Gene expression level of HEI-286 Schwann cells and MiaPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells


ABSTRACT: We report the transcriptome analysis of HEI-286 human Schwann cells and MiaPaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells Nerves stimulate cancer progression for different cancer types, promoting both tumor growth and perineural invasion, a prominent process in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Yet little is known about how cells in the nerves contribute to cancer progression. Here we demonstrate that Schwann cells, the most abundant cell type in nerves, collectively function as tumor activated Schwann cell tracks (TASTs). Schwann cells in a 3D matrix organize into stellate tracks which serve as a conduit for cancer cell migration. TASTs actively promote pancreatic cancer dissemination during perineural invasion and neoneurogenesis. This key function of TASTs is induced by cancer cells triggering c-Jun activation of Schwann cells, analogous to the reprogramming that promotes nerve repair. In TASTs, dynamic Schwann cell processes wrap around and apply forces directly on cancer cells to enhance cancer motility. We define a model of cancer progression that relies upon collective Schwann cell behavior driven by c-Jun transcriptional reprogramming.
