Pancreatic elastase IIIA and its variants are expressed in pancreatic carcinoma cells.

Abstract excerpt

Ninety percent of pancreatic cancers are classified as ductal adenocarcinoma and are not known to secrete pancreatic elastases of the acinar enzymes. In the present study, we investigated the expression and the changes in elastase genes expressed in pancreatic ductal carcinoma cells. The expression of elastase gene family molecules in pancreatic cancer cells was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain...
