Implication

This review demonstrates how fibroblasts and extracellular matrix interactions influence immune response in lung cancer, suggesting important implications for treatment.

Key Points

To explore how interactions between cancer-associated fibroblasts and the extracellular matrix influence immune exclusion in lung cancer.
Comprehensive review of various models including single-cell profiling, live imaging, and organoid models.
Analysis of spatial and structural changes in the tumor microenvironment.
Evaluation of potential therapeutic strategies targeting CAF reprogramming.
Fibroblast-driven matrix remodeling promotes immune suppression, reducing lymphocyte infiltration into tumor nests.
Structural changes in the extracellular matrix correlate with resistance to immune checkpoint therapies.
Therapeutic strategies focusing on modifying CAF behavior may improve treatment outcomes over general fibroblast depletion.
