Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most malignant tumors with a dismal prognosis and no effective conservative therapeutic strategies. Although the F-box protein S-phase kinase associated protein 2 (SKP2) is highly expressed and regulates cell cycle progression in PDAC, alternative SKP2 functions in PDAC are unknown. Our data disclose a novel SKP2 function in PDAC cells and therefore define SKP2 as a molecular target.
Histone deacetylases (HDACs), especially the class I HDACs are highly expressed in PDAC, but little is known about HDAC Isoenzyme specific functions. Our data characterize a novel HDAC2 function in PDAC cells and point to a strategy to overcome TRAIL resistance of PDAC cells, a prerequisite to succeed with a TRAIL targeted therapy in clinical settings.
