Abstract

Background & Aims Although the healthy pancreas consists mostly of epithelial cells, pancreatic cancer and the precursor lesions known as pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, are characterized by an extensive accumulation of fibroinflammatory stroma that includes a substantial and heterogeneous fibroblast population. The cellular origin of fibroblasts within the stroma has not been determined. Here, we show that the Gli1 and Hoxb6 markers label distinct fibroblast populations in the healthy mouse pancreas. We then set out to determine whether these distinct fibroblast populations expanded during carcinogenesis. Methods We developed genetically engineered models using a dual-recombinase approach that allowed us to induce pancreatic cancer formation through codon-optimized Flp recombinase-driven epithelial recombination of Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog while labeling Gli1 + or Hoxb6 + fibroblasts in an inducible manner. By using these models, we lineage-traced these 2 fibroblast populations during the process of carcinogenesis. Results Although in the healthy pancreas Gli1 + fibroblasts and Hoxb6 + fibroblasts are present in similar numbers, they contribute differently to the stroma in carcinogenesis. Namely, Gli1 + fibroblasts expand dramatically, whereas Hoxb6 + cells do not. Conclusions Fibroblasts present in the healthy pancreas expand during carcinogenesis, but with a different prevalence for different subtypes. Here, we compared Gli1 + and Hoxb6 + fibroblasts and found only Gli1 + expanded to contribute to the stroma during pancreatic carcinogenesis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
