| Abstract | In over 70% of the cases, patients with curative surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) develop recurrent tumors. The cancer stem cell (CSC) hypothesis suggests that CSCs are chemoresistant and enriched in recurrent tumors. This study analyzes tumorbiology, expression of the metastasis-promoting CXCR4 and actinin-4, and of the CSC marker CD133 in primary and recurrent PDAC. Twenty-six patients underwent resection for primary and recurrent PDAC and most developed tumor recurrence within 2 years. In 81% the histologic tumor grade was unchanged. Immunohistochemistry could be performed with 15 pairs of primary and recurrent PDAC. The mean Ki-67 proliferation index increased (P = 0.06). About 30% of tumor cells were positive for CXCR4 and almost all tumor cells expressed actinin-4, but there were neither significant changes in the expression levels in recurrent PDAC, nor specifically enhanced levels in metastases. The prominent CD133 pattern was an apical membrane staining of inflammatorily altered, non-neoplastic ductal structures equally observed in primary and recurrent PDAC. The membrane CD133 positivity was consistently absent in neoplastic PDAC cells. Cytoplasmic CD133 positivity was extremely rare (0.85 and 0.34 cells/cm2 in primary and recurrent PDAC, respectively; P = 0.07). Tumor grade is mainly unchanged and the expression of CXCR4, actinin-4 and CD133 are not enhanced in recurrent PDAC. The apical membrane CD133 positivity of normal and inflammatorily altered ductal structures and its lack in tumor cells bring the role of CD133 as a specific CSC marker in PDAC into question. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
