Taken together, our results demonstrate that TRIM59 may be a potential predictor for PC and promotes PC progression via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR-glycolysis signaling pathway, which establishes the rationale for targeting the TRIM59-related pathways to treat PC.
Besides, LINC01559 was revealed to be mainly in the cytoplasm of PC cells and therefore served as a ceRNA of Yes-associated protein (YAP) in PC cells via sponging miR-607.
Collectively, the data reveal that DANCR exerts its function by regulating miR-33b/MMP16 expression, implying an important role for a lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA functional network and suggesting a novel potential therapeutic target for PC.
AKT3 expression in PC tissues and cells was detected by qRT-PCR, luciferase report assay and Western blotting assay were used to verify the rationality of the target gene.
These findings provide preliminary evidences that LC as a natural DYRK1A inhibitor suppresses human pancreatic adenocarcinoma BxPC-3 cell proliferation and induces cell apoptotic, which might present new options and possibilities for targeted therapies in pancreatic cancer therapy.
In summary, this regulatory network of CD73 appears to represent a new molecular mechanism underlying PDAC progression, and the mechanistic interaction between miR-30a-5p, CD73, and TNFR2 may provide new insights into therapeutic strategies for pancreatic cancer.
This review summarizes current knowledge regarding GPR68-its expression, regulation, signaling pathways, physiological roles, and functions it regulates in human cancers (including prostate, colon and pancreatic cancer, melanoma, medulloblastoma, and myelodysplastic syndrome).
Furthermore, short hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated stable ITGA11 knockdown (shITGA11) in hPSCs significantly inhibited TGF-β- and PANC-1 CM-mediated activation at both gene and protein levels of extracellular matrix, cytokines, and adhesion molecules.
Our results indicate that ABCC3 inhibition with MCI-715 demonstrated strong antitumor activity and is well tolerated, which leads us to conclude that ABCC3 inhibition is a novel and promising therapeutic strategy for a considerable cohort of patients with pancreatic cancer.
Strikingly, Pds5b expression was positively associated with levels of Ptch2 in PC patient samples, suggesting that the Pds5b/Ptch2 axis regulates cell proliferation and invasion in PC cells.
GPX2 level in PC tissues, the levels of GPX2, β-catenin, Vimentin, Snail, epithelial-cadherin (E-cadherin), matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), MMP9, and Wnt2 in cells were determined.
