Macrophages are derived from monocytes recruited to the tumor site and stimulated by specific chemokines secreted by tumor cells. These tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) have been postulated as being involved in the progression of cancer.
Based on our preliminary findings and on published data we hypothesized that macrophage-induced chemoresistance (MIC) can promote survival of pancreatic carcinoma cells during chemotherapy.
The overall goal of this study is to evaluate the mechanism of MIC in an in-vitro model of Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA).

|---|---|---|
| proliferation and migration of PANC1 cell line in the tested groups. | the macrophages will be isolated from the blood we'll get from the healthy volunteers. the outcome measure is related to the basic research and not clinical so there's no symptom/outcome related to the participants. | one day to get the blood samples, and a year after that to complete the basic research |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| To determine whether direct cell-to-cell interaction or soluble factors participate in MIC. | a year from obtaining the blood samples |
