Research Abstract |
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly malignancies. Especially, the prognosis of the patients with pancreatic cancer is extremely poor. Recently, we identified the specific stromal cells responsible for invasion and/or metastasis of pancreatic cancer. In the present study, based on our previous data, we used the several stromal and endothelial markers and performed the prospective isolation of cell population derived from the resected pancreatic cancer tissues. Furthermore, we performed the functional analyses for the functional phenotyping and identified the several specific cell populations, which are significantly involved in cell proliferation, invasion, migration, EMT and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cells. We also identified the small molecules to regulate the cancer stroma and found the effect of one of the molecules in the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
