    Abstract

    Eugenosedin-A Improves Obesity-Related Hyperglycemia by Regulating ATP-Sensitive K+ Channels and Insulin Secretion in Pancreatic β Cells

    The authors isolated pancreatic islets from adult male wistar rats and identified pancreatic β-cells by the cell size, capacitance and membrane potential.

    Abstract

    Glycosylation of MUC6 by α1,4-Linked N-acetylglucosamine Enhances Suppression of Pancreatic Cancer Malignancy

    Investigators ectopically expressed α1,4-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (α4GnT), the α1,4-linked N-acetylglucosamine biosynthetic enzyme, together with MUC6 in the human pancreatic cancer cell lines MIA PaCa-2 and PANC-1, neither of which expressed α4GnT and MUC6.

    Abstract

    Lutein Induces an Inhibitory Effect on the Malignant Progression of Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma by Targeting BAG3/Cholesterol Homeostasis

    Lutein is a natural compound that belongs to the non-vitamin A carotenoids family and has presented antitumor effects on multiple cancer types. The authors explored the role of lutein in pancreatic adenocarcinoma progression.

    Abstract

    X-ray Repair Cross-Complementing Protein 1 (XRCC1) Loss Promotes β-Lapachone –Induced Apoptosis in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

    Researchers knocked down XRCC1 expression by using pLVX-shXRCC1 in the MiaPaCa2 cells and BxPC3 cells and evaluated β-lapachone-induced DNA lesions by γH2AX foci formation and alkaline comet assay.
