Sensory neurons drive pancreatic cancer progression through glutamatergic cancer-neuron pseudo-synapses.

Listed in NCBI GEO

The results provide significant insights into the role of Grin2D in regulating the secretion of neurotrophic factors that promote neuritogenesis.

Description

Transcriptomic analysis of orthotopically transplanted PDAC cancer cells with a knockout of the NMDA receptor subunit Grin2D, along with dorsal root ganglia (T8–T12) innervating the pancreas, strongly supports this conclusion. Furthermore, RNA-Seq analysis of tumor and ganglion biopsies from PDAC patients was performed to validate the identified gene candidates in a human context.

This study tested the hypothesis that neuronal glutamate drives pancreatic cancer progression via glutamate-mediated GluN2D signaling at the cancer-neuron pseudo-synapses.
