroblast subpopulations

Silvia Affo et al.

Summary: The study reveals that hepatic stellate cells (HSC) are the main source of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAF), and HSC-derived CAF interact predominantly with tumor cells. In mouse models, CAF promote the progression of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), while in patients, a high pan-CAF signature is associated with decreased survival and increased recurrence. Single-cell RNA sequencing segregates CAF into distinct subpopulations, with different interactions with tumor cells and promoting ICC growth.

IL-6 promotes drug resistance through formation of polyploid giant cancer cells and stromal fibroblast reprogramming

Na Niu et al.

Summary: The research revealed that IL-6 plays a crucial role in the formation and transformation of PGCCs into CAFs, and blocking IL-6 can attenuate tumor growth and inhibit drug resistance.

Decoding myofibroblast origins in human kidney fibrosis

Christoph Kuppe et al.

Summary: Using single-cell RNA sequencing, researchers profiled the transcriptomes of healthy and fibrotic human kidneys, identifying distinct subpopulations of pericytes and fibroblasts as the main sources of scar-forming myofibroblasts during kidney fibrosis. This study shed light on the cellular origins and differentiation of myofibroblasts in human kidney fibrosis, identifying potential therapeutic targets such as NKD2.
