Article Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a critical part of the RNA silencing machinery, are known to play important regulatory roles in cancer. However, the consequence of miRNA deregulation in cancer is unknown for many miRNAs. Here, we define that miRNAs, miR-17-5p, miR-132-3p/-212-3p, and miR-337-3p are significantly up-regulated in the pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) compared to the normal and benign tissues. Furthermore, by using PANC-1 cells, we demonstrate that overexpressed miR-337-3p and miR-17-5p/miR-132-3p/-212-3p can regulate executioner caspases-3 and -7, respectively. In addition, over-expression of miRNAs, especially miR-337-3p, attenuates tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) cytotoxicity in PANC-1 cells. Our findings unveil an important biological function for miRNAs up-regulated in PDAC in coordinately regulating caspases, potentially contributing to the malignant progression of PDAC.

SORBS1 Knockdown Resists S/G2 Arrest and Apoptosis Caused by Polyphyllin H-Induced DNA Damage in Pancreatic Cancer.

Department of Chinese Materia Medica and Natural Medicines, School of Pharmacy, The Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an, 710032, China.
Objectives: The Sorbin and SH3 domain containing 1 (SORBS1), a protein linked to insulin signaling CBL interaction, was investigated for its role in pancreatic cancer apoptosis. This study explored polyphyllin H (PPH)'s ability to restore SORBS1-knockdown-mediated repair functions.
Methods: PANC-1 cells were divided into Blank, overexpression (OE), and knockdown groups.
Background: Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1), an inflammation amplifier, is an emerging target in inflammation and oncology.
Objective: To test my hypothesis that pan-TREM-1 and macrophage-restricted TREM-1 blockades may differ in their efficacy in cancer and other inflammatory diseases.
Methods: Ligand-independent TREM-1 inhibitory peptides GF9 and GA31 (the latter in a form of macrophage-targeted lipopeptide complexes, GA31-LPC) were used as pan-TREM-1 and macrophage-restricted TREM-1 inhibitors, respectively, to test the hypothesis in multiple animal models of cancer, sepsis, pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis.
SLB-msSIM: A Spectral Library-Based Multiplex Segmented SIM Platform for Single-Cell Proteomic Analysis.

The Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Houston, Texas, USA.
Mass spectrometry (MS)-based single-cell proteomics, while highly challenging, offers unique potential for a wide range of applications to interrogate cellular heterogeneity, trajectories, and phenotypes at a functional level. We report here the development of the spectral library-based multiplex segmented selected ion monitoring (SLB-msSIM) method, a conceptually unique approach with significantly enhanced sensitivity and robustness for single-cell analysis. The single-cell MS data is acquired by a multiplex segmented selected ion monitoring (msSIM) technique, which sequentially applies multiple isolation cycles with the quadrupole using a wide isolation window in each cycle to accumulate and store precursor ions in the C-trap for a single scan in the Orbitrap.

Background: Autophagy, a conserved intracellular degradation process, plays dual roles in cancer, promoting survival under stress or mediating cell death through deregulated autophagy. Atypical cadherin FAT1 functions as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in a context-dependent manner. Our previous work identifies the oncogenic role of FAT1 in glioblastoma.

Background: Pancreatic cancer, characterized by aggressive proliferation and metastasis, is a lethal malignancy. The nightly hormone melatonin serves as a rhythm-regulating hormone, and is used to treat different cancers including pancreatic cancer.
Aim: To investigate how melatonin acts against human pancreatic cancer cell lines and analyze the biological processes that cause the observed effects.
