An Unbiased High‐Throughput Drug Screen Reveals a Potential Therapeutic Vulnerability in the Most Lethal Molecular Subtype of Pancreatic Cancer

In multiple in vitro and in vivo models of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), spanning human and murine PDAC cells, and orthotopic xenografts, researchers determined that the expression of keratin 17 resulted in a more than two‐fold increase in resistance to Gem and 5‐fluorouracil, key components of current standard‐of‐care chemotherapeutic regimens.

Glutathione S-Transferase pi-1 Knockdown Reduces Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma Growth by Activating Oxidative Stress Response Pathways

Researchers showed glutathione S-transferase pi-1 knockdown reduced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell growth, prolonged the G0/G1 phase, and elevated reactive oxygen species in PDAC cells.

Plasma Interleukin-8 Is a Biomarker for TAK1 Activation and Predicts Resistance to Nanoliposomal Irinotecan in Patients with Gemcitabine-Refractory Pancreatic Cancer

In vivo activity of nanoliposomal irinotecan was validated in an orthotopic nude murine model expressing TAK1-specific shRNA. Differential expression profiling revealed the gene coding for interleukin-8 as the most significantly downregulated in shTAK1 pancreatic cancer cell lines.

BAP1 Is a Haploinsufficient Tumor Suppressor Linking Chronic Pancreatitis to Pancreatic Cancer in Mice

Researchers found that heterozygous loss of histone H2A lysine 119 deubiquitinase BRCA1 Associated Protein-1 associates with a history of chronic pancreatitis and occurs in 25% of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas and 40% of acinar cell carcinomas.
