Identifying and targeting key driver genes for collagen production within the 11q13/14 breast cancer amplicon

D. Araiza-Olivera, T. Y. Prudnikova, C. Uribe-Alvarez, K. Q. Cai, J. Franco-Barraza, J. M. Dones, R. Raines, J. Chernoff

This study identifies P4HA3 and SERPINH1 as key driver genes for collagen production in IntClust-2 breast cancer, showing their role in cell viability, proliferation, and migration, and demonstrates that targeting these genes can reduce tumor growth.

Pulsed low-dose-rate radiation (PLDR) reduces the tumor-promoting responses induced by conventional chemoradiation in pancreatic cancer-associated fibroblasts

J. Franco-Barraza, T. Luong, J. K. Wong, K. Raghavan, E. Handroff, D. B. Vendramini-Costa, R. Francescone, J. C. Gardiner, J. E. Meyer, E. Cukierman

This study shows that pulsed low-dose-rate radiation combined with chemotherapy shifts pancreatic cancer-associated fibroblasts from tumor-promoting to tumor-suppressing, reducing desmoplasia and improving neoadjuvant therapy.

Trogocytosis of cancer-associated fibroblasts promotes pancreatic cancer growth and immune suppression via phospholipid scramblase anoctamin 6 (ANO6).

C. Ogier, A. M. Charles Solomon, Z. Lu, L. Recoules, A. Klochkova, L. Gabitova-Cornell, B. Bayarmagnai, D. Restifo, A. Surumbayeva, D. B. Vendramini-Costa, A. Deneka, R. Francescone, A. C. Lilly, A. Sipman, J. C. Gardiner, , I. Astsaturov

This study identifies ANO6-mediated trogocytosis as a mechanism by which CAFs transfer lipids to PDAC cells, promoting tumor growth and immune suppression.

Cholesterol deprivation induces TGFβ signaling to promote basal differentiation in pancreatic cancer

L. G. Cornell, S. Peri, D. Restifo, A. Klochkova, T. R. Hartman, A. M. O'Reilly, R. Francescone, J. Franco-Barraza, N. Shah, E. Nicolas, E. A. Handorf, K. Q. Cai, A. Mazitova, I. Sloma, R. Chiaverelli, , I. Astsaturov

The paper shows that cholesterol deprivation activates TGFβ signaling, promoting basal differentiation in pancreatic cancer by stabilizing the TGFβ receptor.
