mRNA profile of PANC-1 treated with CAF-derived Evs

Perineural invasion (PNI) is a unique biological feature of pancreatic cancer and is a key cause of pancreatic cancer metastasis, recurrence and poor postoperative survival, but its mechanism is largely unclarified. Clinical sample analysis and endoscopic ultrasonographic elasticity scoring indicated that cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are closely related to the occurrence of PNI. Furthermore, CAF-derived extracellular vesicles played an extremely important role in PNI in a dorsal root ganglion (DRG) coculture model and sciatic nerve model. Next, we demonstrated that CAFs promoted PNI via extracellular vesicle transmission of PNI-associated transcript (PIAT). To determine how CAF EVs exert its function, we performed mRNA sequencing on PANC-1 treated with CAFs-derived EVs PANC-1 cells were pretreated with CAFs-derived Evs and collected for mRNA-seq.
