Description

Human Pancreatic CAF-Stellate Cells are cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) derived from pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs), playing a critical role in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of pancreatic cancer. Once activated, PSCs lose their lipid droplets and acquire a fibroblastic morphology, contributing to desmoplasia and ECM deposition. These cells exhibit a stellate morphology with elongated cytoplasmic processes and express characteristic markers such as α-SMA, vimentin, and fibroblast activation protein (FAP), indicative of their activated CAF phenotype. Functionally, they play a pivotal role in pancreatic cancer progression by remodeling the extracellular matrix, promoting tumor growth, and mediating immunosuppression through secretion of cytokines and growth factors. They are widely used to study tumor-stroma interactions, fibrotic responses, and drug resistance mechanisms in pancreatic cancer.

Application

  • Human Pancreatic CAF-Stellate Cells are used extensively in cancer research to investigate stromal remodeling, cell-cell signaling, and chemoresistance in pancreatic tumors. They provide a vital in vitro model to test antifibrotic agents, study tumor microenvironment interactions, and develop novel therapeutic strategies targeting cancer-associated fibrosis and immune evasion.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are Human Pancreatic CAF-Stellate Cells?

    Human pancreatic CAF-stellate cells are cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) derived from pancreatic tissue. They play a significant role in the tumor microenvironment by interacting with cancer cells, influencing tumor growth, progression, and metastasis.

  • What is the distinction between human pancreatic CAF-stellate cells and traditional stellate cells?

    Human pancreatic CAF-stellate cells are fibroblasts found in pancreatic cancer tissues, not traditional stellate cells involved in fibrosis. Stellate cells are a separate cell type primarily associated with fibrosis and are not specifically linked to cancerous conditions in the pancreas.

  • What is the primary function of pancreatic CAF-stellate cells in cancer?

    The primary function of pancreatic CAF-stellate cells in cancer is to remodel the extracellular matrix, promote tumor cell proliferation, facilitate immune evasion, and enhance angiogenesis, thereby supporting tumor growth and metastasis.

  • How to isolate pancreatic CAF-stellate cells from tumor tissues?

    Pancreatic CAF-stellate cells are typically isolated from pancreatic tumor tissues through enzymatic digestion followed by cell culture techniques that allow the fibroblasts to proliferate while other cell types are minimized.

  • What are the research applications of pancreatic CAF-stellate cells?

    Pancreatic CAF-stellate cells are used in research to study tumor-stroma interactions, investigate the mechanisms of fibrosis in the pancreas, develop anti-cancer therapies targeting the tumor microenvironment, and understand the role of CAFs in cancer resistance to treatments.
