    Abstract

    ISL2 Is a Putative Tumor Suppressor Whose Epigenetic Silencing Reprograms the Metabolism of Pancreatic Cancer

    Through in vivo CRISPR screening, scientists discovered islet-2 (ISL2) as a candidate tumor suppressor that modulated aggressive PDAC growth.

    MUC16 Promotes Liver Metastasis of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma by Upregulating NRP2 Associated Cell Adhesion

    Scientists observed that MUC16 and its C-terminal expression was significantly high in human PDAC tissues, PDAC organoids, and metastatic liver tissues, while no expression was observed in normal pancreatic tissues.

    Abstract

    FAM126A Interacted with ENO1 Mediates Proliferation and Metastasis in Pancreatic Cancer via PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

    Based on the Gene Expression Omnibus, the Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis, researchers observed that family sequence similarity (FAM) 126A was in high expressed levels among pancreatic cancer (PC) tissues and contributed to worse progression of PC.
