Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive gastrointestinal cancer characterized by an extremely low survival rate because of early metastasis. Identifying satisfactory therapeutic targets associated with metastasis is crucial to improve the treatment effect of PDAC. In this research, we used stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture, 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride-assisted sample preparation method preparing protein sample and nano-reversed-phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry analysis to perform the comparative proteomics of two homologous hamster pancreatic cancer cell lines that are different in metastatic ability: PC-1.0 (highly metastatic) and PC-1 (weakly metastatic). Verifications are through immunohistochemistry on clinical human PDAC pathologic tissues as well as by Western blot of human pancreatic cancer cell lines. siRNA silencing methods were used to study the effect of molecules on invasion and metastasis of pancreatic cancer cell lines. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that a total of 141 differentially expressed proteins (82 upregulated and 59 downregulated in PC-1.0 cells) were identified showing obviously differential expression (>1.5-fold change). These differentially expressed proteins were involved in a number of different biologic functions, metabolic pathways, and pathophysiologic processes. Phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) and HSPE1 are the top two upregulated proteins, and PDIA3 and CALR are the top two downregulated proteins in PC-1.0 cells compared to PC-1 cells. PGAM1 and HSPE1 showed higher expressions in PDAC tissue with clinical metastasis and highly metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines PC-1.0 and Aspc-1. PDIA3 and CALR showed higher expressions in weakly metastatic pancreatic cancer cell lines PC-1 and Capan-2. The Western blot results were consistent with the MS quantification data. Silencing PGAM1 was found to decrease the migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cell lines with statistical significance, especially in highly metastatic PC-1.0 and Aspc-1 cell lines. These data indicated that PGAM1 may be a potential therapeutic target for PDAC metastasis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 29 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,663,600
of 25,382,440 outputs
Outputs from OncoTargets and therapy
#1,597
of 3,016 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#267,264
of 342,877 outputs
Outputs of similar age from OncoTargets and therapy
#60
of 96 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,382,440 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 10th percentile – i.e., 10% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,016 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.9. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 342,877 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 96 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
