    Collagenolysis-Dependent DDR1 Signaling Dictates Pancreatic Cancer Outcome

    The authors showed that matrix-metalloprotease-cleaved type I collagen (Col I) and intact Col I exerted opposing effects on PDAC bioenergetics, macropinocytosis, tumour growth and metastasis.

    Impaired TFEB Activation and Mitophagy as a Cause of PPP3/Calcineurin Inhibitor-Induced Pancreatic β-Cell Dysfunction

    Scientists studied whether PPP3/calcineurin inhibitors could affect the mitophagy of pancreatic β-cells and pancreatic β-cell function by employing FK506, an immunosuppressive drug against graft rejection.

    Neddylation-Mediated Degradation of hnRNPA2B1 Contributes to Hypertriglyceridemia Pancreatitis

    Researchers described the involvement of the RNA binding protein hnRNPA2B1 in the development of hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTGP). They used palmitic acid and AR42J cells to create a model of HTGP in vitro.

    Anti-Tumor Efficacy of a Potent and Selective Non-Covalent KRASG12D Inhibitor

    MRTX1133 exhibited dose-dependent inhibition of KRAS-mediated signal transduction and marked tumor regression in a subset of KRASG12D-mutant cell-line-derived and patient-derived xenograft models, including eight of 11 PDAC models.

    Abstract

    ERAP2 as a Potential Biomarker for Predicting Gemcitabine Response in Patients With Pancreatic Cancer

    Gemcitabine significantly increased the mRNA and protein levels of endoplasmic reticulum aminopeptidase 2 (ERAP2) in pancreatic cancer cells. Additionally, ERAP2 knockdown suppressed tumorigenesis and potentiated gemcitabine-induced growth, migration and invasion inhibition in human pancreatic cancer cells.

    SMAD2/3 Mediate Oncogenic Effects of TGF-β in the Absence of SMAD4

    Scientists provided evidence of a SMAD2/3 oncogenic effect in response to TGF-β1 in SMAD4-null human PDAC cancer cells, reporting that inactivation of SMAD2/3 in SMAD4-negative PDAC cells compromised TGF-β-driven collective migration mediated by FAK and Rho/Rac signaling.

    Stem Cell-Based Multi-Tissue Platforms to Model Human Autoimmune Diabetes

    Investigators summarize the state of human pluripotent stem cell differentiation approaches to generate cell types and tissues relevant to type 1 diabetes with a particular focus on pancreatic islet cells, T cells, and thymic epithelium.

    Baylor College of Medicine Recruiting Volunteers for Pancreatic Cancer Clinical Trial

    Researchers have begun recruiting volunteers for a clinical trial to study the effectiveness of a combination therapy for patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Patients with early-stage pancreatic cancer and who have had no prior chemotherapy or radiation may be eligible for the study.
