由KRAS突变驱动的Acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM) 是胰腺管道腺癌 (PDAC) 发展的关键早期事件.
编程细胞死亡 (PCD) 途径在KRAS驱动的ADM和随后的PDAC进展中的作用尚未完全理解.

研究的目的:

调查细胞死亡调节器在KRAS驱动的ADM中的参与.
确定在PDAC启动过程中防止转化细胞被消除的分子机制.
评估针对PDAC中细胞存活的关键调节者的治疗潜力.

主要方法:

使用了转基因小鼠模型和初级细胞和有机体培养.
在KRAS驱动的ADM期间检查了编程细胞死亡 (PCD) 调节者的表达和活性.
研究了转化生长因子β激活激酶1 (TAK1) 在调节细胞存活和PCD中的作用.
评估了药理TAK1抑制对患者衍生PDAC有机体的影响.

主要成果:

在KRAS驱动的ADM过程中,PCD的关键调节者受到上调调节,使细胞死亡.
发现转化生长因子β激活激酶1 (TAK1) 抑制受体相互作用蛋白激酶1 (RIPK1) 介导的亡和亡,从而阻止转化细胞的清除.
药理上抑制TAK1成功诱导患者衍生PDAC有机体中的PCD.

Forced Transdifferentiation

Forced Transdifferentiation

Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

Interactions Between Signaling Pathways

Signaling cascades usually lack linearity. Multiple pathways interact and regulate one another, allowing cells to integrate and respond to diverse environmental stimuli.
Convergence and divergence, and cross-talk between signaling pathways
Two distinct signaling pathways can converge on a single functional unit, which may either be a single protein or a complex of proteins. The response is either functionally distinct or synergistic between the two pathways but different from the response...
