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.
Acinar to β-Like Cell Conversion through Inhibition of Focal Adhesion Kinase
[Nature Communications] Using lineage tracing studies along with transcriptomic characterization, scientists demonstrated that treatment of adult mice with a small molecule that inhibits kinase activity of focal adhesion kinase resulted in trans-differentiation of a subset of peri-islet acinar cells into insulin producing β-like cells.
Adenosine Kinase Inhibits β-Cell Proliferation by Upregulating DNA Methyltransferase 3A Expression
[Diabetes Obesity & Metabolism] Genetic animal models and transgenic immortalized cells were applied to study the effect of adenosine kinase on islet beta-cell proliferation and function.
Pancreactic Cancer: Succesful Trial against Pancreatic Cancer with Defence’s Arm-002 Anti-cancer Vaccine
[Defence Therapeutics, Inc.] Defence Therapeutics, Inc. announce the completion of a pre-clinical vaccination trial using its ARM-002TM vaccine against pancreatic cancer. The vaccine was shown to be therapeutically effective against pre-established pancreatic cancer especially when combined with the anti-PD-1 immune-checkpoint inhibitor.
Multiplexed Imaging Mass Cytometry Analysis Characterizes the Vascular Niche in Pancreatic Cancer
[Cancer Research] Scientists investigated the vascular microenvironment of PDAC by applying imaging mass cytometry using a 26-antibody panel on 35 regions of interest across nine patients, capturing over 140,000 single cells.
