In order to elucidate the relationship between diabetes and PDAC, we investigated the glucose metabolism during tumorigenesis in the LSL-Kras<sup>G12D/+</sup>; LSL-Trp53<sup>R172H/+</sup>; and Pdx-1-Cre (KPC) mouse, a genetically engineered model of PDAC.
LSL-Kras(G12D/+); LSL-Trp53(R172H/+); Pdx-1-Cre (KPC) mice showed that ETS2 expression initially increased in fibroblasts during ADM and remained elevated through progression to PDAC.
We explored lncRNAs profilings in PanIN cell line (SH-PAN) isolated from Pdx-1-Cre; LSL-Kras (G12D/+) mice and PDAC cell line (DT-PCa) isolated from Pdx-1-Cre; LSL- Kras (G12D/+) ; LSL- Tp53 (R172H/+) mice by lncRNAs microarray, and detected expression of lncRNAs and genes in PDAC by Real-time PCR, Western blot, ChIP and immunohistochemistry.
In this study, we analyzed the morphological characteristics, molecular alterations, and biological behavior of pancreatic wild-type and neoplasia tissues, including analysis of PanIN cell line SH-PAN (isolated from Pdx-1-Cre; LSL-KrasG12D/+ mouse) and PDAC cell line DT-PCa (isolated from Pdx1-Cre; LSL-KrasG12D/+; LSL-Tp53R172H/+ mouse.
