Cdk4/6 Inhibition Induces Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition and Enhances Invasiveness in Pancreatic Cancer Cells
6 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activation of Cyclin D-Cdk4/6 signaling pathway is commonly found in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Here, we show that PD-0332991, a highly specific inhibitor for Cdk4 and Cdk6, exerted growth inhibitory effects on three human PDAC cell lines. Microarray analysis revealed that PD-0332991 downregulated cell-cycle-related genes, but upregulated genes implicated in extracellular matrix (ECM)...
