Cancer-Associated Adipocytes Exhibit an Activated Phenotype and Contribute to Breast Cancer Invasion

TL;DR: In vitro and in vivo evidence is provided that invasive cancer cells dramatically impact surrounding adipocytes and peritumoral adipocytes exhibit a modified phenotype and specific biological features sufficient to be named cancer-associated adipocytes (CAA); and CAAs modify the cancer cell characteristics/phenotype leading to a more aggressive behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adipocyte Exosomes Promote Melanoma Aggressiveness through Fatty Acid Oxidation: A Novel Mechanism Linking Obesity and Cancer.

TL;DR: It is shown that adipocytes secrete exosomes in abundance, which are then taken up by tumor cells, leading to increased migration and invasion, and inhibition of this metabolic pathway completely abrogates the exosome-mediated increase in migration.
