| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is to identify and analyse the microvesicles affecting tumor-stromal interaction in pancreatic cancer. To clarify the functional interaction between pancreatic cancer cells and pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), we focused CD146 expression in PSCs. Immunohistochemistry revealed that CD146 positive PSCs were around the PanIN, the premalignant lesion of pancreatic cancer, but around the invasive carcinoma there was few CD146 positive PSCs. This result indicating that CD146 positive PSCs have suppressive function for pancreatic cancer cells, and some kind of soluble factor or microvesicles are mediating between them.
