Background: KIAA1199 (also known as CEMIP or HYBID), a newly identified protein involved in hyaluronan degradation, has been suggested to play a critical role in cancer progression. The aim of this study was to investigate the expression and functional significance of KIAA1199 in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Methods: Using quantitative real-time RT-PCR, we analyzed KIAA1199 mRNA expression in 6 PDAC cell lines and frozen tissues from 14 patients with PDAC. We also used immunohistochemistry to analyze KIAA1199 protein expression in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues from 98 patients with PDAC. The KIAA1199 expression pattern was then correlated with clinicopathological variables and patient outcome. The effect of KIAA1199 on migratory ability of PDAC cells was determined by KIAA1199 knockdown with small-interfering RNA (siRNA).

Results: The KIAA1199 mRNA expression was significantly higher in PDAC tissues than in the corresponding non-tumor tissues (P < 0.0001). Immunohistochemical analysis revealed high expression of KIAA1199 in 26 (26.5%) of 98 PDAC tissues. The overall survival was significantly shorter in patients with high KIAA1199 expression than in patients with low KIAA1199 expression (P = 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, high KIAA1199 expression (P = 0.003) and UICC stage (P = 0.003) were independent factors predicting poor prognosis. Furthermore, the KIAA1199 mRNA expression was higher in most PDAC cell lines and siRNA knockdown of KIAA1199 resulted in decreased migration.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that overexpression of KIAA1199 may contribute to increased migration of PDAC cells and predict shorter survival after surgical resection.

The optimal surgical indication for intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) remains highly contentious. We aimed to determine the preoperative predictive factors of malignancy and independent prognostic factors in patients with IPMN who underwent curative-intent resection. In this study, 104 patients with a pathological diagnosis of IPMN who underwent curative-intent resection were included.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a disease with poor prognosis due to diagnostic and therapeutic limitations. We previously identified cystatin A (CSTA) as a PDAC biomarker and have conducted the present study to investigate the antitumor effects of CSTA. PDAC murine models were established with genetically modified PAN02 tumor cell lines to evaluate the antitumor immune response.

Background And Aims: Enzyme insufficiency (EPI) is common in chronic pancreatitis (CP), pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and after pancreatic resection. 40%-50% of CP patients and 70%-80% of PDAC patients develop EPI. 1/3rd of these patients are prescribed Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT), often at an inadequate dose, with evidence that this leads to increased morbidity and mortality.

Certepetide (aka LSTA1 and CEND-1) is a novel cyclic tumor-targeting internalizing arginyl glycylaspartic acid peptide being developed to treat solid tumors. Certepetide is designed to overcome existing challenges in treating solid tumors by delivering co-administered anticancer drugs into the tumor while selectively depleting immunosuppressive T cells, enhancing cytotoxic T cells in the tumor microenvironment, and inhibiting the metastatic cascade. A population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis was conducted to characterize the concentration-time profile of patients with metastatic exocrine pancreatic cancer receiving certepetide in combination with nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine, and to investigate the effects of clinically relevant covariates on PK parameters.

Patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma survive longer if disease spreads to the lung but not the liver. Here we generated overlapping, multi-omic datasets to identify molecular and cellular features that distinguish patients whose disease develops liver metastasis (liver cohort) from those whose disease develops lung metastasis without liver metastases (lung cohort). Lung cohort patients survived longer than liver cohort patients, despite sharing the same tumor subtype.
