Pancreatic cancer is currently the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, and the overall 5 year survival rate is still only around 10%. Pancreatic cancer exhibits a remarkable resistance to established therapeutic options such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, in part due to the dense stromal tumor microenvironment, where cancer-associated fibroblasts are the major stromal cell type. Cancer-associated fibroblasts further play a key role in cancer progression, invasion, and metastasis. Cancer-associated fibroblasts communicate with tumor cells, not only through paracrine as well as paracrine-reciprocal signaling regulators but also by way of exosomes. In the current manuscript, we discuss intercellular mediators between cancer-associated fibroblasts and pancreatic cancer cells in a paracrine as well as paracrine-reciprocal manner. Further recent findings on exosomes in pancreatic cancer and metastasis are summarized.
