Peritumoral inflammation is typically viewed as a reaction to nearby tumor growth. Here, we report that the inflamed pancreatic lobules are frequently invaded by tumor cells, forming a distinct, non-fibrotic tumor niche. Using a semi-supervised machine learning approach for annotations of clinical samples and multiplex protein profiling, we show that tumor cells at the invasion front are closely associated with acinar cells undergoing damage-induced changes, and with activated fibroblasts expressing markers of injury. The invaded lobules are linked to classical tumor phenotypes, in contrast to fibrotic areas where tumor cells display a more basal profile, highlighting microenvironment-dependent tumor subtype differences. In female mice, lobular invasion similarly aligns with the classical tumor phenotype. Together, our data reveal that pancreatic tumors colonize injured lobules, creating a unique niche that shapes tumor characteristics and contributes to disease biology.", "doi":

capsule is a strong positive prognostic factor in liver metastases, but its origin remains unclear. Here, we systematically quantify the capsule's extent and cellular composition in 263 patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases to investigate its clinical significance and origin. We show that survival improves proportionally with increasing encapsulation and decreasing tumor-hepatocyte contact. Immunostaining reveals the gradual zonation of the capsule, transitioning from benign-like NGFRhigh stroma at the liver edge to FAPhigh stroma towards the tumor. Encapsulation correlates with decreased tumor viability and preoperative chemotherapy. In mice, chemotherapy and tumor cell ablation induce capsule formation. Our results suggest that encapsulation develops where tumor invasion into the liver plates stalls, representing a reparative process rather than tumor-induced desmoplasia. We propose a model of metastases growth, where the efficient tumor colonization of the liver parenchyma and a reparative liver injury reaction are opposing determinants of metastasis aggressiveness.", "doi": "10.1038/s41467-023-40688-x", "pmid": "37596278", "labels": [], "xrefs": [{"db": "pmc", "key": "PMC10439160"}, {"db": "pii", "key": "10.1038/s41467-023-40688-x"}], "notes": [], "created": "2026-09-23T09:03:01.015Z", "modified": "2026-09-23T09:03:01.748Z"}, {"entity": "publication", "iuid": "0a1577b7b133469a807da1591560c44d", "links": {"self": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/0a1577b7b133469a807da1591560c44d.json"}, "display": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/publication/0a1577b7b133469a807da1591560c44d"}}, "title": "Immunohistochemical Typing of Adenocarcinomas of the Pancreatobiliary System Improves Diagnosis and Prognostic Stratification.", "authors": [{"family": "Fern\u00e1ndez Moro", "given": "Carlos", "initials": "C", "orcid": "0000-0001-6863-5959", "researcher": {"href": "https://publications-affiliated.scilifelab.se/researcher/6b9e861a77874d87a34a4894bd38daf5.json"}}, {"family": "Fernandez-Woodbridge", "given": "Alejandro", "initials": "A"}, {"family": "Alistair D'souza", "given": "Melroy", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Zhang", "given": "Qianni", "initials": "Q"}, {"family": "Bozoky", "given": "Benedek", "initials": "B"}, {"family": "Kandaswamy", "given": "Senthil Vasan", "initials": "SV"}, {"family": "Catalano", "given": "Piera", "initials": "P"}, {"family": "Heuchel", "given": "Rainer", "initials": "R"}, {"family": "Shtembari", "given": "Sonia", "initials": "S"}, {"family": "Del Chiaro", "given": "Marco", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "Danielsson", "given": "Olof", "initials": "O"}, {"family": "Bj\u00f6rnstedt", "given": "Mikael", "initials": "M"}, {"family": "L\u00f6hr", "given": "J Matthias", "initials": "JM"}, {"family": "Isaksson", "given": "Bengt", "initials": "B"}, {"family": "Verbeke", "given": "Caroline", "initials": "C"}, {"family": "Boz\u00f3ky", "given": "B\u00e9la", "initials": "B"}], "type": "journal article", "published": "2016-11-09", "journal": {"title": "PLoS ONE", "issn": "1932-6203", "volume": "11", "issue": "11", "pages": "e0166067", "issn-l": "1932-6203"}, "abstract": "Adenocarcinomas of the pancreatobiliary system are currently classified by their primary anatomical location. In particular, the pathological diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is still considered as a diagnosis of exclusion of metastatic adenocarcinoma. Periampullary cancers have been previously classified according to the histological type of differentiation (pancreatobiliary, intestinal), but overlapping morphological features hinder their differential diagnosis. We performed an integrative immunohistochemical analysis of pancreato-biliary tumors to improve their diagnosis and prediction of outcome.\n\nThis was a retrospective observational cohort study on patients with adenocarcinoma of the pancreatobiliary system who underwent diagnostic core needle biopsy or surgical resection at a tertiary referral center. 409 tumor samples were analyzed with up to 27 conventional antibodies used in diagnostic pathology. Immunohistochemical scoring system was the percentage of stained tumor cells. Bioinformatic analysis, internal validation, and survival analysis were performed.\n\nHierarchical clustering and differential expression analysis identified three immunohistochemical tumor types (extrahepatic pancreatobiliary, intestinal, and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) and the discriminant markers between them. Among patients who underwent surgical resection of their primary tumor with curative intent, the intestinal type showed an adjusted hazard ratio of 0.19 for overall survival (95% confidence interval 0.05-0.72; p value = 0.014) compared to the extrahepatic pancreatobiliary type.\n\nIntegrative immunohistochemical classification of adenocarcinomas of the pancreatobiliary system results in a characteristic immunohistochemical profile for intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and intestinal type adenocarcinoma, which helps in distinguishing them from metastatic and pancreatobiliary type adenocarcinoma, respectively.
