UNASSIGNED: Exosomes were isolated from PF and plasma samples of non-cancerous (NC) (n = 15), chronic pancreatitis (CP) (n = 4), localized PDAC (PER-) (n = 18) and peritoneal disseminated PDAC (PER+) (n = 9) patients and the surface protein ROR1 was detected via FACS analysis. Additionally, soluble ROR1 in PF was analyzed. ROR1 expression in tissue was investigated using western blots (WB), qPCR, and immunohistochemistry (IHC). Exosome isolation was proven by Nano Tracking Analysis (NTA), WB, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and BCA protein assay. The results were correlated with clinical data and survival analysis was performed.
UNASSIGNED: PDAC (PER+) patients have the highest exo-ROR1 values in PF and can be discriminated from NC (p <0.0001), PDAC (PER-) (p <0.0001), and CP (p = 0.0112). PDAC (PER-) can be discriminated from NC (p = 0.0003). In plasma, exo-ROR1 is not able to distinguish between the groups. While there is no expression of ROR1 in the exocrine pancreatic tissue, PDAC and peritoneal metastasis show expression of ROR1. High exo-ROR1 expression in PF is associated with lower overall survival (p = 0.0482).
UNASSIGNED: With exo-ROR1 in PF we found a promising diagnostic and prognostic biomarker possibly discriminating between NC, PDAC (PER-) and PDAC (PER+) and might shed light on future diagnostic and therapeutic concepts in PDAC.
■从PF和非癌(NC)的血浆样品中分离外泌体(n=15),慢性胰腺炎(CP)(n=4),局部PDAC(PER-)(n=18)和腹膜播散性PDAC(PER+)(n=9)患者,通过FACS分析检测到表面蛋白ROR1.此外,分析了PF中可溶性ROR1。使用蛋白质印迹(WB)研究组织中的ROR1表达,qPCR,免疫组织化学(IHC)。通过纳米跟踪分析(NTA)证明了外泌体隔离,WB,透射电子显微镜(TEM),和BCA蛋白测定。结果与临床资料相关,并进行生存分析。
■PDAC(PER)患者在PF中具有最高的exo-ROR1值,可以与NC区分开(p<0.0001),PDAC(PER-)(p<0.0001),和CP(p=0.0112)。PDAC(PER-)可以与NC(p=0.0003)区分开。在等离子体中,exo-ROR1不能区分这些基团。虽然在胰腺外分泌组织中没有ROR1的表达,PDAC和腹膜转移显示ROR1表达。PF中的高exo-ROR1表达与较低的总生存率相关(p=0.0482)。
■在PF中使用exo-ROR1,我们发现了一种有希望的诊断和预后生物标志物,可能区分NC,PDAC(PER-)和PDAC(PER+),并可能阐明PDAC未来的诊断和治疗概念。
