    Targeting UBE2T Potentiates Gemcitabine Efficacy in Pancreatic Cancer by Regulating Pyrimidine Metabolism and Replication Stress

    Researchers identified ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T) as a potential therapeutic target to combat gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer.

    THADA Inhibition in Mice Protects against Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Improving Pancreatic β-Cell Function and Preserving β-Cell Mass

    Both global and β-cell-specific Thada-knockout mice exhibited improved glycemic control owing to enhanced β-cell function and decreased β-cell apoptosis.

    MLKL Signaling Regulates Macrophage Polarization in Acute Pancreatitis through CXCL10

    An experimental pancreatitis was induced in C57BL/6J, Ripk3-/- and mixed-lineage kinase domain-like protein-/- (Mlk-/-) mice by cerulein plus lipopolysaccharide in vivo, and primary pancreatic acinar cells were also isolated to uncover cellular mechanisms during cerulein stimulation in vitro.

    CEBPB Promotes Gastrointestinal Motility Dysfunction after Severe Acute Pancreatitis via the MALAT1/CIRBP/ERK Axis

    The authors explored the regulatory role of metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) in gastrointestinal motility dysfunction following severe acute pancreatitis.

    Abstract

    Multifaceted Role for p53 in Pancreatic Cancer Suppression

    Researchers leveraged a hyperactive p53 variant which was previously showed as a more robust PDAC suppressor than wild-type p53, to elucidate how p53 acted at the cellular level to dampen PDAC development.

    Abstract

    S100 Family Proteins Are Linked to Organoid Morphology and EMT in Pancreatic Cancer

    Scientists used a lineage-traced sporadic model of pancreatic cancer to generate a murine organoid biobank from primary and secondary tumors, including sublines that underwent partial epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and complete EMT.

    Identification of Matrix-Remodeling Associated 5 as a Possible Molecular Oncotarget of Pancreatic Cancer

    In primary and immortalized pancreatic cancer cells, shRNA-induced matrix remodeling associated 5 (MXRA5) silencing or CRISPR/Cas9-mediated MXRA5 knockout suppressed cell survival, proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition, while provoking cell apoptosis.

    Antagonism between Prdm16 and Smad4 Specifies the Trajectory and Progression of Pancreatic Cancer

    Using the KrasG12D-based mouse model of human PDAC, investigators found that ablating Prdm16 did not block but instead accelerated PDAC formation and progression, suggesting that Prdm16 might function as a tumor suppressor in this malignancy.

    HNF1A Regulates Oxaliplatin Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer by Targeting 53BP1

    Scientists explored the role of hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox A (HNF1A) in oxaliplatin resistance in PDAC and revealed that HNF1A expression was negatively associated with oxaliplatin chemoresistance in PDAC tissues and cell lines.
