摘要
Nectin-1 is a cell adhesion molecule that regulates the formation of adherens junctions and tight junctions. We measured the expression of nectin-1 in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Nectin-1 expression was measured via immunohistochemistry using tissue microarray blocks constructed from resected PDAC tissue from 258 patients. We screened for associations between nectin-1 expression and clinicopathological parameters. According to the percentage of CAFs stained, expression was classified as negative at <= 30% and positive at > 30%. Nectin-1 expression was confirmed in CAFs from 64 patients (24.8%), and was associated with lymph node metastasis (p = 0.016), advanced Union for International Cancer Control stage (p = 0.016), perineural invasion (p = 0.022), pancreatic head tumors (p = 0.023), and shorter overall survival (p = 0.003). Multivariate analysis revealed that nectin-1 expression in CAFs was an independent prognostic factor (p = 0.038). Diffuse nectin-1 expression in the CAFs of PDAC patients is associated with invasion, metastasis, and shorter survival.
