Presence of Somatic Mutations in Most Early-Stage Pancreatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia

TLDR
It is shown that more than 99% of the earliest-stage, lowest-grade, pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasm-1 lesions contain mutations in KRAS, p16/CDKN2A, GNAS, or BRAF, which could improve the understanding of the development and progression of these premalignant lesions.

Identification of Sox9-Dependent Acinar-to-Ductal Reprogramming as the Principal Mechanism for Initiation of Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma

TL;DR: It is suggested that ductal and stem-like centroacinar cells are surprisingly refractory to oncogenic transformation, whereas acinar cells readily form PDA precursor lesions with ductal features, and formation of acinar-derived premalignant lesions depends on ectopic induction of the ductal gene Sox9.
Journal ArticleDOI

KRAS: feeding pancreatic cancer proliferation

TL;DR: A number of studies have shown that oncogenic KRAS plays a central role in controlling tumor metabolism by orchestrating multiple metabolic changes including stimulation of glucose uptake, differential channeling of glucose intermediates, reprogrammed glutamine metabolism, increased autophagy, and macropinocytosis.

Oncogenic KRAS signalling in pancreatic cancer

TL;DR: Recent advances in oncogenic KRAS signalling are reviewed and how these might benefit PDAC treatment in the future are discussed.

Circulating Mutant DNA to Assess Tumor Dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a highly sensitive approach to quantify circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in body samples of patients was applied to reliably monitor tumor dynamics in subjects with cancer, especially those who are undergoing surgery or chemotherapy.
