PGE2–Schwann Cell Dedifferentiation in PDAC PNI
2026-08-14
Wang et al. identify a paracrine PTGES–PGE2 axis through which pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells induce Schwann cell dedifferentiation and a proinvasive neural microenvironment. By combining spatial and single-cell analyses with coculture and three-dimensional perturbation models, the study links PGE2-stimulated Schwann cells to LIF- and ADAMTS-1-dependent remodeling associated with perineural invasion.
