Tumor -Associated MUC1 Regulates TGF-β Signaling and Function in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma
2020-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) is one of the most lethal human cancers. Transforming Growth Factor Beta (TGF-β) is a cytokine that switches from a tumor-suppressor to a tumor promoter throughout tumor development, by a yet unknown mechanism. Tumor associated MUC1 (tMUC1) is aberrantly glycosylated and overexpressed in >80% of PDAs and is associated with poor prognosis. The cytoplasmic tail of MUC1 (MUC1-CT...
