| dc.description.abstract | Background Schwann cells (SC) may play an important role in perineural invasion (PNI) by promoting cancer cell dispersion. Brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may contribute to these cellular events by activating tropomyosine receptor kinase B (TrkB). This study examines the effect of TrkB inhibition on SC migration and oral cancer cell dispersion in vitro. Methods Human tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC‐9) and human SCs were cocultured in three different conditioned mediums: control, BDNF, and TrkB inhibitor. Cell migration, cancer cell dispersion, and SC dedifferentiation were measured on time‐lapse and immunofluorescence images. Results Cancer cell migration exceeded SC migration in all conditions. TrkB inhibition promoted SC dedifferentiation and significantly increased SC migration, when compared to BDNF conditions. TrkB inhibition also reduced cancer cell dispersion, when compared to control and BDNF‐treated cultures. Conclusion SCs may have importance in the pathophysiology of PNI. TrkB inhibition may be a potential avenue for therapeutic intervention. | en_US |
