FAP (fibroblast activation protein) and FOLH1 (folate hydrolase 1), also known as PSMA (prostate-specific membrane antigen), are cell surface proteins that have garnered significant attention in the field of cancer research. Their roles in tumor progression, metastasis, and therapeutic resistance make them promising targets for cancer therapy. The discovery of FAP and FOLH1 began with the identification of their aberrant expression patterns in various cancer types. Initial investigations, dating back to the late 1990s, revealed elevated levels of FAP and FOLH1 in tumor-associated fibroblasts and prostate cancer cells, respectively. Subsequent studies employing molecular biology techniques elucidated their physiological functions and molecular pathways involved in cancer progression. To facilitate further research, stable cell lines overexpressing Human FAP and FOLH1 were established using HEK293 cells, a widely used cellular model system. These cell lines provide valuable tools for studying the biological roles of FAP and FOLH1 in cancer biology, as well as for screening potential therapeutic agents targeting these proteins. In conclusion, the discovery and characterization of FAP and FOLH1 have significantly advanced our understanding of cancer biology and provided new avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Cribriform prostate cancer, found in invasive cribriform carcinoma (ICC) and intraductal carcinoma (IDC), is a highly aggressive subtype associated with lethal progression. Researchers investigate the aggressiveness of cribriform prostate cancer (ICC/IDC) using single-cell RNA sequencing and histology on paired tumor and benign samples. They find ICC/IDC cells express metastasis-associated genes and potential therapeutic targets. The tumor microenvironment (TME) is characterized by increased angiogenesis, immunosuppressive fibroblasts (CTHRC1+ASPN+FAP+ENG+), and dysfunctional T cells. These intrinsic pathways and immunosuppressive TME components contribute to ICC/IDC aggressiveness, suggesting potential therapeutic avenues to restore immune signaling for better outcomes.

Researchers quantified FAP/FOLH1 expression in a prostate cancer cohort, observing its levels in different histological patterns.Figure 1. Researchers quantified FAP/FOLH1 expression in a prostate cancer cohort, observing its levels in different histological patterns. (Wong HY, et al., 2022)

If utilizing Creative Biogene's Human FAP/FOLH1 stable cell line, the pivotal role in the proliferation, migration, and invasion of ICC/IDC cells can be assessed. Opting for our product for similar experiments enables in-depth investigation into the role of FAP/FOLH1 in tumor development, thereby providing reliable experimental support for novel strategies in cancer therapy.
