    Cold-Induced FOXO1 Nuclear Transport Aids Cold Survival and Tissue Storage

    Scientists revealed forkhead box O1 (FOXO1) as a key transcription factor for autonomous cold adaptation. Promoting FOXO1 nuclear entry enhanced cold tolerance in pre-diabetic obese mice, and greatly prolonged the shelf-life of human and mouse pancreatic tissues and islets.

    Lipidome Characterisation and Sex-Specific Differences in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

    The authors evaluated lipidome alterations caused by type 1 and type 2 diabetes by determining lipids significantly associated with diabetes overall and in both sexes, and lipids associated with the glycemic state.

    Genetics and Diet Shape the Relationship Between Islet Function and Whole-Body Metabolism

    Researchers performed ex vivo glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and insulin content assays in islets of 213 mice from 13 inbred mouse strains on chow, western diet, and ketogenic diet.

    Abstract

    The UBE2F-CRL5ASB11-DIRAS2 Axis Is an Oncogene and Tumor Suppressor Cascade in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

    Investigators showed that ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2F (UBE2F) was essential for the growth of human pancreatic cancer cells with KRAS mutations.

    Potential Role of Lipophagy Impairment for Anticancer Effects of Glycolysis-Suppressed Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Cells

    By screening anticancer metabolic compounds, the authors identified an inhibitor of lysine-specific histone demethylase 1A, which dramatically decreased the growth of PDAC and showed an anti-tumoral effect in tumor-bearing mice.

    IFIT1 Modulates the Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Pancreatic Cancer Cells via Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling

    Investigators explored the role of interferon-induced protein with tetratricopeptide repeats 1 (IFIT1) in the development and progression of pancreatic cancer. Their data indicated that IFIT1 increased pancreatic cancer cell proliferation, migration, and invasion by activating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway.
