Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide with an overall five-year survival rate less than 7%. Accumulating evidence has revealed cancer preventive and therapeutic effects metformin, one most widely prescribed medications for type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, its role in pancreatic not fully elucidated. Herein, we aimed to further study metformin genetically engineered mouse models cancer. LSL-KrasG12D/+; Pdx1-Cre (KC)...

NAF-1 (nutrient-deprivation autophagy factor-1), which is an outer mitochondrial membrane protein, known to play important roles in calcium metabolism, antiapoptosis, and antiautophagy. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenolic compound, considered as potent anticancer agent. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying effects of resveratrol their mediation drug resistance pancreatic cancer remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that suppresses expression cells by inducing cellular reactive...

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal malignancy with mortality rate that closely parallels its incidence rate, and better understanding of the molecular cellular mechanisms associated invasion distant metastasis required. Heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) very highly conserved in eukaryotes regulates protective heat response. Here, we show HSF1 abnormally activated pancreatic cancer. The knockdown impaired migration epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) cancer cells vitro; however,...

Gemcitabine is a standard treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer patients but can cause chemoresistance during treatment. The chemoresistant cells have features of stem (CSCs). Resveratrol has been reported to overcome the resistance induced by gemcitabine. However, mechanism which resveratrol enhances chemosensitivity remains elusive. Here, we explored enhanced and role sterol regulatory element binding protein 1 (SREBP1) in gemcitabine-induced stemness.The cell lines MiaPaCa-2 Panc-1...

Activation of pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) initiates fibrosis in chronic pancreatitis and furnishes a niche that enhances the malignancy cancer (PCCs) ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Resveratrol (RSV), natural polyphenol, exhibits potent antioxidant anticancer effects. However, whether how RSV influences biological properties activated PSCs effects these changes on tumor remain unknown. In present study, we found impeded hydrogen peroxide-driven reactive oxygen species- (ROS-) induced...

Pancreatic stellate cells ( PSC s), a key component of the tumor microenvironment, contribute to invasion, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Osteopontin OPN ), phosphorylated glycoprotein, is overexpressed in pancreatic cancer. However, expression s its potential roles tumor–stroma interactions remain unclear. The present study first showed that highly expressed secreted activated driven by hypoxia, this process ROS ‐dependent manner; addition, was shown be involved ‐induced...

Abstract The existences of cancer stem cells in patients with pancreatic are considered as pivotal factors contributing to chemoresistance and disease relapse. Glypican‐4 (GPC4) is one the members glypicans family, which underlies human congenital malformations multiple diseases. However, its potential biological function still remains elusive. In this study, we first demonstrate that GPC4 was involved 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU) resistance stemness through comprehensive bioinformatical analysis....

Cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are found in various types of human cancer, including pancreatic possess elevated metastatic potential, lead to tumor recurrence and cause chemoradiotherapy resistance. Alterations cellular bioenergetics through the regulation 5' adenosine monophosphate‑activated protein kinase (AMPK) signaling may be a prerequisite stemness. Betulinic acid (BA) is well‑known bioactive compound with antiretroviral anti‑inflammatory has been reported exert anticancer effects on...

Sonic hedgehog (SHH) signaling is an important promotor of desmoplasia, a critical feature in pancreatic cancer stromal reactions involving the activation stellate cells (PSCs). Gremlin 1 widely overexpressed cancer-associated cells, including activated PSCs. In embryonic development, SHH potent regulator through interaction network. This subtle mechanism microenvironment remains to be fully elucidated. The present study investigated association between and SHH, effect cancer. expression...

Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently diagnosed in women. Increasing evidence suggests that circular RNA (circRNA) exerts critical functions BC progression. However, roles of circRNA septin 9 (circSEPT9) development and underneath mechanism remain largely unclear so far. In this work, levels circSEPT9, microRNA-149-5p (miR-149-5p) solute carrier family 1 member 5 (SLC1A5) were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Western blot was performed to check protein...
