Background: As an oncogene, SETD8 can promote tumour growth and tumour cell proliferation. This study aims to reveal the relationship between SETD8 and ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer and its role in pancreatic cancer to provide a possible new direction for the comprehensive treatment of pancreatic cancer.
Methods: The downstream targets were screened by RNA sequencing analysis. Western blot, Real-time Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry showed the relationship between genes. Cell proliferation analysis and cell metabolite analysis revealed the function of genes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) assays were used to study the molecular mechanism.
Results: The potential downstream target of SETD8, RRAD, was screened by RNA sequencing analysis. A negative correlation between SETD8 and RRAD was found by protein imprinting, Real-time Quantitative PCR (qPCR) and immunohistochemistry. Through cell proliferation analysis and cell metabolite analysis, it was found that RRAD can not only inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells but also improve the level of lipid peroxidation of cancer cells. At the same time, chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis (CHIP) was used to explore the molecular mechanism by which SETD8 regulates RRAD expression. SETD8 inhibited RRAD expression.
Conclusions: SETD8 interacts with the promoter region of RRAD, which epigenetically silences the expression of RRAD to reduce the level of lipid peroxidation in pancreatic cancer cells, thereby inhibiting ferroptosis in pancreatic cancer cells and resulting in poor prognosis of pancreatic cancer.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the commonest urologic cancer worldwide and the leading cause of male cancer deaths in Nigeria. In Nigeria, orchidectomy remains the primary androgen deprivation therapy. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the active prostatic androgen, but its relationship with PCa severity has not been extensively studied in Africa.

Gene therapy with Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV) vectors requires knowledge of their tropism within the body. Here we analyze the tropism of ten naturally occurring AAV serotypes (AAV3B, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV9, AAVrh8, AAVrh10 and AAVrh74) following systemic delivery into male and female mice. A transgene expressing ZsGreen and Cre recombinase was used to identify transduction in a cell-dependent manner based on fluorescence.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) exhibits a high frequency of neural invasion (NI). Schwann cells (SCs) have been shown to be reprogrammed to facilitate cancer cell migration and invasion into nerves. Since extracellular vesicles (EVs) affect the tumour microenvironment and promote metastasis, the present study analysed the involvement of EVs from pancreatic cancer cells and their microenvironment in altering SC phenotype as part of the early events in the process of NI.

The development of resistance remains one of the biggest challenges in clinical cancer patient care and it comprises all treatment modalities from chemotherapy to targeted or immune therapy. In solid malignancies, drug resistance is the result of adaptive processes occurring in cancer cells or the surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME). Future therapy attempts will therefore benefit from targeting both, tumor and stroma compartments and drug targets which affect both sides will be highly appreciated.

Previous studies have found that dyslipidemia is a risk factor for pancreatic cancer (PC), and that lipid-lowering drugs may reduce the risk of PC. However, it is not clear whether dyslipidemia causes PC. The Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to investigate the causal role of lipid traits in pancreatic cancer and to assess the potential impact of lipid-lowering drug targets on pancreatic cancer.
