Abstract
In this article, using human pancreatic cancer cell lines and tumor specimens, we analyze the expression and localization of the invadopodia-related proteins TKS5 and Cortactin. Specifically, we present data on: a) TKS5 expression and localization by immunofluorescence in human pancreatic tumors, b) Cortactin expression by western blotting in various human pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell lines, c) TKS5 and Cortactin localization at invadopodia in BxPC-3 pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells, and d) TKS5 and Cortactin localization by co-immunofluorescence in human pancreatic cancer specimens. Data presented here is related to and supportive of the research article by Chen et al., "TKS5-positive invadopodia-like structures in human tumor surgical specimens" (Chen et al., 2019), where interpretation of the research data presented here is available.
