To assess the clinical and pathological significance of mast cell infiltration in human pancreatic cancer and evaluate crosstalk between mast cells and cancer cells in vitro. Immunohistochemistry for tryptase was performed on 53 pancreatic cancer specimens. Mast cell counts were correlated with clinical variables and survival. Serum tryptase activity from cancer patients was compared to patients with benign pancreatic disease. In vitro, the effect of pancreatic cancer conditioned media on mast cell migration was assessed. The effect of conditioned media from the human mast cell line, LAD-2, on cancer and normal ductal cell proliferation was assessed by thymidine incorporation. Matrigel invasion assays were used to evaluate the effect of mast cell conditioned media on cancer cell invasion in the presence and absence of a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor, GM6001. Mast cell infiltration was significantly increased in pancreatic cancer compared to normal pancreatic tissue [11.4±6.7vs.2.0±1.4(p<0.001)]. Increased infiltrating mast cells correlated with higher grade tumors (p<0.0001) and worse survival. Patients with pancreatic cancer had elevated serum tryptase activity (p<0.05). In vitro, AsPC1 and PANC-1 cells induced mast cell migration. Mast cell conditioned media induced pancreatic cancer cell migration, proliferation and invasion but had no effect on normal ductal cells. Furthermore, the effect of mast cells on cancer cell invasion was in large part MMP-dependent. Tumor infiltrating mast cells are associated with worse prognosis in pancreatic cancer. In vitro, the interaction between mast cells and pancreatic cancer cells promote tumor growth and invasion.
