lncRNA profile of CAFs 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. To explore the lncRNA packaged in CAFs EVs, we conducted the lncRNA profile of CAFs derived EVs. NFs and CAFs were isolated from pancreatic cancer and conditional medium were collected for EVs isolation. Then the RNA packaged by EVs were extracted for lncRNA-seq.
