The incidence of pancreatic cancer is increasing in China, and in many patients the surrounding lymphatics have already been invaded and there is blood-borne metastasis at the time of diagnosis. Additionally, pancreatic cancer is largely refractory to conventional therapies. Therefore, to improve its prognosis, it is important to resolve the problem of its growth. Angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1) stimulates the growth and angiogenesis of pancreatic cancer and a selective AT1 antagonist could inhibit these effects. The present study aimed to investigate the expression of AT1 in pancreatic cancer cell lines to provide the theoretical basis for its treatment.
