To investigate of human pancreatic cancer metastasis to the liver, a pancreatic carcinoma line, HPC-3, was injected into the spleens of nude mice. The cells from a few liver metastatic foci of the mice injected with HPC-3 were expanded in vitro and subsequently injected into the spleens of nude mice. By repeating these procedures, we were able to obtain a cell line, designated HPC-3H4. The mice were observed to have liver metastasis in 6 of 6 (100%) cases injected with HPC-3H4, whereas the rate was 0% at 3 weeks after the intrasplenic injection of HPC-3. The tumorigenicity of HPC-3H4 was more rapid than that of HPC-3. The motile activity of HPC-3H4 was also stronger than that of HPC-3, and the adhesion to the extracellular matrix of HPC-3H4 was stronger than that of HPC-3. We also analyzed the cell surface expression of the metastasis-related adhesion molecules. As a result, no substantial changes were observed in the expression level of adhesion molecules. These results suggest that HPC-3H4 is useful for studies aimed at the prevention of liver metastasis.

D010190 Pancreatic Neoplasms Tumors or cancer of the PANCREAS. Depending on the types of ISLET CELLS present in the tumors, various hormones can be secreted: GLUCAGON from PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS; INSULIN from PANCREATIC BETA CELLS; and SOMATOSTATIN from the SOMATOSTATIN-SECRETING CELLS. Most are malignant except the insulin-producing tumors (INSULINOMA).
