Evidence Hence, tumor-promoting fibroblasts are also termed cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). CAFs are characterized by a spindle shape with elongated cytoplasmic processes [7], the expression of markers such as alphasmooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) [7, 8] and upregulation of pro-inflammatory genes such as C-X-C motif chemokine 2 (CXCL2) and interleukin 1 beta (IL-1beta) [9, 10].
