Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we examine the relevance to the invasion of pancreatic fibrosis and cancer stem cells. CD133 expression pancreatic cancer cells showing the cancer stem cell-like characteristics showed fibrosis enhancement and high expression of active macrophages interstitial in the pancreas within the transplantation of immunocompromised mice. Many of the active macrophages were present in the invasion site express FRβ. To establish a blood soluble FRβ measurement system, a result of the study the correlation between the clinical data of pancreatic cancer 20 cases, serum soluble FRβ high-value group has a high possibility of lymph node metastasis, clinical application has been suggested. In addition, CD133 expression pancreatic cancer cells were significantly enhanced the hematogenous metastases through the expression of EMT-related genes. It was further found that the miR-30 family plays an important role in the invasion of CD133 expression pancreatic cancer cells.
