Gamma smooth muscle actin as a new potential marker of cancer-associated fibroblasts.
Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) represent an important component of the cancer ecosystem, influencing the broad scale of biological properties of tumour cells, including the capacity for metastasis formation. An important CAF subpopulation, known as myCAFs, typically expresses α-smooth muscle actin. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated that activated fibroblasts isolated from various pathological tissues also express the ACTG2 gene encoding γ-smooth muscle actin. This was further validated by immunocytochemistry. Using the scratch test in vitro, it was possible to demonstrate that γ-smooth muscle actin may be associated with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition, which was also shown by transcriptomic analysis. The presence of γ-smooth muscle actin-positive fibroblasts in histopathological sections of human tumours verified the expression of this protein as a new potential marker of CAFs.
期刊介绍：
Histochemistry and Cell Biology is devoted to the field of molecular histology and cell biology, publishing original articles dealing with the localization and identification of molecular components, metabolic activities and cell biological aspects of cells and tissues. Coverage extends to the development, application, and/or evaluation of methods and probes that can be used in the entire area of histochemistry and cell biology.
