CAFs have increased anaerobic glycolysis, as revealed by their increased basal glucose uptake
CAFs show increased expression of MCT4 (SLC16A4), the passive lactate-proton symporter driving lactate efflux, thereby validating the idea that prostate CAFs increased their lactate production with respect to healthy HPFs.
Protein level of MCT4 (SLC16A4) in CAFs is redox and HIF1 dependent.

Loss of Cav-1 in the stroma and gain of monocarboxylate transporter 4 (MCT4) expression in the stroma have been found to be involved in the progression of DCIS to IDC
