TGF-β- and IL-1-dependent fibroblast states differentially shape pancreatic cancer microenvironments and metastasis

Priscilla S.W. Cheng, Eloise G. Lloyd, Muntadher Jihad, Marta Zaccaria, Kristen Burgess, Gianluca Mucciolo, Sneha Harish, Weike Luo, Judhell S. Manansala, Wenlong Li, Joaquín Araos Henríquez, Debasmita Mukherjee, Sally Mills, Paul M Johnson, Alejandro Alonso Montero, , Giulia Biffi

This study shows that TGF-β-dependent myCAFs promote pancreatic cancer metastasis, while IL-1-dependent iCAFs do not, through distinct signaling mechanisms.
