Abstract
It is now becoming apparent that multiple types of stromal cells, including macrophages, mast cells, adipocytes, and fibroblasts make pivotal contributions to carcinogenesis. In the May 6 issue of Cell, Orimo and colleagues (Orimo et al., 2005) show that carcinoma-associated fibroblasts can promote epithelial tumorigenesis by secreting the chemokine SDF-1α (CXCL12). SDF-1α stimulates carcinoma cell proliferation and recruitment of endothelial precursor cells.
