1 MUC4 enhances gemcitabine resistance and malignant behaviour in pancreatic cancer cells expressing cancer-associated short O-glycans. gemcitabine mucin 4, cell surface associated Homo sapiens
2 MUC4 enhances gemcitabine resistance and malignant behaviour in pancreatic cancer cells expressing cancer-associated short O-glycans. o-glycans mucin 4, cell surface associated Homo sapiens
3 We found that MUC4 knockout cells possess less tumorigenicity in vitro and in vivo, which was further reduced in PDAC cells that express aberrant overexpression of truncated O-glycans. o-glycans mucin 4, cell surface associated Homo sapiens
4 Also, MUC4KO cells showed a further reduction of epidermal growth factor receptors (ErbB) and their downstream signaling pathways in truncated O-glycan expressing PDAC cells. o-glycan mucin 4, cell surface associated Homo sapiens
5 MUC4 knockout differentially regulates apoptosis and cell cycle arrest in branched and truncated O-glycan expressing PDAC cells. o-glycan mucin 4, cell surface associated Homo sapiens
6 Additionally, MUC4KO cells were found to be more sensitive to gemcitabine treatment. gemcitabine mucin 4, cell surface associated Homo sapiens
7 Taken together, our results indicate that MUC4 enhances the malignant properties and gemcitabine resistance in PDAC tumors that aberrantly overexpress truncated O-glycans via altering ErbB/AKT signaling cascades and expression of nucleoside transporters, respectively. gemcitabine mucin 4, cell surface associated Homo sapiens
