    Interferons Are Key Cytokines Acting on Pancreatic Islets in Type 1 Diabetes

    The authors used deep RNA-seq analysis, RT-qPCR, western blot, histology, and siRNAs, to characterize the response of human pancreatic beta cells to each cytokine individually and compared the signatures obtained with those present in islets of individuals affected by T1D.

    LncRNA MACC1-AS1 Induces Gemcitabine Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer Cells through Suppressing Ferroptosis

    In both gemcitabine-resistant pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients and mouse models, the elevated expression level of MACC1-AS1 in the tumors was noted. Overexpression of MACC1-AS1 in pancreatic cancer cells was found to enhance tolerance to gemcitabine and suppress ferroptosis.

    SOX2 and OCT4 Mediate Radiation and Drug Resistance in Pancreatic Tumor Organoids

    Investigators treated pancreatic tumor organoids with 4 or 8 Gy of radiation, 10 μM of 5-Fluorouracil, and 100 μM 3-Bromopyruvate, a promising anti-cancer drug, as a single treatment modality, and in combination with RT.

    Progesterone Receptor Potentiates Macropinocytosis through CDC42 in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

    The authors found that progesterone receptor, a steroid-responsive nuclear receptor, was highly expressed in PDAC tissues obtained from both patients and transgenic LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Trp53R172H/+; PDX1-cre mice.
