Upregulation of CPT1A in CAFs is responsible for intraperitoneal tumor dissemination and growth. (A) Experimental schema used to treat HCT116‐luc + cells before i.p. injection into BALB/C nude mice. (B) Animals from each test group were bioimaged (Xenogen IVIS system) by detecting the luciferase emission spectrum at 1 week post i.p. injection to visualize the progression of tumor growth in the peritoneum. (C) Animals from each test group were bioimaged (Xenogen IVIS system) by detecting the luciferase emission spectrum at 2 weeks post i.p. injection to visualize the progression of tumor growth in the peritoneum. (D) Summary of metabolic changes that occur in interacting colon cancer cells and CAFs as described in the text.
