Pancreatic Stellate Cells Promote Growth and Metastasis of Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor

We aimed to study the interaction of PNETs and pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) in PNET progression through exploring specific gene expression of PNETs cultured with conditional media of PSCs. QGP-1 cells were cultured with mock or conditional media of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs). Total RNA was extracted and gene expression changes were analysed by microarray in comparsion to QGP-1 cultured with or without conditional media of PSCs.
