Background: Pancreatic cancer is hard to diagnose and treat due to its asymptomatic development and early metastasis. Supplementary therapy including molecular targeted therapy is needed to improve the outcome of pancreatic cancer. The significance of interleukin 24 (IL24) and its receptors in pancreatic cancer were investigated in this study.
Materials And Methods: Quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was carried out in 200 patient samples of pancreatic cancer. Transcript and protein expression were investigated in pancreatic cancer cells. Impact of IL24 recombinant protein on cell functions was examined.
Results: High IL20R1 transcript expression was related to early T stage, and advanced N, and M stage. They collectively correlated with the survival of the patients. Treatment with IL24 inhibited cell growth, but its impact on migration varied depending on protein concentration.
Conclusion: IL20R1 correlated with prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer, and mediates pancreatic cancer cell growth and migration. It may be a potential biomarker for IL24 molecular-targeted therapy.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly malignant tumor with a notably poor response to therapy due to its immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) and intrinsic drug resistance. The oncolytic virus (OV) represents a promising therapeutic strategy capable of transforming the "cold" immunological profile of PDAC tumors to a "hot" one by reshaping the TME. 4-1BB (CD137), a crucial member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, plays a significant role in T-cell activation and function.

With the increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, cancer cells can avoid cell death and damage by up-regulating antioxidant programs. Therefore, it will be more effective to induce cell death by using targeted strategies to further improve ROS levels and drugs that inhibit antioxidant programs. Considering that dihydroartemisinin (DHA) can cause oxidative damage to protein, DNA, or lipids by producing excessive ROS, while, disulfiram (DSF) can inhibit glutathione (GSH) levels and achieve the therapeutic effect by inhibiting antioxidant system and amplifying oxidative stress, they were co-loaded onto the copper peroxide nanoparticles (CuO) coated with copper tannic acid (Cu-TA), to build a drug delivery system of CuO@Cu-TA@DSF/DHA nanoparticles (CCTDD NPs).

The Chansu injection (CSI), a sterile aqueous solution derived from Chansu, is applied in clinical settings to support antitumor and anti-radiation treatments. CSI's principal active components, bufadienolides (≥90%), demonstrate potential effects on pancreatic cancer (PDAC), but their underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the antitumor effects and pathways associated with CSI in PDAC.

Albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) nanoparticles have been proven effective in treating advanced pancreatic cancer. However, the clinical application of nab-PTX nanoparticles is often associated with suboptimal outcomes and severe side effects due to its non-specific distribution and rapid clearance. This study aims to develop a novel nanoplatform that integrates sonodynamic therapy (SDT) and chemotherapy to enhance treatment efficacy and reduce systemic side effects.

The expression of the transient receptor potential 1 (TRPA1) gene is increased in many solid tumours, and its function relates to inflammation, oxidative stress or the presence of toxic substances. However, little is known about the correlation of clinical parameters with patients' cancer stages, metastases and the degree of tumour infiltration by immune cells. We performed a bioinformatic analysis, using databases and public resources to investigate TRPA1 for many available samples.
