Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic pancreatitis is essential for induction of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma by K-Ras oncogenes in adult mice.

TL;DR: It is reported that selective expression of an endogenous K-Ras(G12V) oncogene in embryonic cells of acinar/centroacinar lineage results in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasias (PanINs) and invasive PDA, suggesting that PDA originates by differentiation of acINs or their precursors into ductal-like cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGF-β: Duality of Function Between Tumor Prevention and Carcinogenesis

TL;DR: Understanding the mechanisms of TGF-β dysregulation will likely reveal novel points of convergence between T GF-β and other pathways that can be specifically targeted for therapy, particularly in relation to transforming growth factor beta.
Journal ArticleDOI

Three dimensional collagen I promotes gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer through MT1-MMP-mediated expression of HMGA2

TL;DR: It is shown that the type I collagen allows PDAC cells to override checkpoint arrest induced by gemcitabine, and it is suggested that targeting MT1-MMP could be a novel approach to sensitize pancreatic tumors to gem citabine.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGFβ Signaling in the Pancreatic Tumor Microenvironment Promotes Fibrosis and Immune Evasion to Facilitate Tumorigenesis

TL;DR: It is suggested that, despite opposing the proliferation of some epithelial cells, TGFβ may promote pancreatic cancer development by affecting stromal and hematopoietic cell function, and the use of TGFBR inhibition to target components of the tumor microenvironment warrants consideration as a potential therapy.
