The expression of CXC12\/CXCR4 has not been previously examined in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanIN), the accepted precursor lesions to pancreatic duct cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study we sought to characterise the expression of CXCL12 and CXCR4 during the progression of PanIN using both a murine model and human tissues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>These studies reveal that both CXCL12 and CXCR4 are expressed in PanIN and that the frequency increases during PanIN progression (0% CXCR4 expression in normal mouse and human ducts vs 100% in mouse PanIN 3 and 77% in human PanIN 3). Next we demonstrate a dose-dependent increase in the proliferation of murine PanIN cells when exposed to CXCL12. Finally, we show that expression of CXCR4 in murine PanIN cells is partially dependent on mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling and that the effect of CXCL12 on PanIN proliferation can be abrogated by an MAPK inhibitor.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Together these results demonstrate that CXCL12\/CXCR4 expression begins in the pre-invasive stages of pancreatic neoplasia, and suggest that the presence of an autocrine loop that is at least partially regulated by MAPK signalling. Further studies that define the role of CXCR4 signalling in PanIN progression will determine if CXCR4 could serve as a novel target for chemoprevention and early stage therapy in pancreatic cancer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/gut.2007.143941","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,29]],"date-time":"2008-07-29T22:50:16Z","timestamp":1217371816000},"page":"1555-1560","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":69,"title":["The chemokine receptor CXCR4 is expressed in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"R M","family":"Thomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Division of Surgical Oncology, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oncologic Surgery, City of Hope National Medical Center, Duarte, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M P","family":"Revelo-Penafiel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R","family":"Angel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D W","family":"Dawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A M","family":"Lowy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Moores UCSD Cancer Center, Division of Surgical Oncology, La Jolla, California, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,7,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.1","first-page":"3530","article-title":"Expression of stromal cell-derived factor 1 and CXCR4 ligand receptor system in pancreatic cancer: A possible role for tumor progression.","volume":"6","author":"Koshiba","year":"2000","journal-title":"Clin Cancer Res"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/0008-5472.CAN-04-1343"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2005.06.056"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.1158\/1535-7163.29.3.1","article-title":"CXCR4 antagonist inhibits stromal cell-derived factor 1-induced migration and invasion of human pancreatic cancer.","volume":"3","author":"Mori","year":"2004","journal-title":"Mol Cancer Ther"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.5","first-page":"4961","article-title":"Epithelial cancer cell migration: A role for chemokine receptors?","volume":"61","author":"Scotton","year":"2001","journal-title":"Cancer Res"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1164\/rccm.200301-071OC"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.bjc.6603251"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.canlet.2005.06.021"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1535-6108(03)00309-X"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ccr.2005.04.023"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1158\/0008-5472.CAN-06-4128"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bcp.2006.05.010"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0014-5793(02)03143-5"},{"key":"2025112109444272000_57.11.1555.14","unstructured":"American Cancer Society.
