ANOPHTHALMIA AND PULMONARY HYPOPLASIA 		0.010 Biomarker disease BEFREE We show that accumulation of the autophagy substrate p62/SQSTM1 in stressed Kras<sup>G12D</sup> acinar cells is associated with PDAC development and maintenance of malignancy in human cells and mice. p62 accumulation promotes neoplastic progression by controlling the NRF2-mediated induction of MDM2, which acts through p53-dependent and -independent mechanisms to abrogate checkpoints that prevent conversion of differentiated acinar cells to proliferative ductal progenitors. 29153842 2017
