Abstract
Aims
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a highly lethal disease. Chemotherapy based on gemcitabine (GEM) remains the first-line drug for patients with advanced PDAC. However, GEM resistance impairs its therapeutic effectiveness. Therefore, identifying effective therapeutic targets are urgently needed to overcome GEM resistance.
Methods
The clinical significance of Tripartite Motif Containing 29 (TRIM29) was identified by exploring GEO datasets and TCGA database and its potential biological functions were predicted by GSEA analysis. The regulatory axis was established by bioinformatics analysis and validated by mechanical experiments. Then, in vitro and in vivo assays were performed to validate the roles of TRIM29 in PDAC GEM resistance.
Results
High TRIM29 expression was associated with poor prognosis of PDAC and functional experiments demonstrated that TRIM29 promoted GEM resistance in PDAC GEM-resistant (GR) cells. Furthermore, we revealed that circRPS29 promoted TRIM29 expression via competitive interaction with miR-770–5p and then activated MEK/ERK signaling pathway. Additionally, both in vitro and in vivo functional experiments demonstrated that circRPS29/miR-770–5p/TRIM29 axis promoted PDAC GEM resistance via activating MEK/ERK signaling pathway.
Conclusion
Our results identify the significance of the signaling axis, circRPS29/miR-770–5p/TRIM29-MEK/ERK, in PDAC GEM resistance, which will provide novel therapeutic targets for PDAC treatment.
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
