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.
Galectin-3 Impairs Calcium Transients and β-Cell Function
[Nature Communications] The authors reported that galectin-3, mainly produced and secreted by macrophages, was elevated in islets from both high-fat diet-fed and diabetic mice.
Pancreatic Beta-Cell Mass and Function and Therapeutic Implications of Using Antidiabetic Medications in Type 2 Diabetes
[Journal Of Diabetes Investigation] The authors outline the processes of β-cell failure and detail the many β-cell abnormalities that manifest in people with diabetes mellitus.
Patient-Derived Organoids of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma for Subtype Determination and Clinical Outcome Prediction
[Journal Of Gastroenterology] Researchers established patient-derived organoids for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and evaluated their application in subtype classification and clinical outcome prediction.
Glutamine-Mediated Epigenetic Regulation of cFLIP Underlies Resistance to TRAIL in Pancreatic Cancer
[Experimental & Molecular Medicine] Investigators demonstrated that glutamine endowed PDAC cells with resistance to tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) through KDM4C-mediated epigenetic regulation of cFLIP.
B-Glycine as a Marker for β Cell Imaging and β Cell Mass Evaluation
[European Journal Of Nuclear Medicine And Molecular Imaging] Researchers reported a non-invasive and quantitative imaging technique by using radiolabeled glycine mimics to assay islet function and monitor β cell mass changes in living animals.
