SAE1 May Play a Pro-Carcinogenic Role in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Comprehensive Study Integrating Multiple Pieces

Abstract:
SAE1, a key factor in tumour development, has not been thoroughly examined in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), a cancer with high incidence and poor prognosis. We conducted a comprehensive study, integrating mRNA data, immunohistochemistry, CRISPR-modified cell line analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing to assess SAE1's role in PAAD. We also used ChIP-Seq to explore SAE1's transcriptional regulation and analysed clinical data, drug sensitivity and molecular docking models. SAE1 mRNA was significantly overexpressed in PAAD, with a substantial impact on cell proliferation and migration. Functional analyses linked SAE1 to cell cycle and DNA replication pathways, suggesting a role in PAAD development. Our study indicates that SAE1 may promote PAAD through cell cycle pathways, with FOXA1 potentially regulating SAE1's abnormal behaviour.

Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
