    Tumour cells secrete TGFβ1 and IL6, which regulate IGFBP5, 6 and 7 expressions in cancer-associated fibroblasts. These high IGFBP-expressing CAFs show pro-tumorigenic effects and are associated with poor patient outcomes. On the other hand, knocking down IGFBP5, 6, and 7 selectively pushes CAF towards distinct subtypes, which suppresses tumour properties and correlates with better survival.
