CAFs derived from Osimertinib-resistant cells secreted more IL-6, IL-8, and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), expressed stronger CAF markers including α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), fibroblast activation protein (FAP) plus platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR), and enhanced stemness and Osimertinib resistance in NSCLC cells. Here, FAP is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
