Outline of Final Research Achievements

We used nude mice injected with mixture of pancreatic cancer cell line, ASPC-1 and cancer associated fibroblast subcutaneously. After tumor growing, activated lymphocytes were administrated intraperitoneally, and degree of fibrosis, tumor-infiltrated lymphocytes (TIL) number and tumor volume were estimated in control group and Ptch1 peptide group. Pancreatic fibrosis was reduced, TIL number was increased, and tumor volume was decreased in Ptch1 peptide group. These results suggest that Ptch1 peptide improves immunotolerance condition by decreasing pancreatic fibross and inducing TIL number.
