Oncogene Expression Analysis with Alterations in pH in a Pancreatic Ductal Cell Line

The fourth leading cause of cancer-related death, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), has a 12% five-year survival rate. This disease has a poor ...

The progression of chronic pancreatitis (CP), an inflammatory disease of the pancreas, causes pancreatic stones to form within the pancreatic ductal lumen/parenchyma, which occurs via protein plug formation. Pain is the most common symptom that necessitates clinical attention, and pain relief is the therapeutic goal for these patients. Endoscopic therapy and surgery are complimentary forms of therapy for pain relief. This study was envisaged to clarify the mechanism by which protein plug/soft stones form in pancreatic ducts prior to undergoing calcification.

Alterations in the pH of pancreatic juice are associated with chymotrypsin C inactivation and lithostathine precipitation in chronic pancreatitis patients: a proteomic approach.
