The Efficiency of Stem Cell Differentiation into Functional Beta Cells for Treating Insulin-Requiring Diabetes: Recent Advances and Current Challenges

[Endocrine] The authors review the current advances and challenges faced by stem cell differentiation into functional β-cells for diabetes treatment.

E3 Ubiquitin Ligase UBR5 Promotes Gemcitabine Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer by Inducing O-GlcNAcylation-Mediated EMT via Destabilization of OGA

[Cell Death & Disease] Investigators reported that ubiquitin-protein ligase E3 module N-recognition 5 (UBR5) was a therapeutic target against gemcitabine (GEM) resistance. Further analysis revealed that UBR5 promoted GEM resistance in pancreatic cancer cells by enhancing O-GlcNAcylation-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

3D Printed VEGF-CPO Biomaterial Scaffold to Promote Subcutaneous Vascularization and Survival of Transplanted Islets for the Treatment of Diabetes

[International Journal Of Biological Macromolecules] Investigators utilized biocompatible copolymers of L-lactide and D,L-lactide to manufacture a biomaterial scaffold with a mesh-like structure via 3D printing technology, providing a material foundation for encapsulating pancreatic islet cells.

A Mucus Production Program Promotes Classical Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Investigators explored intratumour heterogeneity and plasticity of cancer cell states in pancreatic dutal adenocarcinoma (PDA) in order to reveal cell state-specific regulators. They analyzed...

MKLN1-AS Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Progression as a Crucial Downstream Mediator of HIF-1α through miR-185-5p/TEAD1 Pathway

[Cell Biology And Toxicology] The authors highlighted the important role played by the long noncoding RNA MKLN1-AS, which was controlled by hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α), in the progression of PDAC.

P2X7R and P2X4R Expression of Mice Submandibular Gland in High-Fat Diet/Streptozotocin-Induced Type 2 Diabetes

[Scientific Reports] Researchers evaluated P2X7R and P2X4R expression and morphological changes in the submandibular gland in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Bax Inhibitor-1 Preserves Pancreatic β-Cell Proteostasis by Limiting Proinsulin Misfolding and Programmed Cell Death

[Cell Death & Disease] Investigators uncovered a new role for bax inhibitor-one, a negative regulator of inositol-requiring enzyme 1 in preserving β-cell health against terminal unfolded protein response (UPR)-induced apoptosis and pyroptosis in the context of supraphysiological loads of insulin production.

The Janus Kinase 1 Is Critical for Pancreatic Cancer Initiation and Progression

[Cell Reports] Using a ligand-controlled and pancreas-specific knockout in adult mice, researchers demonstrated that Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK1) deficiency prevented the formation of KRASG12D-induced pancreatic tumors. They established that JAK1 was essential for the constitutive activation of STAT3, whose activation is a prominent characteristic of PDAC.

Oncolytics Biotech® Receives Regulatory Clearance to Evaluate Pelareorep in Combination with Modified FOLFIRINOX +/- an Anti-PD-L1 Inhibitor in Pancreatic Cancer

[Oncolytics Biotech, Inc.] Oncolytics Biotech® Inc. will commence enrollment into a new GOBLET study pancreatic cancer cohort following both German regulatory and ethics approvals. This cohort will evaluate pelareorep in combination with modified FOLFIRINOX with or without the PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor atezolizumab in newly diagnosed patients with PDAC.

SUCNR1 Regulates Insulin Secretion and Glucose Elevates the Succinate Response in People with Prediabetes

[Journal Of Clinical Investigation] Scientists reported that the succinate receptor (SUCNR1) was expressed in β-cells and was up-regulated in hyperglycemic states in mice and humans.

Transfer Learning Reveals Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Are Associated with Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and Inflammation in Cancer Cells in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

[Cancer Research] Researchers used a convergence approach to identify tumor cell and cancer-associated fibroblast interactions through the integration of single-cell data from human tumors with human organoid coculture experiments.

Positive Feedback Regulation between Glycolysis and Histone Lactylation Drives Oncogenesis in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

[Molecular Cancer] The participation of histone lactylation in the growth and progression of PDAC was confirmed through inhibition of histone lactylation by glycolysis inhibitors or lactate dehydrogenase A knockdown both in vitro and in vivo.
