Dopamine Improves Chemotherapeutic Efficacy for Pancreatic Cancer by Regulating Macrophage-Derived Inflammations

The roles and mechanisms of dopamine to affect the chemotherapeutic efficacy for pancreatic cancer were studied. Multi-omics results revealed that there was a tumor-promoting vicious cycle involving murine pancreatic cancer cells and tumor-associated macrophages.

Combining NanoKnife with M1 Oncolytic Virus Enhances Anticancer Activity in Pancreatic Cancer

Scientists evaluated improvements to therapeutic efficacy through combination therapy incorporating NanoKnife and M1 virus. They showed that irreversible electroporation triggered reactive oxygen species-dependent apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells mediated by phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B pathway suppression.

A MET Targeting Antibody-Drug Conjugate Overcomes Gemcitabine Resistance in Pancreatic Cancer

Scientists evaluated the efficacy of TR1801-ADC, a newly developed ADC composed of a MET antibody conjugated to the highly potent pyrrolobenzodiazepine toxin-linker Tesirine. They first evaluated MET expression and subcellular localization in pancreatic cancer cell lines, human tumors and patient derived xenografts.

TGFB1/INHBA homodimer/Nodal-SMAD2/3 Signaling Network: A Pivotal Molecular Target in PDAC Treatment

The authors focus on TGFB1/INHBA homodimer/Nodal-SMAD2/3 signaling network in pancreatic cancer as a pivotal central node which regulates multiple key mechanisms involved in the development of chemoresistance, including enhancement of the stem cell-like properties and tumorigenicity of pancreatic cancer cells, mediating cooperative interactions between pancreatic cancer cells and the surrounding stroma as well as regulating the deposition of ECM proteins within the tumor microenvironment.

Zinc Dependent Regulation of ZEB1 and YAP1 Co-Activation Promotes EMT Plasticity and Metastasis in Pancreatic Cancer

Scientists demonstrated that ZIP4 activated ZEB1 and YAP1 through distinct mechanisms. The ZIP4-miR-373-LATS2-ZEB1/YAP1-ITGA3 signaling axis has a significant impact on pancreatic cancer metastasis and EMT plasticity.

Generation of KS-58 as the First K-Ras(G12D)-Inhibitory Peptide Presenting Anti-Cancer Activity In Vivo

Scientists report the generation of KS-58, a KRpep-2d derivative that is identified as a bicyclic peptide and possess unnatural amino acid structures. The in vitro data and molecular dynamics simulations suggested that KS-58 entered cells and blocked intracellular Ras–effector protein interactions.

Targeting HGF/c-MET Axis in Pancreatic Cancer

The authors discuss the role of the MET/hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) axis in tumor progression and dissemination of pancreatic cancer. Therapeutic approaches that were developed targeting either the ligand or the receptor have not been shown to translate well into clinical settings.

Soluble VCAM-1 Promotes Gemcitabine Resistance via Macrophage Infiltration and Predicts Therapeutic Response in Pancreatic Cancer

Subcutaneous allograft tumors with overexpression or knock-down of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), as well as VCAM-1-blocking treatment in the spontaneous mouse model of pancreatic cancer, revealed that sVCAM-1 promotes tumor growth and resistance to gemcitabine treatment in vivo but not in vitro.
