This study showed that GC-MSCs are plastic. The immunophenotype of GC-MSCs stimulated by CD4+ T cells has major changes that may influence tumour cell growth. This research was based on the interaction between tumour cells, MSCs and immune cells, providing a new understanding of the development and immunotherapy of GC.
