paracrine PDGF stimulation of CAFs induces production of the prototypical pro-angiogenic inducer fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2 in both cervical carcinomas and melanoma [11] and [85].
Interestingly, CAFs activated by PDGF-CC in melanomas also secrete the extracellular matrix protein osteopontin, the action of which is known to synergistically stimulate angiogenesis together with FGF-2 and promote autocrine VEGF-A signaling in endothelial cells

Inhibition of stromal PDGF receptors reduced proliferation and angiogenesis in cervical lesions through a mechanism involving suppression of expression of the angiogenic factor fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) and the epithelial cell growth factor FGF-7 by cancer-associated fibroblasts.

PDGF-C is upregulated in TAFs derived from refractory tumors and that PDGF-C, together with VEGF-A, mediates the angiogenesis induced by such TAFs in vivo. This study also demonstrates that inhibition of PDGF-C may reduce tumor angiogenesis and growth in vivo.
