Protease-Activated Receptor-1 Drives and Maintains Ductal Cell-Fates in the Premalignant Pancreas and Ductal Adenocarcinoma

Scientists found that genetic deficiency for protease‐activated receptor 1(PAR1) increases acinar gene expression programs in the healthy pancreas and that PAR1 deficiency limits ductal transdifferentiation in experimental systems for acinar‐to‐ductal metaplasia.

MECOM Permits Pancreatic Acinar Cell Dedifferentiation Avoiding Cell Death under Stress Conditions

The authors applied a non-genetic lineage tracing method of human pancreatic exocrine acinar and duct cells that allowed cell-type-specific gene expression profiling by RNA sequencing.

Concerted Cell and In Vivo Screen for Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDA) Chemotherapeutics

Cultured primary PDA cells expressed Rgs16::GFP in response to cytotoxic drugs. A histone deacetylase inhibitor, TSA, stimulated Rgs16::GFP expression in PDA primary cells, potentiated gemcitabine and JQ1 cytotoxicity in cell culture, and Gem + TSA + JQ1 inhibited tumor initiation and progression in vivo.

EMC6 Regulates Acinar Apoptosis via APAF1 in Acute and Chronic Pancreatitis

Potential regulatory proteins in pancreatitis were identified by proteomic screen using pancreatic tissues of PRSS1Tg AP mice. Adenoviral shRNA-mediated knockdown of identified proteins, followed by functional assays was performed to validate their roles.

Pancreas-Specific Deletion of Protein Kinase D Attenuates Inflammation, Necrosis, and Severity of Acute Pancreatitis

Investigators generated a mouse model with pancreas-specific deletion of PKD3, the predominant PKD isoform in mouse pancreatic acinar cells, by crossing Pkd3flox/flox mice with Pdx1-Cre transgenic mice which express Cre recombinase under the control of the mouse Pdx1 promoter.

Single-Cell Transcriptomes of Pancreatic Preinvasive Lesions and Cancer Reveal Acinar Metaplastic Cells’ Heterogeneity

Using a reporter gene, scientists identified metaplastic cells that originated from acinar cells and expressed two transcription factors, Onecut2 and Foxq1. Further analyses of metaplastic acinar cell heterogeneity defined six acinar metaplastic cell types and states, including stomach-specific cell types.

The Gustatory Sensory G-Protein GNAT3 Suppresses Pancreatic Cancer Progression in Mice

Compromised gustatory sensing, achieved by Gnat3 ablation, enhanced the CXCL1/2 – CXCR2 axis to alter the myeloid-derived suppressor cell population and promoted the progression of metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
