摘要
PTH-related protein (PTHrP) is expressed in many common malignancies such as breast and prostate cancer and can regulate their growth. Little is known, however, about the role of PTHrP in pancreatic adenocarcinoma. To study PTHrP in pancreatic exocrine cancer, we studied its expression in pancreatic cancer cell lines and surgical specimens. Eight human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines were evaluated: AsPC-1, BxPC-3, Capan-1, CFPAC-1, MIA PaCa-2, PANC-1, PANC-28, and PANC-48. Murine monoclonal antibodies to the amino-terminal (1-34), mid-region (38-64), and carboxyl-terminal peptides (109-141) of PTHrP were used to identify cellular PTHrP and secreted PTHrP including Western blotting and immunocytochemical staining for PTHrP from each cell line. Cellular PTHrP was detected in all cell line extracts by both Western blotting and immunoassay. CFPAC-1, derived from a pancreatic liver metastasis, had the highest concentration of PTHrP, and MIA PaCa-2, derived from primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma, had the lowest. PTHrP mas localized by immunocytochemical staining in the cytoplasm in all but one cell line, and both nuclear and cytoplasmic immunostaining were observed in the MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1 cells. Secretion of PTHrP into cell medium was also observed for each cell line and paralleled intracellular PTHrP levels. Evidence for differential processing of PTHrP expression was provided by studies demonstrating different patterns of PTHrP among the cell lines when assessed by PTHrP immunoassays directed against different PTHrP peptides. In specific, PTHrP secretion measured by a PTHrP-(38-64) assay was highest for BxPC-3, whereas the highest levels of secreted PTHrP-(109-141) occurred in CFPAC-1 and PANC-1. Growth of AsPC-1 cells Nas stimulated in a dose-dependent manner by PTHrP-(1-34). Immunostaining from archival tissue of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma revealed strong PTHrP expression in all 14 specimens. All patients were euealcemic preoperatively. These results demonstrate that PTHrP is commonly expressed in pancreatic cancer. Our data suggest that PTHrP may have,growth-regulating properties in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells, but further studies are required.
