Abstract

Today, pancreatic cancer (PC) remains a major health problem in the US. The fact that cancer stem cells (CSCs) become enriched in humans following anti-cancer therapy implicates CSCs as key contributors to tumor dormancy, metastasis, and relapse in PC. A highly validated CSC model (FGβ3 cells) was used to test a novel compound (PAWI-2) to eradicate CSCs. Compared to parental bulk FG cells, PAWI-2 showed greater potency to inhibit cell viability and self-renewal capacity of FGβ3 cells. For FGβ3 cells, dysregulated integrin β3-KRAS signaling drives tumor progression. PAWI-2 inhibited β3-KRAS signaling independent of KRAS. This is clinically relevant. PAWI-2 targeted the downstream TBK1 phosphorylation cascade that was negatively regulated by optineurin phosphorylation via a feedback mechanism. This was confirmed by TBK1 genetic knockdown or co-treatment with TBK1-specific inhibitor (MRT67307). PAWI-2 also overcame erlotinib (an EGFR inhibitor) resistance in FGβ3 cells more potently than bortezomib. In the proposed working model, optineurin acts as a key regulator to link inhibition of KRAS signaling and cell cycle arrest (G2/M). The findings show PAWI-2 is a new approach to reverse tumor stemness that resensitizes CSC tumors to d...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
