Trp53R172H and kmsg12d cooperate to promote chromosomal instability and widely metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma in mice

TL;DR: In this article, the authors defined the genetic requirements for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) and targeted concomitant endogenous expression of Trp53 R172H and Kras G12D to reveal the cooperative development of invasive and widely metastatic carcinoma that recapitulates the human disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cell death in pancreatic cancer: from pathogenesis to therapy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the molecular machinery of cell death, discuss the complexity and multifaceted nature of lethal signalling in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells, and highlight the challenges and opportunities for activating cell death pathways through precision oncology treatments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Autophagy, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and necroptosis in tumor immunotherapy

TL;DR: In this article , a review summarizes the multilevel relationship between antitumor immunity and non-apoptotic regulated cell death (RCD), including autophagy, ferroptosis and necroptosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tumor-Associated Macrophages in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Origin, Polarization, Function, and Reprogramming

TL;DR: In this article, the authors comprehensively reviewed the latest researches on the origin, polarization, functions, and reprogramming of TAMs in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Immune cytolytic activity stratifies molecular subsets of human pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: Examination of the immune landscape of PDA as it relates to aspects of tumor biology suggests that intrinsic oncogenic processes drive immune inactivity in human PDA, highlighting the potential importance of immune checkpoints other than PD-L1/PD-1 as therapeutic targets in this lethal disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

IFNγ and CCL2 Cooperate to Redirect Tumor-Infiltrating Monocytes to Degrade Fibrosis and Enhance Chemotherapy Efficacy in Pancreatic Carcinoma

TL;DR: It is reported that CD40 agonists improve chemotherapy efficacy in pancreatic carcinoma by redirecting tumor-infiltrating monocytes/macrophages to induce fibrosis degradation that is dependent on MMPs.
Journal ArticleDOI

CXCR2-Dependent Accumulation of Tumor-Associated Neutrophils Regulates T-cell Immunity in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma.

TL;DR: Prominent expression of a neutrophil gene signature in a subset of human pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDA) is reported, highlighting the potential utility of targeting this axis as a novel therapy for this deadly disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of T-cell Receptors Targeting KRAS-Mutated Human Tumors

TL;DR: The success of adoptive transfer of TCR-engineered T cells against melanoma and other cancers supports clinical trials with these T cells that recognize mutated KRAS in patients with a variety of common cancer types.
