Abstract Background A growing number of studies have focused on investigating circRNAs as crucial regulators in the progression multiple cancer types. Nevertheless, biological effects and underlying mechanisms pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remain unclear. Methods Differentially expressed between cancerous tissue adjacent normal tissues were identified by RNA sequencing PDAC. Subsequently, vitro vivo functional experiments performed to investigate roles circNEIL3 PDAC tumour growth...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play an important role in the development and progression of various tumors, including pancreatic cancer (PC). Recent studies have shown that lncRNAs can 'act cis' to regulate expression its neighboring genes. Previously, we used microarray identify a novel lncRNA termed XLOC_000647 was down-regulated PC tissues. However, function remain unclear. The NLRP3 specimens cell lines were detected by quantitative real-time PCR. Transwell assays determine migration...

Pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and chronic pancreatitis (CP) are characterized by a desmoplastic reaction involving activated pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs). However, the mechanisms of PSC activation remain poorly understood. We examined whether epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) process might play role in activation. PSCs were isolated from rat pancreas using immunofluorescence immunocytochemistry. evaluated changes cell motility expression levels panel EMT-related genes during...

Long noncoding BRAF-activated RNA has been reported to be tightly associated with tumorigenesis and development in various types of cancers. However, the expression, biological function, modulatory mechanism pancreatic cancer remained unclear. In present work, we explored carcinogenic activity underlying on vitro. We identified that was upregulated tissues cell lines, related tumor metastasis stage. reinforces proliferation, invasion, migration PANC-1 SW1990 cells. Moreover, miR-195-5p...

Vasohibin‑2 (VASH2) is an angiogenic factor, and has been previously reported to be a cancer‑related gene, with cytoplasmic karyotypic forms. In the current study VASH2 expression in human breast cancer tissue adjacent non‑cancerous was investigated immunohistochemistry. MCF‑7 BT474 cells were transfected lentiviral constructs generate vitro overexpression knockdown models. addition, BALB/cA nude mice inoculated subcutaneously vivo models of knockdown. The effect on cell proliferation using...

Summary The treatment elements used for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) include surgical resection, systemic cytotoxic agents, and targeted drugs. For second- third-line therapies in PDAC, approximately 15% of patients have actionable mutations although only 2.5% receive matched but with a significant improvement survival around 16 months. the majority PDAC current most effective strategy is resection primary tumor combination chemotherapy. chemotherapy regimens order delivery...

Long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) have crucial function in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pancreatic cancer. It is necessary to comprehensively analyze the potential role of EMT-related lncRNA In present study, genomic data cancer from TCGA database were downloaded and we found 368 lncRNAs. According expression characteristics prognostic-related lncRNAs, all samples could be divided into two clusters with different clinical outcomes tumor microenvironments. Moreover, an eleven lncRNAs...

Abstract A novel antisense lncRNA NT5E was identified in a previous microarray that clearly up‐regulated pancreatic cancer (PC) tissues. However, its biological function remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to explore and clinical significance PC. The lncNT5E expression determined PC specimens cell lines. In vitro vivo studies detected the impact of depletion on proliferation, migration invasion. Western blotting investigated epithelial‐mesenchymal transition (EMT) markers. interaction between...
