    FAK Suppresses Antigen Processing and Presentation to Promote Immune Evasion in Pancreatic Cancer

    Loss of PDAC cell-intrinsic focal adhesion kinase (FAK) signaling promoted expression of the immunoproteasome and Major Histocompatibility Complex class-I, resulting in increased antigen diversity and antigen presentation by FAK-/- PDAC cells.

    Abstract

    circACTR2 Attenuates Gemcitabine Chemoresiatance in Pancreatic Cancer through PTEN Mediated PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

    circACTR2 was notably down-regulated in a panel of gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic cancer (PC) cell lines, and negatively associated with aggressive phenotype and poor prognosis of PC.
