    Goat Milk Improves Glucose Metabolism in Type 2 Diabetic Mice and Protects Pancreatic β-Cell Functions

    Type 2 diabetes mice were fed with a goat-milk-based diet containing 10.3% w/w goat milk powder for ten weeks for investigating the in vivo effects; a β cell line MIN6 cells were used to test the in vitro effects of digested goat milk.

    Abstract

    Targeting Protein Methylation in Pancreatic Cancer Cells Results in KRAS Signaling Imbalance and Inhibition of Autophagy

    Scientists observed that by reducing the membrane localization of MRAS, hypomethylation conditions produced an imbalance in KRAS signaling, resulting in the partial inactivation of ERK and hyperactivation of the PI3K/AKT–mTORC1 pathway.

    Knockdown of TACC3 Inhibits Tumor Cell Proliferation and Increases Chemosensitivity in Pancreatic Cancer

    The authors found that high TACC3 expression in PDAC was associated with poor prognosis. shRNA-mediated TACC3 knockdown caused S phase arrest of the cell cycle and inhibited proliferation in PDAC cell lines.

    Abstract

    Suppression of the KRAS-NRF2 Axis Shifts Arginine into the Phosphocreatine Energy System in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

    Unbiased transcriptome and metabolome analyses showed that PDAC cells with disrupted KRASG12D-NRF2 signaling (NRF2−/− cells) shifted from aerobic glycolysis to metabolic pathways fed by amino acids.

    High CTCF Expression Mediated by FGD5-AS1/miR-19a-3p Axis Is Associated with Immunosuppression and Pancreatic Cancer Progression

    Researchers examined the CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) function in pancreatic cancer (PC) and discovered that CTCF expression in PC tissues was significantly raised compared to neighboring healthy tissues.

    Two New Adenopeptins B and C Inhibit Sphere Formation of Pancreatic Cancer Cells

    By exploring microbial cultures as a source, researchers found new compounds, namely, adenopeptins B and C, from Acremonium sp. ESF00140. 1 and 2 selectively and potently inhibited the sphere formation of pancreatic cancer cells cultured in the fibroblast conditioned medium compared with the control medium.
