    Loss of Rnf43 Accelerates Kras-Mediated Neoplasia and Remodels the Tumor Immune Microenvironment in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

    Cell lines were isolated from Ptf1a-Cre;LSL-KrasG12D;Rnf43flox/flox and Ptf1a-Cre; LSL-KrasG12D tumors and interrogated by cytokine array analyses, ATAC-seq and in vitro drug assays.

    Exposure to Perfluorooctane Sulfonate Reduced Cell Viability and Insulin Release Capacity of β Cells

    In a cell-based in vitro bioassay, scientists used mouse β-TC-6 cancer cells and found 48-hour exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) decreased the cell viability at 50 μmol/L.

    Components of the Phosphatidylserine Endoplasmic Reticulum to Plasma Membrane Transport Mechanism as Targets for KRAS Inhibition in Pancreatic Cancer

    Researchers showed that the phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) lipid transport proteins, ORP5 and ORP8, which are essential for maintaining plasma membrane (PM) PtdSer levels and hence KRAS PM localization, were required for KRAS oncogenesis.

    Abstract

    FGD3 Binds with HSF4 to Suppress p65 Expression and Inhibit Pancreatic Cancer Progression

    FGD3, which is involved in regulating the actin cytoskeleton and cell shape, has been reported to inhibit cancer cell migration and predict a favorable prognosis in multiple types of cancer. Researchers conducted a systematic investigation of the cancer-related role of FGD3 in pancreatic cancer.

    Abstract

    Soluble AXL Is a Novel Blood Marker for Early Detection of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Differential Diagnosis from Chronic Pancreatitis

    Researchers explored the use of soluble AXL as a biomarker for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. AXL was analyzed by immunohistochemistry in human pancreatic tissue samples.

    A Noncanonical Hedgehog Signaling Exerts a Tumor-Promoting Effect on Pancreatic Cancer Cells via Induction of Osteopontin Expression

    Investigators analyzed the correlation between Sonic Hedgehog or Gli1 and osteopontin expression in human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. They also evaluated the proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion of Gli1-knockdown BxPC-3 cells.
