Pancreatic stellate cells contribute pancreatic cancer pain via activation of sHH signaling pathway
Abdominal pain is a critical clinical symptom in pancreatic cancer (PC) that affects the quality of life for PC patients. However, the pathogenesis of PC pain is largely unknown. In this study, we show that PC pain is initiated by the sonic hedgehog (sHH) signaling pathway in pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), which is activated by sHH secreted from PC cells, and then, neurotrophic factors deriv...
متن کاملReprogramming pancreatic stellate cells via p53 activation: A putative target for pancreatic cancer therapy
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is characterized by an extremely dense fibrotic stroma, which contributes to tumor growth, metastasis, and drug resistance. During tumorigenesis, quiescent pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) are activated and become major contributors to fibrosis, by increasing growth factor signaling and extracellular matrix deposition. The p53 tumor suppressor is known to...
متن کاملPancreatic cancer-associated stellate cells
Pancreatic cancer-associated stellate cells secrete soluble factors, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), that promote the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells via a signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-dependent mechanism. Targeting components of the IL-6/JAK/STAT3 signaling axis within the tumor stroma could therefore inhibit local immunosuppression and improve the ...
متن کاملPancreatic stellate cells and pancreatic cancer cells: an unholy alliance.
Pancreatic cancer--a tumor displaying a particularly abundant stromal reaction--is notorious for its poor prognosis. Recent studies, via newly developed orthotopic models, provide compelling evidence of an important role for pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) in pancreatic cancer progression. Characterization of the mechanisms mediating PSC-cancer interactions will lead to the development of much ...
متن کاملPancreatic stellate cells: partners in crime with pancreatic cancer cells.
Pancreatic stellate cells (PSC) produce the stromal reaction in pancreatic cancer, but their role in cancer progression is not fully elucidated. We examined the influence of PSCs on pancreatic cancer growth using (a) an orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer and (b) cultured human PSCs (hPSC) and human pancreatic cancer cell lines MiaPaCa-2 and Panc-1. Athymic mice received an intrapancreatic in...
