Abstract excerpt
Purpose: Understanding the mechanism of radioresistance could help develop strategies to improve therapeutic response of patients with PDAC. The SMAD4 gene is frequently mutated in pancreatic cancer. In this study, we investigated the role of SMAD4 deficiency in pancreatic cancer cells' response to radiotherapy.Experimental Design: We downregulated SMAD4 expression with SMAD4 siRNA or SMAD4 shRNA and...
