Liver fluke granulin promotes exosome-mediated crosstalk and cellular microenvironment conducive to cholangiocarcinoma
2019-07-14
Abstract excerpt
Crosstalk between malignant and neighboring cells contributes to tumor growth. In East Asia, infection with fish-borne liver flukes is a major risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). The parasite secretes a growth factor termed liver fluke granulin ( Ov -GRN-1), a homologue of the human progranulin (huPGRN), which contributes significantly to biliary tract fibrosis and morbidity during infection. Here, exosome-...
