    Modeling
    Plasticity and Dysplasia of Pancreatic Ductal Organoids Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells

    Scientists differentiated human pluripotent stem cells into pancreatic duct-like organoids with morphological, transcriptional, proteomic, and functional characteristics of human pancreatic ducts, further maturing upon transplantation into mice.

    SHP2
    Drives Inflammation-Triggered Insulin Resistance by Reshaping Tissue Macrophage Populations

    Researchers reported that hyperactivation of the tyrosine phosphatase SHP2 found in Noonan syndrome led to an unsuspected insulin resistance profile uncoupled from altered lipid management in both patients and mice. .

    Abstract

    IP6-Assisted
    CSN-COP1 Competition Regulates a CRL4-ETV5 Proteolytic Checkpoint to Safeguard Glucose-Induced Insulin Secretion

    The CRL neddylation inhibitor Pevonedistat/MLN4924 stabilized ETV5 and remediated the hyperinsulinemia and obesity/diabetes phenotypes of mice.

    Proteomic
    Investigation of Glyceraldehyde-Derived Intracellular AGEs and Their Potential Influence on Pancreatic Ductal Cells

    Investigators evaluated the toxic effect of glyceraldehyde-derived intracellular AGEs on normal and malignant pancreatic ductal cells by assessing the cell viability, toxicity, and oxidative stress, followed by proteomic analysis.

    Autoantibody against Angiotensin II Type I Receptor Induces Pancreatic β-Cell Apoptosis via Enhancing Autophagy

    INS-1 cells were treated with autoantibody against the angiotensin II type I receptor, and cell viability, apoptosis, and autophagy-related proteins were detected by cell counting kit-8 assay, flow cytometry, and western blot analysis, respectively.

    SF3B1
    Mutation in Pancreatic Cancer Contributes to Aerobic Glycolysis and Tumor Growth through a PP2A–C-Myc Axis

    Researchers identified that the SF3B1 K700E mutation was strongly associated with tumor growth in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.

    Protease-Activated
    Receptor-1 Drives and Maintains Ductal Cell-Fates in the Premalignant Pancreas and Ductal Adenocarcinoma

    Scientists found that genetic deficiency for protease‐activated receptor 1(PAR1) increased acinar gene expression programs in the healthy pancreas and that PAR1 deficiency limited ductal transdifferentiation in experimental systems for acinar‐to‐ductal metaplasia.

    Suppression
    of Lysosomal Acid Alpha-Glucosidase Impacts the Modulation of Transcription Factor EB Translocation in Pancreatic Cancer

    Researchers showed evidence that suppression of acid alpha‐glucosidase, one of the lysosomal enzymes, improveed chemosensitivity and exerted apoptotic effects on pancreatic cancer cells through the disturbance of expression of the transcription factor EB.

    Fzd7/Wnt7b
    Signaling Contributes to Stemness and Chemoresistance in Pancreatic Cancer

    The authors showed that Fzd7/Wnt7b knockdown could reduce pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cell stemness and chemoresistance by reducing the percentage of cancer stem cells.

    Novel
    Therapies with Precision Mechanisms for Type II Diabetes Mellitus

    Drugs that augment insulin sensitivity, stimulate insulin secretion or the incretin axis, or suppress hepatic glucose production are active in more than 7,000 global trials using new mechanisms of action.

    Abstract

    Role
    of the TRP Channels in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Development and Progression

    Researchers analyzed the existing knowledge on the role of transient receptor potential channels (TRP) channels in the development and progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
