Pancreatic stellate cell-derived exosomal tRF-19-PNR8YPJZ promotes proliferation and mobility of pancreatic cancer through AXIN2.

ABSTRACT: The pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) play an important role in the development of pancreatic cancer (PC) through mechanisms that remain unclear. Exosomes secreted from PSCs act as mediators for communication in PC. This study aimed to explore the role of PSC-derived exosomal small RNAs derived from tRNAs (tDRs) in PC cells. Exosomes from PSCs were extracted and used to detect their effects on PC cell proliferation, migration and invasion. Exosomal tDRs profiling was performed to identify PSC-derived exosomal tDRs. ISH and qRT-PCR were used to examine the tRF-19-PNR8YPJZ levels and clinical value in clinical samples. The biological function of exosomal tRF-19-PNR8YPJZ was determined using the CCK-8, clone formation, wound healing and transwell assays, subcutaneous tumour formation and lung
