Human Colorectal Tumor Carcinoma Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) are primary cells isolated from human colon tumor tissues. These cells exhibit spindle-shaped morphology and adherent culture properties. Functionally, they actively remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM) and secrete factors like HGF and IL-6, influencing tumor growth, angiogenesis, and chemoresistance. Markers like α-SMA, FAP, and vimentin are commonly used for characterization. This CAF model provides a physiologically relevant tool for studying tumor-stroma interactions.

Leveraging our Human Colorectal Tumor Carcinoma Associated Fibroblasts (CAFs), researchers established a 3D interpenetrating network hydrogel culture system. This innovative platform facilitated modulation of the tumor microenvironment’s mechanical attributes, enabling an in-depth exploration of CAF phenotype transitions and interactions with colorectal cancer cells. Manipulating mechanical properties revealed conditions correlating with patient survival or decline, offering novel insights with potential implications for future cancer therapies.
