Concurrent PEDF deficiency and Kras mutation induce invasive pancreatic cancer and adipose-rich stroma in micePaul J Grippo
Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA
Gut 61:1454-64. 2012..Oncogenic Ras, the most common mutation in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), has similarly been shown to promote adipogenesis and premalignant lesions...
A high omega-3 fatty acid diet mitigates murine pancreatic precancer developmentMatthew J Strouch
Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois 60611, USA
J Surg Res 165:75-81. 2011..We assessed the effects of a diet rich in ω-3 fat on the development of pancreatic precancer in elastase (EL)-Kras transgenic mice and examined the effect of an ω-3 fatty acid on pancreatic cancer cells in vitro...
Deploying mouse models of pancreatic cancer for chemoprevention studiesPaul J Grippo
Robert H Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, 303 East Superior Street, Chicago, IL 60611, USA
Cancer Prev Res (Phila) 3:1382-7. 2010..Yet, arming the community of cancer investigators with a repertoire of models and the guidance to select relevant models that fit their research themes promises to produce findings that will have clinical relevance...
Visualization of mouse pancreas architecture using MR microscopyPaul J Grippo
Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois 60611, USA
Am J Pathol 179:610-8. 2011....
Alteration of strain background and a high omega-6 fat diet induces earlier onset of pancreatic neoplasia in EL-Kras transgenic miceEric C Cheon
Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA
Int J Cancer 128:2783-92. 2011..We herein introduce the EL-Kras B6 mouse model which presents with increased frequency of pancreatic neoplasia compared to EL-Kras F1 mice. The phenotype in EL-Kras F1 and FVB mice is promoted by a diet rich in ω-6 fatty acid...
MT1-MMP cooperates with Kras(G12D) to promote pancreatic fibrosis through increased TGF-β signalingSeth B Krantz
Department of Surgery, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, IL 60611, USA
Mol Cancer Res 9:1294-304. 2011..Overall, we show that the bona fide collagenase MT1-MMP paradoxically contributes to fibrosis by increasing TGF-β signaling and that targeting MT1-MMP may thus help to mitigate fibrosis...
Apigenin down-regulates the hypoxia response genes: HIF-1α, GLUT-1, and VEGF in human pancreatic cancer cellsLaleh G Melstrom
Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois 60611, USA
J Surg Res 167:173-81. 2011..The flavonoid apigenin exhibits anti-proliferative and anti-angiogenic activities. Our objective was to evaluate the effect of apigenin on hypoxia responsive genes important in pancreatic cancer cell proliferation...
Three-dimensional collagen I promotes gemcitabine resistance in pancreatic cancer through MT1-MMP-mediated expression of HMGA2Surabhi Dangi-Garimella
Division of Hematology Oncology, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois 60611, USA
Cancer Res 71:1019-28. 2011....
Tgfbr1 haploinsufficiency inhibits the development of murine mutant Kras-induced pancreatic precancerKevin Adrian
Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Cancer Res 69:9169-74. 2009..We conclude that Tgfbr1 signaling promotes the development of precancerous lesions in mice. These findings suggest that individuals with constitutively decreased TGFBR1 expression may have a decreased risk of pancreatic cancer...
Geminin is overexpressed in human pancreatic cancer and downregulated by the bioflavanoid apigenin in pancreatic cancer cell linesMohammad R Salabat
Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois 60611, USA
Mol Carcinog 47:835-44. 2008..In conclusion, our studies demonstrated that geminin is overexpressed in human pancreatic cancer and downregulated by apigenin which may contribute to the antitumor effect of this natural flavonoid...
Acinar-to-ductal metaplasia accompanies c-myc-induced exocrine pancreatic cancer progression in transgenic rodentsPaul J Grippo
Department of Surgery, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL 60611, USA
Int J Cancer 131:1243-8. 2012..Finally, focal ductal elements develop in some acinar cell carcinomas in Ela-c-myc transgenic rats, indicating that myc-associated acinar-to-ductal metaplasia is not restricted to the mouse...
Mast cell 5-lipoxygenase activity promotes intestinal polyposis in APCDelta468 miceEric C Cheon
Department of Surgery, Mount Sinai Hospital, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Cancer Res 71:1627-36. 2011..Together, our results establish a pro-tumorigenic role of hematopoietic 5LO in the immune microenvironment and suggest 5LO inhibition as an avenue for future investigation in treatment of colorectal polyposis and cancer...
