Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal malignancies. Desmoplastic stroma and metabolic reprogramming are two hallmarks of pancreatic cancer that support its malignant biological behaviors. However, the underlying mechanism by which the stroma maintain the redox balance remains unclear in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we demonstrated that the physical properties of the stroma could regulate the expression of PIN1 in pancreatic cancer cells. Moreover, we found that hard matrix-cultured pancreatic cancer cells induced the upregulation of PIN1 expression. Since PIN1 maintained redox balance via synergistic activation of NRF2 transcription, PIN1 promoted the expression of NRF2 to induce the expression of intracellular antioxidant response element (ARE)-driven genes. Consequently, the antioxidant stress ability of PDAC was increased, and the intracellular level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was decreased. Thus, PIN1 is expected to be an important target for the treatment of PDAC, especially PDAC with an exuberant desmoplastic stroma.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) typically occurs in an older patient population. Yet, early-onset pancreatic cancer (EOPC) has one of the fastest growing incidence rates. This study investigated the influence of age and tumor location on postoperative morbidity and mortality in a large, real-world dataset.

Background: Sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin-like lectins (SIGLECs) are widely expressed on immune cell surfaces, play an important role in maintaining immune homeostasis and regulating inflammatory responses, and are increasingly emerging as potential targets for tumor immunotherapy. However, the expression profile and crucial role of SIGLEC11 in gastric cancer (GC) remain unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the prognostic relevance of SIGLEC11 expression and its role in the immune microenvironment in patients with GC.

The intestinal microbiota is a key environmental factor in the development of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we report that, in the context of mild colonic inflammation, the microbiota protects against colorectal tumorigenesis in mice. This protection is achieved by microbial suppression of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Snhg9.
