Contributing to these inconsistencies are tumor growth's dynamic nature, compensatory mechanisms, CAF production by healthy cells, and PK variability.
We characterized dynamic changes in plasma concentrations of VEGF, PlGF, and sVEGFR-2 over time in non-tumor-bearing mice receiving sunitinib as reported by Ebos et al. In non-tumor-bearing mice, the tumor contribution toward CAF production was set to zero and Ksyn X (tm) = 0) in Eqs.
The host-driven CAF production rate (Ksyn X (h)) was expressed as a secondary parameter as: To characterize tumor contribution to total CAF, dynamic tumor size changes following anti-VEGF therapy must be linked to VEGF turnover: VEGF production changes as a function of tumor weight.

During carcinogenesis, CAFs exhibit increased production and deposition of ECM components such as collagens, and are phenotypically distinguished from normal fibroblasts with enhanced expression of two CAF markers including α smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and fibroblast activation protein (FAP) (Schauer et al., 2011).
In addition, we see that oxidative stress in CAFs induces cytokine production via NFκB activation, directly linking inflammation with autophagy/catabolism in the tumor stroma [ 99].
This suggests the existence of a common mechanism underlying the regulation of CAFs in different cancers, which is further supported by the enhancement of IL-6 production by CAFs demonstrated in the present study and in other reports.
Taken together, these results suggest that miR-149 targets IL-6 mRNA and inhibits IL-6 production in CAFs.
In the present study, TAM and G1 increased both CYP19A1 mRNA and E2 production in CAFs, and this effect was dependent on GPER/EGFR/ERK pathway signaling.
Importantly, treatment with SOM230 abrogated IL-6 production by CAFs (Fig 6B– C), whereas no effect was observed on IL-6 mRNA levels (Supplementary Fig S11C), suggesting an effect at the translational level.
In this report, we demonstrated that AR in CAFs could modulate cytokines/chemokines production to affect the immune cells recruitment.
Furthermore, TGF β signaling is needed for CAF activation in PCa and production of chemokines, such as CXCL13, that recruit pro-tumoral B lymphocytes (Ammirante et al, manuscript in preparation).

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
