Carcinoma-associated fibroblasts (CAF) are key players in the tumor microenvironment. Here, we characterize four CAF subsets in breast cancer with distinct properties and levels of activation. Two myofibroblastic subsets (CAF-S1, CAF-S4) accumulate differentially in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC). CAF-S1 fibroblasts promote an immunosuppressive environment through a multi-step mechanism. By secreting CXCL12, CAF-S1 attracts CD4CD25 T lymphocytes and retains them by OX40L, PD-L2, and JAM2. Moreover, CAF-S1 increases T lymphocyte survival and promotes their differentiation into CD25FOXP3, through B7H3, CD73, and DPP4. Finally, in contrast to CAF-S4, CAF-S1 enhances the regulatory T cell capacity to inhibit T effector proliferation. These data are consistent with FOXP3+ T lymphocyte accumulation in CAF-S1-enriched TNBC and show how a CAF subset contributes to immunosuppression.
癌相关成纤维细胞(CAF)是肿瘤微环境中的关键参与者。在这里,我们描述了乳腺癌中具有不同特性和激活水平的四种 CAF 亚群。两种肌成纤维细胞亚群(CAF-S1、CAF-S4)在三阴性乳腺癌(TNBC)中差异积累。CAF-S1 成纤维细胞通过多步机制促进免疫抑制环境。通过分泌 CXCL12,CAF-S1 吸引 CD4CD25 T 淋巴细胞,并通过 OX40L、PD-L2 和 JAM2 保留它们。此外,CAF-S1 通过 B7H3、CD73 和 DPP4 增加 T 淋巴细胞的存活并促进其分化为 CD25FOXP3。最后,与 CAF-S4 相比,CAF-S1 增强了调节性 T 细胞抑制 T 效应细胞增殖的能力。这些数据与 CAF-S1 富集的 TNBC 中 FOXP3+T 淋巴细胞的积累一致,并显示了 CAF 亚群如何有助于免疫抑制。
