| Research Abstract |
We clarified that pancreatic stellate cells expressing mesenchymal stem cell marker enhanced the invasion and migration of pancreatic cancer cell in the cancer initiation and metastasis. Pancreatic cancer cells construct useful niche by which they stimulate the stromal cells. Inhibition of the molecules which are involved with the interaction between cancer cells and pancreatic stellate cells expressing mesenchymal stem cell marker controls pancreatic cancer progression.
