Article Abstract

Background: Pancreatic carcinoma is one of the most malignant cancers globally. However, a systematic mRNA-miRNA-lncRNA/pseudogene network associated with the molecular mechanism of pancreatic cancer progression has not been described.

Results: The significant DEGs identified comprised 159 up-regulated and 92 down-regulated genes. According to the expression and survival analysis, three genes (COL12A1, APOL1, and MMP14) were significantly higher in tumor samples when compared with normal controls and their upregulation indicated a poor prognosis. Subsequently, 28, 17, and 11 miRNAs were predicted to target COL12A1, APOL1, and MMP14, respectively. The hsa-miR-26b-5p-COL12A1 axis showed a potential in suppressing the progression of pancreatic cancer. Moreover, 12 lncRNAs and 92 pseudogenes were predicted to potentially bind to the hsa-miR-26b-5p. Based on the results from expression and correlation analysis, NAMPTP1/HCG11-hsa-miR-26b-5p-COL12A1 competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) sub-network was associated with the prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Conclusions: In a word, we elucidate a new NAMPTP1/ HCG11-hsa-miR-26b-5p-COL12A sub-network in the progression of pancreatic cancer, which may serve as a promising diagnostic biomarker or effective therapeutic target for pancreatic cancer.

Materials And Methods: Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were first identified by mining GSE28735, GSE62452 and GSE41368 datasets. Functional enrichment analysis was conducted using the DAVID database. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was performed using the STRING database, and hub genes were identified by Cytoscape. Upstream miRNAs and pseudogenes /lncRNAs of mRNAs were forecast using miRTarBase, miRNet, and starBase. Expression, survival, and correlation analysis of genes, miRNAs, and pseudogenes /lncRNAs were validated using GEPIA, Kaplan-Meier, and starBase.

Minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomy is gaining success among surgeons also for the increasing use of robotic approach. Ideal candidates are patients with small, confined tumor and dilatated Wirsung duct which is a quite rare clinical conditions: in fact, most of minimally invasive pancreaticoduodenectomies are performed for periampullary cancer, easy to remove but with soft pancreatic remnant and tiny Wirsung duct. The result is the technical challenge of the pancreatico-enteric reconstructions.

Background: Docetaxel is the most common chemotherapy regimen for several neoplasms, including advanced OSCC (Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma). Unfortunately, chemoresistance leads to relapse and adverse disease outcomes.

Methods: We performed CRISPR-based kinome screening to identify potential players of Docetaxel resistance.

Background: Activin A/Smad signaling plays an important role in promoting cancer stemness and chemoresistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), however the precise regulation on the termination of this pathway has not been fully understood.

Methods: LncRNA SLC7A11-AS1 interacting proteins were identified through RNA pull-down followed by LC-MS/MS. The protein interaction was analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation.

The colon exhibits higher propensity for tumour development than ileum. However, the role of immune microenvironment differences in driving this disparity remains unclear. Here, by comparing paired ileum and colon samples from patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and healthy donors, we identified ileum-enriched CD160CD8 T cells with previously unrecognized characteristics, including resistance to terminal exhaustion and strong clonal expansion.
