Oncogenic K-ras drives cell cycle progression and phenotypic conversion of primary pancreatic duct epithelial cells.
We have established a primary pancreatic duct epithelial cell culture (PDEC) system to investigate the relationship between oncogenic activation of K-ras and pancreatic ductal tumorigenesis. We have found that the acute introduction of physiological levels of oncogenic K-ras (K-rasV12) into quiescent PDECs stimulates S-phase entry and induces a pronounced increase in cell size. Both effects are...

Z Jr. CFTR expression but not Cl-transport is involved in the stimulatory effect of bile acids on apical Cl-/HCO 3-exchange activity in human pancreatic duct cells. pancreatic duct cells using a Sendai virus vector. A new experimental method to study the acid/base transporters and their regulation in lacrimal gland ductal epithelia.
متن کاملEpithelial-Myoepithelial Carcinoma of the Palate: Report of a Case and Review of the Literatures
Epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma (EMC) is considered as a rare malignant salivary gland neoplasm with good prognosis, low recurrence rate and rare metastasis. Here we present a case of epithelial-myoepithelial carcinoma in a 42-year-old female with a swelling of 3-year duration in her palate. Histopathologic evaluation of the lesion demonstrated a well-circumscribed, biphasic salivary gland t...
متن کاملAcinar-to-ductal metaplasia in pancreatic cancer development.
Ductal adenocarcinoma is by far the most frequent tumor of the pancreas. Although pancreatic cancer cells share substantial characteristics with pancreatic duct cells, the origin of these cancer cells is still a matter of debate. Progressive changes in the ductal epithelium range from non-papillary to papillary hyperplasia, with little or no development of atypical or dysplastic epithelial lesi...
متن کاملNovel mechanism of cytokine-induced disruption of epithelial barriers
The ductal epithelium plays a key role in physiological secretion of pancreatic enzymes into the digestive system. Loss of barrier properties of the pancreatic duct may contribute to the development of pancreatitis and metastatic dissemination of pancreatic tumors. Proinflammatory cytokines are essential mediators of pancreatic inflammation and tumor progression; however, their effects on the i...
