FOXP3 and neoplasm: Givel et al. (2018) found that CAFs increase the infiltration of FOXP3+ regulatory T lymphocytes (Tregs) at the tumor site, which exerts immune suppression effect in the tumor milieu. Additionally, in Orimo’s research, CAFs have high expression of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1). Released SDF-1 promotes angiogenesis and tumor proliferation in a paracrine fashion (Orimo et al., 2005).
