Research Abstract |
Overexpression of the AURKA and S100A4 genes and expressional suppression of the DUSP6 gene functions as the drivers of pancreatic carcinogenesis. In addition, knockdown of AURKA caused synergistic chemosensitivity with taxane. Restoration of DUSP6 caused suppression of AURKA via suppression of ETS-2. Further, expressional link of PRDM2 and VASH1 with S100A4 was found. Both MAPK and PI3K cascades are keys in endometrial carcinogenesis and regulation of these cascade are potentially useful for clinical managements.
