Article Synopsis
  • Insulin resistance (IR) is recognized as a key factor in the development of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and needs to be monitored, especially in overweight individuals, for prevention and early intervention.
  • Research indicates that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUC-MSCs) could be a promising treatment for IR, particularly in conditions like type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
  • The text discusses the mechanisms of HUC-MSCs, their clinical advantages and disadvantages, and their current applications in treating T2DM, while acknowledging that further research is needed.

MUC1, a membrane tethered mucin glycoprotein, is overexpressed in > 60% of human pancreatic cancers (PCs), and is associated with poor prognosis and enhanced metastasis. Here, we report the effect of silencing MUC1 expression on the growth, migration and invasive ability of pancreatic cancer cells, and explored its mechanisms. We observed that siRNA mediated suppression of the MUC1 expression significantly reduced invasive and migrative capability and induced apoptosis of the pancreatic cancer PANC-1 cells.
