AbstractBackgroundThe mechanism of pancreatic cancer(PA) is not fully understanded. In our last report, TRPM2 plays a promising role in pancreatic cancer. However, the mechanism of TRPM2 is still unknown in this dismal disease. This study was designed to investigate the role and mechanism of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer.MethodsTRPM2 overexpressed and siRNA plasmid were created and transfected with pancreatic cancer cell line(BxPC-3) to construct the cell model. We employed CCK-8, Transwell, scratch wound, and nude mice tumor bearing model to investigate the role of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer. Besides, we collected the clinical data, tumor tissue sample(TT) and para-tumor sample(TP) from the pancreatic cancer patients treated in our hospital. We analyzed the mechanism of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer by transcriptome analysis, Westernblot, and PCR.ResultsOverexpressed TRPM2 could promote pancreatic cancer in proliferation, migration, and invasion ability in no matter the cell model or nude mice tumor bearing model. TRPM2 level is highly negative correlated to the overall survival and progression-free survival time in PA patients, however, it is significantly increased in PA tissue as the tumor stage increases. The transcriptome analysis, GSEA analysis, Westernblot, and PCR results indicates TRPM2 is highly correlated with PKC/MAPK pathways.ConclusionTRPM2 could directly activate PKCα by calcium or indirectly activate PKCε and PKCδ by increased DAG in PC, which promote PC by downstream MAPK/MEK pathway activation.

Besides, we collected the clinical data, tumor tissue sample (TT) and para-tumor sample (TP) from the pancreatic cancer patients treated in our hospital. We analyzed the mechanism of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer by transcriptome analysis, western blot, and PCR. We blocked the downstream PKC/MEK pathway of TRPM2 to investigate the mechanism of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer by CCK8, scratch wound healing, and transwell assays. Overexpressed TRPM2 could promote pancreatic cancer in proliferation, migration, and invasion ability in no matter the cell model or nude mice tumor-bearing model. TRPM2 level is highly negative correlated to the overall survival and progression-free survival time in PA patients, however, it is significantly increased in PA tissue as the tumor stage increases. The transcriptome analysis, GSEA analysis, western-blot, and PCR results indicate TRPM2 is highly correlated with PKC/MAPK pathways. The experiments of PKC/MEK inhibitors added to TRPM2 overexpressed BxPC-3 cell showed that significant inhibition of PA cells happened in CCK8, transwell, and wound-healing assay. TRPM2 may directly activate PKCα by calcium or indirectly activate PKCε and PKCδ by increased DAG in PA, which promote PA by downstream MAPK/MEK pathway activation.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the fourth leading cause of cancer related death in western countries. The successful treatment of PDAC remains limited. We investigated the effect of Fraction B, which is a fraction purified from catfish (Arius bilineatus, Val.) skin secretions containing proteins and lipids, on PDAC biology both in-vivo and in-vitro. We report here that Fraction B potently suppressed the proliferation of both human and mouse pancreatic cancer cells in vitro and significantly reduced the growth of their relevant xenograft (Panc02) and orthotopic tumors (human Panc-1 cells) (p < 0.05). The Reverse Phase Protein Array (RPPA) data obtained from the tumor tissues derived from orthotopic tumor bearing mice treated with Fraction B showed that Fraction B altered the cancer stem cells related pathways and regulated glucose and glutamine metabolism. The down-regulation of the cancer stem cell marker CD44 expression was further confirmed in Panc-1 cells. CBC and blood chemistry analyses showed no systemic toxicity in Fraction B treated Panc-1 tumor bearing mice compared to that of control group. Our data support that Fraction B is a potential candidate for PDAC treatment.

Aim: Our study aimed at investigating how LINC01133 functions in gastric cancer (GC) progression. Materials & methods: Gain-of-function and loss-of-function approaches were applied to analyze the effects of LINC01133, microRNA-576-5p (miR-576-5p) and somatostatin (SST) on the biological behaviors of GC cells and in tumor-bearing nude mice. Results: GC tissues and cells showed low expression of LINC01133, and LINC01133 overexpression decreased malignant phenotypes of GC cells. Moreover, LINC01133 upregulated SST through binding to miR-576-5p. Overexpressing miR-576-5p or suppressing SST reversed the functions of LINC01133 in biological potentials of GC cells and tumor growth. Conclusion: LINC01133 overexpression may inhibit GC development by downregulation of miR-576-5p and upregulation of SST, which suggests new therapeutic targets for GC.
