Outline of Final Research Achievements

Antiangiogenic agents have been shown to be effective in the treatment of cancers such as colon cancer and lung cancer, but not in pancreatic cancer. In this study, we aimed to develop a new treatment of pancreatic cancer targeting pericytes, which cover and stabilize the tumor vessels.
In our study, pericytes were prevalent in the stroma of pancreatic cancer specimen. Then we conducted this study focused on pancreatic stellate cells(PSCs),which play a crucial role in desmoplasia, considering the possiblity that tumor vascular permeability is caused by the abundant tumor stroma.
Stromal CD51 expression in the resected pancreatic cancer specimens was associated with shorter patients survival time, and knockdown of CD51 in PSCs led to suppression of proliferation and migration of PSCs in vitro. In addition, tumor growth was inhibited in nude mice co-transplanted with pancreatic cancer cells and CD51 knocked down PSCs, compared with those co-transplanted with control PSCs.
