Pleiotrophin and N-syndecan promote perineural invasion and tumor progression in an orthotopic mouse model of pancreatic cancer

Abstract: AIMTo detect the expression of pleiotrophin (PTN) and N-syndecan in pancreatic cancer and analyze their association with tumor progression and perineural invasion (PNI).METHODSAn orthotopic mouse model of pancreatic cancer was created by injecting tumor cells subcapsularly in a root region of the pancreas beneath the spleen. Pancreatic cancer tissues were taken from 36 mice that survived for more than 90 d. PTN and N-syndecan proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry and analyzed for their correlation wit… Show more

“…Whether SDC3-mediated regulation of MSC migration is directly linked to SDC3-mediated regulation of adhesion or via other pathways, remains to be established. In other cell types SDC3 regulates migration by functioning as a ligand for the soluble factor heparinbinding growth-associated molecule (HB-GAM) also known as pleiotrophin 43,44 . However, pleiotrophin failed to enhance migration of both wild type and Sdc3 −/− MSCs in our transwell assays, suggesting that, at least under our experimental conditions, SDC3-mediated regulation of MSC migration is not pleiotrophin-dependent.…”

“…Pleiotrophin (PTN) is a small heparin-binding cytokine which can be induced during tumorigenesis (31). Levels of PTN have been found to be increased in several cancer cell lines and primary tumors, including pancreatic cancer (32), hepatocellular carcinoma (33), breast (34) and papillary thyroid cancer (35). PTN promotes tumor progression either through direct effects on tumor cells or through stimulation of angiogenesis and remodeling of the tumor microenvironment (3638).…”
