lncRNA profile of CAFs isolated from Pancreatic cancer

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. To explore the lncRNA packaged in CAFs EVs, we conducted the lncRNA profile of CAFs isolated from pancreatic cancer Overall design: CAFs were isolated from pancreatic cancer and collected for lncRNA-seq.
