ATDC Binds to KEAP1 to Drive NRF2-Mediated Tumorigenesis and Chemoresistance in Pancreatic Cancer

Researchers revealed that increased ataxia-telangiectasia group D-associated gene (ATDC) levels protected cancer cells from reactive oxygen species via stabilization of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2).

Identification of a Subset of Immunosuppressive P2RX1-Negative Neutrophils in Pancreatic Cancer Liver Metastasis

RNA sequencing of murine PDAC liver metastasis-infiltrated neutrophils show that P2RX1-deficient neutrophils express increased levels of immunosuppressive molecules, including PD-L1, and have enhanced mitochondrial metabolism.

Visualization of Stem Cell Activity in Pancreatic Cancer Expansion by Direct Lineage Tracing with Live Imaging

Using genetic lineage tracing with a dual-recombinase system and live imaging, scientists showed that Dclk1+ tumor cells continuously provided progeny cells within pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia, primary and metastatic PDAC and PDAC-derived spheroids in vivo and in vitro.

S100A16 Promotes Metastasis and Progression of Pancreatic Cancer through FGF19-Mediated AKT and ERK1/2 Pathways

Researchers demonstrated that S100A16 promoted PDAC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. Knockdown of S100A16 induced PDAC cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase and apoptosis.
