Protocol to establish cancer-associated fibroblasts from surgically resected tissues and generate senescent fibroblasts
Accumulating evidence suggests that the malignant behavior of cancer is influenced by stromal activity in the tumor microenvironment. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are the main component of the cancerous stroma, play an important role in cancer development. Here, we describe a protocol...

Sumario: | Accumulating evidence suggests that the malignant behavior of cancer is influenced by stromal activity in the tumor microenvironment. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), which are the main component of the cancerous stroma, play an important role in cancer development. Here, we describe a protocol to establish CAFs from surgically resected tissues. CAFs could be a vital tool for understanding the microenvironment and its impact on tumor progression and metastasis. Moreover, we generated inflammation-induced senescent fibroblasts that more closely mimic the tumor microenvironment. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Yasuda et al. (2021). |
