    The Induction of Peripheral Trained Immunity in the Pancreas Incites Anti-Tumor Activity to Control Pancreatic Cancer Progression

    Scientists demonstrated that yeast-derived particulate β-glucan, an inducer of trained immunity, trafficked to the pancreas, which caused a CCR2-dependent influx of monocytes/macrophages to the pancreas that displayed features of trained immunity.

    A Distinct Role of STING in Regulating Glucose Homeostasis through Insulin Sensitivity and Insulin Secretion

    Using global stimulator of interferon genes (STING) knockout (STING−/−) and β-cell–specific STING knockout mouse models, scientists revealed a distinct role of STING in the regulation of glucose homeostasis through peripheral tissues and β-cells.

    Abstract

    Adult Pancreatic Islet Endocrine Cells Emerge as Fetal Hormone-Expressing Cells

    Using four conditional cell lineage tracing murine models, researchers described the natural history of pancreatic islet cells, from once they express a hormone gene, until late in life.

    MYCL-Mediated Reprogramming Expands Pancreatic Insulin-Producing Cells

    Investigators showed that Mycl played a key role in proliferation of pancreatic endocrine cells. In vitro expression of Mycl provoked active replication in islet cells, even in those from aged mice.

    Abstract

    Multiomic Characterization of Pancreatic Cancer-Associated Macrophage Polarization Reveals Deregulated Metabolic Programs Driven by the GM-CSF–PI3K Pathway

    Tumor-associated macrophages are abundant, and they are important mediators of disease progression and invasion. Scientists generated tumor-educated macrophages in vitro and performed detailed, multiomic characterization.

    Integrated Single-Cell Multiomics Analysis Reveals Novel Candidate Markers for Prognosis in Human Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

    Researchers identified normal epithelial cells in the tumor lesion of PDAC patients, which had euploid genomes, normal patterns of DNA methylation, and chromatin accessibility.

    Heat Shock Factor 1 Inhibition Sensitizes Pancreatic Cancer to Gemcitabine via the Suppression of Cancer Stem Cell-Like Properties

    Panc-1 and MiaPaCa-2 cells treated chronically with gemcitabine displayed increased transcription and expression of cancer stem cell-associated markers.

    M2-Phenotype Tumor-Associated Macrophages Upregulate the Expression of Prognostic Predictors MMP14 and INHBA in Pancreatic Cancer

    Researchers proposed to construct an immune-related prognostic risk model based on immune-related genes MMP14 and INHBA expression that could assess the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients and identify potential therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer.
