Researchers investigated whether methylation of histone H3 lysine 4, a marker of gene promoters with unresolved functional importance, was necessary for the maintenance of mature beta cell function.

To identify how loss of Chd4 impacts glucose homeostasis and gene expression programs in β-cells in vivo, researchers generated an inducible-β-cell-specific Chd4 knockout mouse model.

Using a zebrafish nitroreductase-mediated β-cells ablation model, scientists uncovered that ghrelin-positive ɛ-cells in the pancreas acted as contributors to neogenic β-cells after extreme β-cell loss. [Development]

The authors reported that MafB deficiency impaired β cell clustering and islet formation, but also coincided with loss of neurotransmitter and axon guidance receptor gene expression.

Using an experimental pipeline enabling PDAC organoid isolation and collection based on invasive phenotype, scientists assessed the transcriptomic programs associated with invasion in their organoid model. [Journal Of Clinical Investigation]

In vivo, researchers found that inflammatory cancer-associated fibroblasts displayed a hypoxic gene expression and biochemical profile and were enriched in hypoxic regions of PDAC tumors. [Cancer Research]

Using a tissue microarray, scientists found that high stomatin-like protein 2 (STOML2) expression was correlated with higher survival of patients with pancreatic cancer.

Investigators discovered that ubiquitin‑conjugating enzyme E2K (UBE2K) was expressed at high levels and indicated the poor prognosis of patients with PDAC. [International Journal of Oncology]
