Abstract
Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is a tumor with high tendency to infi ltrate nerves. Recent stud ies highlighted a key role of Schwann cells (SC) in cancer progression. This aspect is still unin vestigated in CCA We observed through a 3D model of perineural invasion the neurotropism of a CCA cell line (HuCC-T1), towards sciatic nerve explants, while no migration was observed using the cholangiocyte controls (H69). Migration and invasion of HuCC-T1 is fostered by the SC conditioned media. Neither the HuCC-T1 nor the H69 control produce factors capable of modulating neuritogenesis in PC12. Western blots performed on HuCC-T1 cells incubated for 48h with conditioned media from SC show a downregulation of E-Caderin indicative of epithelial-mesenchimal transition (EMT) and an upregulation of the proliferating nuclear antigen (PCNA) as compared to the controls. Our data indicate that SC may regulate EMT, migration, invasion and proliferation in Chol angiocarcinoma. we will further investigate this phenomenon by looking for potential mechanisms and molecular pathways involved| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
