Extracellular Matrix Composition Modulates the Responsiveness of Differentiated and Stem Pancreatic Cancer Cells to Lipophilic Derivate of Gemcitabine

Stefania Forciniti et al.

Summary: The study utilized a new potential therapeutic prodrug C18GEM to treat PDAC, showing that PDAC CSCs were more sensitive to C18GEM, especially on collagen I. The mechanism of action of C18GEM was mainly through intracellular uptake via membrane nucleoside transporters and CD36, inducing more cell death and protective autophagy in the cells.

Tumor Microenvironment Features and Chemoresistance in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma: Insights into Targeting Physicochemical Barriers and Metabolism as Therapeutic Approaches

Tiago M. A. Carvalho et al.

Summary: PDAC has a poor prognosis due to the lack of early diagnosis, suitable biomarkers, and resistance to available therapies. The desmoplastic stroma in PDAC compromises treatments by reprogramming cellular metabolism, leading to impaired response to therapy. Understanding the mechanisms of PDAC resistance is crucial for improving patient outcomes.

The PDAC Extracellular Matrix: A Review of the ECM Protein Composition, Tumor Cell Interaction, and Therapeutic Strategies

Vincent M. Perez et al.

Summary: PDAC ECM, primarily consisting of collagens and other proteins, plays a crucial role in influencing tumor growth and microenvironment through biomechanical and biochemical signals, serving as both a barrier and nutrient source for tumors. Understanding the dichotomous nature of ECM in tumor biology has significant implications for therapeutic strategies targeting the PDAC ECM.
