Research Abstract

We found that cyclase-associated protein 2 (CAP2) is up-regulated in early HCC and is further up-regulated in progressed HCC. Another homologue CAP1 was overexpressed in pancreatic cancer and was involved in cancer cell motility and poor prognosis. We established a novel perineural invasion model and distinguished high- and low- perineural invasion group in pancreatic cancer. Gene expression analysis revealed CD74 as a possible molecule involved in perineural invasion. Proteomic analysis revealed synuclein-γ is closely involved in perineural invasion and distant metastasis and is a prognostic factor in pancreatic cancer.
