doi: 10.1158/2767-9764.CRC-24-0392
Figure Lengend Snippet: Collagen XVII expression is upregulated in PDAC cells upon interaction with CAFs. A, Western blot analysis of collagen XVII expression in immortalized human pancreatic ductal cells [human pancreatic duct epithelial (HPDE)], six PDAC cell lines, and telomerase reverse transcriptase–immortalized CAFs (CAF-1). β-Actin is shown as a loading control. B, COL17A1 expression in cell lines and matching xenograft tumors. C, Representative IHC staining of collagen XVII in cell line xenografts and PDXs of MGH1319. Scale bars, 50 μm. D, Schematic of the experimental setup of coculture and FACS of PDAC and CAF-1 cells. E, Collagen XVII expression in MGH1319 cells in monoculture and after coculture with CAF-1. β-Actin is shown as a loading control. F–H, Relative COL17A1 expression in MGH1319, MGH1275, MGH1108, and CAF-1 after mono- and coculture. The average (±SEM) from three independent experiments is shown. *, P < 0.05; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, not signficant (unpaired t test).
