To examine the molecular mechanisms through which FGF10 signalling induces migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells with FGFR2-IIIb expression, we analysed whether FGF10 stimulation induced mRNA expression of 18 genes related to cell mobility in CFPAC-1 cells (see Materials and methods for the 18 genes). This evidence concerns the gene FGF10 and familial pancreatic carcinoma.
