Branched-Chain Amino Acid Aminotransferase 2 Regulates Ferroptotic Cell Death in Cancer Cells

By using a high-throughput CRISPR/Cas9-based genetic screen in HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells to search for metabolic proteins inhibiting ferroptosis, researchers identified a branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase 2 as a novel suppressor of ferroptosis.

Tumor Treating Fields (TTF) Treatment Enhances Radiation-Induced Apoptosis in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

In CFPAC-I and HPAF-II pancreatic cancer cell lines, the combined in vitro effect of tumor treating fields and radiotherapy was evaluated by measuring cell counts, markers of apoptosis, and clonogenic cell survival.

Anticancer Effects of miR-124 Delivered by BM-MSC Derived Exosomes on Cell Proliferation, Epithelial Mesenchymal Transition, and Chemotherapy Sensitivity of Pancreatic Cancer Cells

miR-124 or EZH2 was overexpressed in AsPC-1 and PANC1 cells. Then, the effects on cell viability, apoptosis, invasion, migration and epithelial mesenchymal transition were evaluated. The roles of miR-124 on the expression and function of EZH2 in pancreatic tumors were determined by dual luciferase reporter assay. Subsequently, miR-124 was transfected to bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs), and the BM-MSCs derived exosomes were isolated and co-cultured with AsPC-1 and PANC1 cells, or injected into pancreatic cancer tumor-bearing mice.

Neurotensin Receptor 1 Signaling Promotes Pancreatic Cancer Progression

Investigators used sublines to screen molecular targets for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Among the genes with increased expression levels in the sublines, they focused on those encoding cell surface receptors that may be involved in the interactions between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment.

Diltiazem Potentiates the Cytotoxicity of Gemcitabine and 5-Fluorouracil in PANC-1 Human Pancreatic Cancer Cells through Inhibition of P-Glycoprotein

The cytotoxic effect of diltiazem, gemcitabine, and 5-fluorouracil in single and combined forms against PANC-1 and AsPC-1 cells were assayed by MTT. Flow cytometric analysis was used for the determination of cell cycle, apoptosis, and stemness markers in pancreatic cancer cells.

TSPAN1 Promotes Autophagy Flux and Mediates Cooperation between WNT-CTNNB1 Signaling and Autophagy via the MIR454-FAM83A-TSPAN1 Axis in Pancreatic Cancer

Scientists demonstrated that TSPAN1 was upregulated in pancreatic cancer and that TSPAN1 depletion decreased pancreatic cancer cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. TSPAN1 expression was correlated with poor overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients.
