Stimulation of mice dorsal root ganglion neurons (DRGNs) activity by human pancreatic cancer (PanCa) cell line Mia PaCa-2 and its potential molecule mechanism has been investaged. DRGNs were cultured alone or along with the MIA PaCa-2. The effects of MIA PaCa-2 to DRGNs were determined by neurofilament (NF) immunocytochemical and Nissl staining. ELISA was used to detect the concentration of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in the culture supernatant. Cyton size, neurite outgrowth and neuronal activity in the experimental group were greater than in the control groups. However, the concentration of IGF-1 in the supernatants was not significantly different from those in the blank and non-cultured medium groups. In the presence of MIA PaCa-2 cell line, cyton size, neurite outgrowth and neuronal activity were enhanced, which may provide more routes for the invasion of cancer cells along nerves.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), the most common pancreatic malignancy, has a dismal 5-year survival rate, making palliative chemotherapy the only treatment option. Targeted therapy has limited efficacy in PDAC, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic approaches. The inducible stress-response protein, haem oxygenase-1 (HMOX1), has been implicated in treatment failure in PDAC.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has an extremely poor prognosis, due in part to early invasion and metastasis, which in turn involves epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of the cancer cells. Prompted by the discovery that two PDAC cell lines of the quasi-mesenchymal subtype (PANC-1, MIA PaCa-2) exhibit neuroendocrine differentiation (NED), we asked whether NED is associated with EMT. Using real-time PCR and immunoblotting, we initially verified endogenous expressions of various NED markers, i.

The condition of cellular senescence has specific features, including an altered lipid metabolism. Delta-9 desaturase (Δ9) catalyzes the conversion of saturated fatty acids, such as palmitic acid and stearic acid, into their monounsaturated forms, palmitoleic and oleic acid, respectively. Δ9 activity is important for most lipid functions, such as membrane fluidity, lipoprotein metabolism and energy storage.

Background: Methionine restriction (MR) has been demonstrated to exhibit anti-tumor effects in various types of cancer, including pancreatic cancer (PC). However, the detailed mechanism induced by MR remains still unclear. This study aims to reveal the underlying mechanism of MR on PC by proteomic analysis.
