| Research Abstract |
Pancreatic cancer is obstinate and results in a highly invasive and metastatic tumor phenotype that is a major obstacle to chemotherapy. We found that the pancreatic cancer cell lines exposed low concentration of gemcitabine triggered the cellular morphological change showing epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and up-regulated motility. These phenomenon are inhibited by GSK3beta inhibitor. We proposed a new strategy of inhibiting EMT-induced by chemotherapy by GSK3beta inhibiting drugs. In order to investigate the safety and antitumor response to this combination of GSK3beta inhibiting drugs, Investigator initiated phase I clinical trial are conducted with advanced pancreatic cancer. This research may contribute to the development of a new pancreatic cancer treatment.
