Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive cancer with marked chemoresistance and a 5-year survival rate of 7%. The integrated stress response (ISR) cytoprotective pathway initiated in to exposure various environmental stimuli. We used pancreatic cells (PCCs) that are highly resistant gemcitabine (Gem) orthotopic mouse model investigate the role ISR Gem chemoresistance. induced eIF2 phosphorylation downstream transcription factors ATF4 CHOP PCCs, these effects occurred...
Abstract Studies have shown that the presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is associated with better prognosis. However, molecular mechanisms underlying these immune cell differences are not well delineated. In this study, analysis hematoxylin and eosin images from The Genome Atlas (TCGA) breast cancer cohort failed to show a prognostic benefit TILs TNBC, whereas CIBERSORT analysis, which quantifies proportion each type, demonstrated...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is often associated with overexpression of TGF-β. Given its tumor suppressor functions, it unclear whether TGF-β a valid therapeutic target for PDAC. Here, we found that proliferating pancreatic cancer cells (PCCs) from human PDAC patients and multiple murine models (mPDAC) exhibit abundant levels phosphorylated retinoblastoma 1 (RB) Smad2. TGF-β1 treatment enhanced proliferation PCCs isolated KrasG12D-driven mPDAC lacked RB (KRC cells). This mitogenic...

Abstract Background Cholangiocarcinoma is a rare gastrointestinal malignancy that arises within the intrahepatic, perihilar, and/or extrahepatic bile ducts. Individuals with cystic fibrosis are at increased risk for malignancies. The most common in colon cancer, but other malignancies also occur greater rates than general population. Case presentation We present case of rapidly progressive metastatic intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma an individual who was 5 months postpartum, incidentally...
Abstract Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which comprises 85% of pancreatic cancers, is the 4th leading cause cancer death in United States with a 5-year survival 7%. While human PDACs (hPDACs) are hypovascular, they also overexpress number angiogenic growth factors and receptors. Additionally, use anti-angiogenic agents murine models PDAC leads to reduced tumor volume, spread, microvessel density, improved survival. Nonetheless, clinical trials using therapy have been overwhelmingly...
Abstract Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly disease that projected to become the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths by 2030. PDACs are associated with high frequency KRAS mutations (95%) and overexpression many pro-angiogenic cytokines growth factors. Using genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM) we established in which oncogenic Kras combined loss RB (KRC), have determined arising these mice (mPDACs) harbor endothelial cells (ECs) sinusoidal-like vessels blood flow, as...
Abstract The purpose of this study was to explain a serendipitously discovered next generation sequencing (NGS) artifact. While reviewing clinical cases, we found case large deletion that also contained multiple missense mutations. This phenotype unknown several molecular pathologists in our group. We reviewed 46 cases with short insertions or deletions (InDels) (1-30 bases) FLT3 internal tandem duplications (ITDs) (6-183 solid hematologic malignancy processed NGS assay and identified...
