However, its expression pattern in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains contradictory. In addition, its clinicopathologic and prognostic significance in this malignancy has not been elucidated. Methods: Expression of MMP15 was immunohistochemically detected in a tissue microarray of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from 95 patients of PDAC after surgery. Its expression pattern and relations with clinicopathologic factors and disease-specific survival (DSS) were then evaluated. Finally, its expression and prognostic value were measured in the on-line publically available database, GEPIA, using TCGA data. Results: In comparison of all samples and 75 paired ones, MMP15 expression in tumor tissues was all significantly higher than that in para-tumor ones (P = .037 and .016). Furthermore, tumoral MMP15 expression was associated with peri-neural invasion. Survival analysis showed that patients with high tumoral MMP15 expression had significantly poorer DSS than those with low MMP15 expression (P = .0059). In univariate and multivariate Cox regression tests, tumoral MMP15 expression was all significantly predictive for DSS. In the on-line publically available GEPIA database, MMP15 was also overexpressed in PDAC, but was not found to be prognostic. Conclusion: Our results indicated that MMP15 expression was elevated in operable PDAC and might have a prognostic impact.","PeriodicalId":92925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pancreatology","volume":"6 1","pages":"96 - 100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45630344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we review the recent progress in the field of molecular genetics and therapeutic targets of PanNETs. The key genomic alterations, including MEN1, ATRX/DAXX, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), DNA damage and repair associated genes, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and SSTRs, and epigenetic aberrations in PanNETs are discussed.

Therefore, this study aims to explore the expression of potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily H member 2 (KCNH2) in PC and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters and the related mechanisms. Methods: GEPIA database and immunohistochemical staining were used to analyze the difference in KCNH2 expression between PC and adjacent tissue in RNA and protein levels. Chi-squared test was used to evaluate the relationship between KCNH2 expression and clinicopathological features. The Cox regression model was used for multivariate analysis and univariate analysis. Histological diagnosis was performed according to World Health Organization (WHO) criteria to evaluate the relationship between KCNH2 expression and clinicopathological features. Results: KCNH2 expression was upregulated in PC compared with normal pancreatic tissue. In addition, the knockdown of KCNH2 inhibits PC cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial-mesenchymal transformation and promotes their apoptosis. In addition, clinical data showed that the abnormal expression of KCNH2 in PC was related to the tumor stage. Patients with high expression of KCNH2 had a poor prognosis.

We aimed to discuss the clinical characteristics, operation characteristics, and therapeutic effects of AIP patients who received surgical treatment based on retrospective analysis. Methods: The medical records of patients who underwent surgery at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2012 to July 2021 and whose postoperative pathology was AIP were collected. Clinical symptoms, laboratory examinations, imaging features, surgical information, and prognostic data were analyzed. Results: Nineteen patients with AIP (median age 60 years old, 14 males) underwent surgery, whose main indication for surgery was suspected of a malignant lesion (n = 18, 94.7%). Ten patients underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy, 8 underwent distal pancreatectomy, and 1 underwent total pancreatectomy, the pathological result of whom were all AIP. The main postoperative complication was pancreatic fistula (n = 11, 57.9%), and one patient (5.3%) underwent a second operation due to gastrointestinal anastomotic bleeding. One patient (5.6%) had a recurrence of AIP, 3 patients (16.7%) were treated with glucocorticoid after surgery, and one patient (5.6%) was treated with immunosuppressors. Conclusions: Differential diagnosis of AIP from pancreatic cancer is complex. Operation difficulty and complication incidence for patients with AIP were similar to pancreatic cancer patients. Although glucocorticoid is the first-line treatment for AIP, surgery may still be necessary for patients who are strongly suspected of a malignant lesion.","PeriodicalId":92925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pancreatology","volume":"6 1","pages":"43 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48070769","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
