Abstract Despite numerous studies on second-line therapies in metastatic pancreatic cancer, there is no randomized study evaluating the efficacy of gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel as a treatment. This aims to examine therapy. In this retrospective study, total 218 patients from 23 centers were included and median age 60.2 years. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS), secondary endpoints overall (OS), treatment based ECOG performance status (PS), tumor marker (CEA, CA 19 − 9) levels. with nab-paclitaxel, PFS 5.1 months (95% CI, 5.6 7.1), OS 8.6 7.3 10.0).

Aging is a multifaceted process influenced by hereditary factors, lifestyle, and environmental elements. As time progresses, the human body experiences degenerative changes in major functions. The external internal signs of aging manifest various ways, including skin dryness, wrinkles, musculoskeletal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative cancer. Additionally, cancer, like aging, complex disease that arises from accumulation genetic epigenetic alterations. Circadian clock dysregulation has recently been identified as an important risk factor for cancer development. Natural compounds herbal medicines have gained significant attention their potential preventing age-related diseases inhibiting progression. These demonstrate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-proliferative, pro-apoptotic, anti-metastatic, anti-angiogenic effects well circadian regulation.

The incidence pancreatic cancer also in United States, most this increase attributed to population’s aging process addition rise prevalence risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, smoking, alcohol intake. Most patients with present advanced unresectable or metastatic disease. Only a at an early stage localized disease, multidisciplinary approach required maximize survival outcomes. surgical option for surgery’s safety efficacy have been improved recent years due increasing use minimally invasive techniques. Moreover, systematic chemotherapy used had significant impact on survival. More recently, neoadjuvant therapy along radiation therapy, optimizing among those patients.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a leading cause of cancer mortality in the United States, presents significant treatment challenges due to its late diagnosis and poor prognosis. Despite advances, five-year survival rates remain dismally low, with only fraction patients eligible for potentially curative surgical interventions. This review aims comprehensively examine current landscape targeted therapies PDAC, focusing on recent developments precision medicine approaches. We explore various molecular targets, including KRAS mutations, DNA damage repair deficiencies, mismatch pathway alterations, rare genetic fusions. The discusses emerging therapies, such as PARP inhibitors, immune checkpoint novel agents, like RET NTRK inhibitors. analyze results key clinical trials highlight potential these approaches specific patient subgroups. Recent PDAC research have emphasized oncology, facilitated by next-generation sequencing identification epigenetic alterations. approach tailors treatments individual profiles, improving outcomes reducing side effects. Significant strides been made classifying into subtypes, enhancing therapeutic precision. mutations genes KRAS, along advancements small molecule offers new hope. Furthermore, targeting pathways immunotherapeutic strategies also show promising results.

Poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARylation) is a post-translational modification in which ADP-ribose added to substrate proteins. PARylation mediated by superfamily of ADP-ribosyl transferases known as PARPs and influences wide range cellular functions, including genome integrity maintenance, the regulation proliferation differentiation. We others have recently reported that SH3 domain-binding protein 2 (3BP2) plays role bone metabolism, immune system regulation, cytokine production. Additionally, has gained attention target for cancer treatment. In this review, we provide an overview PARylation, its involvement several signaling pathways related immunity, potential combination therapies with PARP inhibitors checkpoint inhibitors.

ABSTRACT Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) is a promising oncolytic (OV) against different malignancies, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). In this study, we examined the role of methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), catalytic subunit cellular writer complex that responsible for N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA modification, as potential host factor VSV replication in PDAC cells. METTL3 was previously shown to be upregulated PDAC, where it promotes cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and chemoresistance. The impact on life cycles viruses varies depending both type. Additionally, plays positive non-PDAC cells via m6A modification RNAs, which attenuates innate antiviral responses. 10 human lines uncovered two distinct outcomes. depletion did not affect with defective signaling, suggesting directly involved replication. contrast, dramatically inhibited functional signaling. We show result due RIG-I-dependent induction virus-independent, intrinsic state METTL3-depleted This marked by type-III (but type I or II) interferon secretion constitutive overexpression sensors [RIG-I (DDX58), MDA5 (IFIH1), LGP2 (DHX58)], transactivators (STAT1, IRF7, IRF9), diverse subset effectors, MX1, OAS1/2/3, IFIT1/3. IMPORTANCE Pancreatic deadly extremely challenging disease, making essential develop new treatment options improve patient survival rates. One approach use replication-competent “oncolytic viruses” designed specifically target destroy while sparing healthy ones. To create effective therapies cancer, crucial identify factors influence successful infection these viruses. Here, demonstrate protein METTL3, promote resistance chemotherapy, most tested lines. induces chronic inhibits viral Our study important understanding improving virus-based therapies.
