Abstract The mechanisms responsible for radioresistance in pancreatic cancer have yet to be elucidated, and the suppressive tumor immune microenvironment must considered. We investigated whether radiotherapy-augmented Warburg effect helped myeloid cells acquire an immunosuppressive phenotype, resulting limited treatment efficacy of ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Radiotherapy enhanced tumor-promoting activity myeloid-derived suppressor (MDSC) cancer. Sustained increase lactate secretion, from...

Many individuals with cancer are resistant to immunotherapies. Here, we identify the gene encoding pyrimidine salvage pathway enzyme cytidine deaminase (CDA) among top upregulated metabolic genes in several immunotherapy-resistant tumors. We show that CDA cells contributes uridine diphosphate (UDP) pool. Extracellular UDP hijacks immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) through its receptor P2Y

Many types of human tumour cells overexpress the dual-specificity phosphatase Cdc25A. Cdc25A dephosphorylates cyclin-dependent kinase and regulates cell cycle, but other substrates their relevant cellular functions have yet to be identified. We demonstrate here that EGFR activation results in c-Src-mediated phosphorylation at Y59, which interacts with nuclear pyruvate M2 (PKM2). PKM2 S37, promotes PKM2-dependent β-catenin transactivation c-Myc-upregulated expression glycolytic genes GLUT1,...

Abstract In many types of cancer, tumor cells prefer to use glycolysis as a major energy acquisition method. Here, we found that the 18 fluoro-deoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT)-based markers were positively associated with expression programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2), both which indicate poor prognosis in patients pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, regulatory mechanism PD-L1 remains elusive. this study,...

Asymmetrical localization of transcripts coupled with localized translation constitutes an important mechanism widely deployed to regulate gene activity in a spatial manner. The conserved transmembrane protein Crumbs (Crb) is regulator epithelial polarity. However, it remains unclear how Crb targeted the apical domain. Here, we show that cytoplasmic dynein complex transports both and domain Drosophila melanogaster follicular cells (FCs). crb 3′ untranslated region (UTR) necessary sufficient...
