  • Lipid oxidation reprogramming in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) enhances CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity and therapeutic response.
  • A chemotherapy-conditioned PTGER3+ CAF subset with enhanced lipid oxidation promotes CD8+ T cell activation and cytotoxicity by suppressing PTEN-related signaling.
  • Higher proportions of therapy-induced PTGER3+ CAFs correlate with improved treatment responses and better patient prognosis.
  • The findings highlight CAF-driven lipid oxidation and its regulation of CD8+ T cell PTEN signaling as potential avenues to enhance chemotherapy and immunotherapy efficacy.
