Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) still has a poor response to therapies, partly due to their cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). Here, we investigate the synergistic impact of a combinatory approach between a known chemotherapy agent, such as gemcitabine (GEM), and gene-modified human mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) secreting the pro-apoptotic soluble (s)TRAIL (sTRAIL MSCs) on both PDAC cells and CAFs. The combo significantly impacts on PDAC survival in 2D and 3D models. In orthotopic xenograft models, GEM and sTRAIL MSCs induce tumor architecture shredding with a reduction of CK7- and CK8/18-positive cancer cells and the abrogation of spleen metastases. A cytotoxic effect on primary human CAFs is also observed along with an alteration of their transcriptome and a reduction of the related desmoplasia. Collectively, we demonstrate a promising therapeutic profile of combining GEM and sTRAIL MSCs to target both tumoral and stromal compartments in PDAC.

期刊介绍:
Cell Reports Medicine is an esteemed open-access journal by Cell Press that publishes groundbreaking research in translational and clinical biomedical sciences, influencing human health and medicine.
Our journal ensures wide visibility and accessibility, reaching scientists and clinicians across various medical disciplines. We publish original research that spans from intriguing human biology concepts to all aspects of clinical work. We encourage submissions that introduce innovative ideas, forging new paths in clinical research and practice. We also welcome studies that provide vital information, enhancing our understanding of current standards of care in diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. This encompasses translational studies, clinical trials (including long-term follow-ups), genomics, biomarker discovery, and technological advancements that contribute to diagnostics, treatment, and healthcare. Additionally, studies based on vertebrate model organisms are within the scope of the journal, as long as they directly relate to human health and disease.
