Abstract
Aims
Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly metastatic malignant tumor of the digestive system. Drug resistance frequently occurs during cancer treatment process. This study aimed to explore the link between chemoresistance and tumor metastasis in PC and its possible molecular and cellular mechanisms.
Methods
A Metastasis and Chemoresistance Signature (MCS) scoring system was built and validated based on metastasis- and chemoresistance-related genes using gene expression data of PC, and the model was applied to single-cell RNA sequencing data. The influence of linker histone H1.2 (H1–2) on PC was explored through in vitro and in vivo experiments including proliferation, invasion, migration, drug sensitivity, rescue experiments and immunohistochemistry, emphasizing its regulation with c-MYC signaling pathway.
Results
A novel MCS scoring system accurately predicted PC patient survival and was linked to chemoresistance and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in PC single-cell RNA sequencing data. H1–2 emerged as a significant prognostic factor, with its high expression indicating increased chemoresistance and EMT. This upregulation was mediated by c-MYC, which was also found to be highly expressed in PC tissues.
Conclusion
The MCS scoring system offers insights into PC chemoresistance and metastasis potential. Targeting H1–2 could enhance therapeutic strategies and improve PC patient outcomes.
期刊介绍：
Drug Resistance Updates serves as a platform for publishing original research, commentary, and expert reviews on significant advancements in drug resistance related to infectious diseases and cancer. It encompasses diverse disciplines such as molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology, microbiology, preclinical therapeutics, oncology, and clinical medicine. The journal addresses both basic research and clinical aspects of drug resistance, providing insights into novel drugs and strategies to overcome resistance. Original research articles are welcomed, and review articles are authored by leaders in the field by invitation.
Articles are written by leaders in the field, in response to an invitation from the Editors, and are peer-reviewed prior to publication. Articles are clear, readable, and up-to-date, suitable for a multidisciplinary readership and include schematic diagrams and other illustrations conveying the major points of the article. The goal is to highlight recent areas of growth and put them in perspective.
*Expert reviews in clinical and basic drug resistance research in oncology and infectious disease
*Describes emerging technologies and therapies, particularly those that overcome drug resistance
*Emphasises common themes in microbial and cancer research
