Human Protein Atlas pan tissue single cell transcriptomic data
Platelet-Driven CAF Activation and ECM Barriers in the Tumor Microenvironment. A. Expression levels of TGFB1 and PDGFB were assessed <t>using</t> <t>pan-tissue</t> <t>single-cell</t> RNA-sequencing data from the Human Protein Atlas. Normalized counts (nCPM) were aggregated at the cell-type level. Among all surveyed human cell types, platelets showed the highest expression of TGFB1 and were among the top expressors of PDGFB, highlighting their distinct capacity as a concentrated source of these exclusion-related factors. B. Activated platelets engage CAFs via CLEC-2–podoplanin interaction and release TGF-β, PDGF, and SDF-1, inducing fibroblast, epithelial cell, and MSC differentiation into CAFs. MSCs activate platelets via PAF, forming a feedback loop. CAFs (α-SMA/FAP + ) remodel the ECM and promote desmoplasia, creating a barrier to T cell infiltration and sustaining immune suppression in the TME.

Article Snippet: Our analysis of pan-tissue single-cell transcriptomic data from the Human Protein Atlas identifies platelets as a dominant cellular source of TGF-β and among the highest expressors of PDGFB across human cell types (Fig. A), providing a strong molecular basis for their impact on CAF activation and differentiation.
