Pancreatic Islet β-cell Subtypes are Derived from Biochemically-Distinct and Nutritionally-Regulated Islet Progenitors
Researchers showed that islet progenitors with distinct gene expression and DNA methylation patterns produced β-cell subtypes of different secretory function, proliferation rate, and viability...
Non-Canonical ALK7 Pathways Promote Pancreatic Cancer Metastasis Through β-Catenin/MMP-Mediated Basement Membrane Breakdown and Intravasation
[Molecular Cancer] Researchers identify two distinct but interconnected activin receptor-like kinase 7 (ALK7)-driven non-canonical pathways that promote PDAC dissemination.
TP53 Missense-Specific Transcriptional Plasticity Drives Resistance against Cell Cycle Inhibitors in Pancreatic Cancer
[Science Advances] Integrating multicenter patient data and multi-omics, scientists reported that the misp53R273H/C mutant is associated with cell cycle progression and a basal-like state compared to the misp53R248W/Q mutant.
METTL3/IGF2BP3 Mediates ORC6 Via N6-Methyladenosine Modification to Promote the Progression of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
[Gene] Scientists validated the role of origin recognition complex (ORC) 6 in PDAC and supported the hypothesis that the METTL3/IGF2BP3/ORC6/p53 axis may be a novel therapeutic target for PDAC, and inhibiting this axis may be an advantageous therapeutic strategy for curing PDAC.
Phase I Trial of HR070803 (an Irinotecan Liposome) in Combination With 5-Fluorouracil, Leucovorin, and Oxaliplatin for Untreated Advanced, or Metastatic Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
[BMC Medicine] Investgigators assessed the safety, preliminary antitumor activity, and pharmacokinetics of HR070803 in combination with 5-FU/LV and oxaliplatin for treatment-naive patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic PDAC.
Development of [18F]AlF-RESCA-H006 As a Novel Molecular Probe for 5T4 Tumor Imaging and Exploration of Its Application in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
[Molecular Pharmaceutics] Researchers confirmed the overexpression of 5T4 protein in tumor samples of pancreatic adenocarcinoma compared with the corresponding paraneoplastic tissue.
Nigericin Suppresses the Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Pancreatic Cancer Through Targeting Pre-Mir-374b-PRKCA/HBP1 Axis
[Molecular Carcinogenesis] Pancreatic cancer cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of nigericin at different time periods, and the corresponding 50% inhibiting concentration values were calculated.
Targeting MXD1 Sensitises Pancreatic Cancer to Trametinib
[Gut] Scientists illustrated the mechanisms of resistance to trametinib in PDAC and identified trametinib resistance-associated druggable targets, thus improving the treatment efficacy of trametinib-resistant PDAC.
eEF2K Is a Poor Prognostic Factor and Novel Molecular Target in Pancreatic Cancer: Regulating Tumor Growth and Progression Via the Tumor Microenvironment
[Cell Death & Disease] Researchers reported that the expression of eukaryotic elongation factor-2 kinase (eEF2K) is associated with shorter patient survival and demonstrated that eEF2K signaling is critical for the PDAC tumor growth and is regulated by the tumor microenvironment.
The Type I Collagen Paradox in PDAC Progression: Microenvironmental Protector Turned Tumor Accomplice
[Journal of Translational Medicine] The authors discuss the current research progress regarding the function of type I collagen in PDAC tumors and summarize its contributions to PDAC progression, thus providing a basis for follow-up research and potential targets for cancer treatment.
Proteomics in Pancreatic Cancer
[Biomarker Research] Researchers synthesize recent advancements in clinical proteomic techniques and applications, highlighting significant biomarker discoveries and signal transduction networks associated with pancreatic cacner.
