Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is a challenging disease with a high mortality rate. While the importance of crosstalk between cancer and immune cells has been well documented, the understanding of this complex molecular network is incomplete. Thus, identification of the secreted proteins contributing to the immunosuppressive microenvironment in pancreatic cancer is crucial for effective diagnosis and/or therapy. We utilized a public microarray dataset (GSE16515) from the Gene Expression Omnibus database to identify genes for secreted proteins in pancreatic cancer. RT-PCR and ELISA of the pancreatic cancer cell lines validated the cellular origin of the selected genes. For functional assay of the selected proteins, we utilized human-monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs). From the list of the secreted proteins, trefoil factor 2 (TFF2) was further examined as a potential chemokine/cytokine. While TFF2 did not significantly affect the phenotypic maturation and the allostimulatory capacity of DCs, TFF2 preferentially attracted immature (but not mature) DCs and inhibited their endocytic activity. Our data suggest that TFF2 from pancreatic cancer cells may attract immature DCs and affect the initial stage of DC maturation, thereby contributing to the induction of immune tolerance against pancreatic cancer.
