Cysteine (Cys) as a crucial precursor for intracellular glutathione (GSH) synthesis, plays an important role in the redox regulation in ferroptosis, Therefore, evaluating intracellular Cys levels is worthy to better understand ferroptosis-related physiological process. In this work, we constructed a novel NIR coumarin-derived fluorescent probe (NCDFP-Cys) based on a dual-ICT system, the NCDFP-Cys can show fluorescence turn-on response at 717 nm toward Cys over other amino acids, and possess large Stokes shift (Δλ = 167 nm), low detection limit, hypotoxicity. More significantly, NCDFP-Cys has been utilized to monitor the intracellular Cys fluctuation in pancreatic cancer cells during ferroptosis induced by Erastin and RSL3 respectively, and revealing the difference of Cys levels changes in different activator-triggered ferroptosis pathways.

Since the discovery of the Musashi (MSI) protein, its ability to affect the mitosis of Drosophila progenitor cells has garnered significant interest among scientists. In the following 20 years, it has lived up to expectations. A substantial body of evidence has demonstrated that it is closely related to the development, metastasis, migration, and drug resistance of malignant tumors.

Introduction: Pancreatic cancer arising in the context of BRCA predisposition may benefit from poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. We analyzed real-world data on the impact of olaparib on survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer patients harboring germline BRCA mutations in Italy, where olaparib is not reimbursed for this indication.
Methods: Clinico/pathological data of pancreatic cancer patients with documented BRCA1-2 germline pathogenic variants who had received first-line chemotherapy for metastatic disease were collected from 23 Italian oncology departments and the impact of olaparib exposure on overall survival (OS) was analyzed.

Isoferulic acid (IA), a derivative of cinnamic acid, is derived from Danshen and exhibits anticancer properties by disrupting cancer cell activities. However, its role in pancreatic cancer, the "king of cancer", was unknown. In this study, pancreatic cancer cells were subjected to treatment with IA (6.

: Alpha radionuclide therapy has emerged as a promising novel strategy for cancer treatment; however, the therapeutic potential of Ac-labeled peptides in pancreatic cancer remains uninvestigated. : In the cytotoxicity study, tumor cells were incubated with Ac-DOTA-RGD. DNA damage responses (γH2AX and 53BP1) were detected using flowcytometry or immunohistochemistry analysis.
