Multiple factors are involved in PDAC pathogenesis, including internal genetic alterations and external inflammation-related stimuli. Overflow of exocrine pancreatic enzymes caused by PDAC obstruction inevitably results in autolysis of surrounding normal cells and extracellular matrix, generating tissue damage-related inflammation; however, this process does not cause autolysis of PDAC cells. How tumor cells acquire resistance to pancreatic enzymatic digestion has been ignored for a long time. In this review, we discuss how PDAC cells mobilize gasdermin E, a pore-forming protein, to achieve resistance to autolysis by pancreatic digestive enzymes.","PeriodicalId":92925,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pancreatology","volume":"5 1","pages":"198 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45443853","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}

Recently, increasing evidence has suggested that exosomes are vital for mediating the elaborate interaction of highly heterogeneous cell clusters within the pancreatic tumor microenvironment, contributing to activating pancreatic stellate cells and cancer-associated fibroblasts, compromising immune cells, and enhancing angiogenesis. Besides their natural and intrinsic roles, exosomes may provide a novel potential way for pancreatic cancer management and therapy as well. Thus, exosomes not only mediate cellular communication during pancreatic cancer progression but also serve as a promising player in precise pancreatic cancer management and treatment.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of different peptides and chelators on the diagnostic performance of SSTR2 antagonists in well-differentiated NETs. Methods: In this prospective study, participants were equally randomized into 2 arms: arm A, participants would undergo a whole-body 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3 PET/CT scan on the first day and 68Ga-DOTA-LM3 PET/CT scan on the second day; arm B, participants would undergo a whole-body 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3 PET/CT scan on the first day and 68Ga-NODAGA-JR11 PET/CT scan on the second day. Biodistribution in normal organs, lesion detection ability, and tumor uptakes were compared within each arm. Results: A total of 40 participants (age, 49.5 ± 13.4, 21 men), 20 in each arm, were recruited in the study. In arm A, 68Ga-DOTA-LM3 showed lower background. However, the lesion detection ability (overall lesion detected, 445 vs 548; P = .005) and the lesion uptake (overall lesions SUVmax, 19.8 ± 17.2 vs 35.3 ± 28.8; P < .001) was significantly lower than those of 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3. In arm B, both 68Ga-NODAGA-LM3 and 68Ga-NODAGA-JR11 showed similar biodistribution and lesion uptake (SUVmax, 28.5 ± 23.8 vs 25.0 ± 20.0; P < .001) despite minor differences. The lesion detection ability was the same between these 2 tracers (overall lesion detected, 503 vs 503). Conclusions: The diagnostic performance of SSTR2 antagonists was sensitive to chelators.

The contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CECT)-based classification of IPN describes various types of IPN and will help to carry out surgical interventions for each subtype. Nevertheless, many challenges are still remaining during the treatment of ANP. Including the balance between endoscopic and surgical approaches, and the selection of optimal timing of surgical intervention for infected necrosis. In nowadays treatment scenario of ANP, the necessity for open surgery remains to be debated.
