          Abstract

          The mechanism of pancreatic cancer (PA) is not fully understanded. In our last report, TRPM2 plays a promising role in pancreatic cancer. However, the mechanism of TRPM2 is still unknown in this dismal disease. This study was designed to investigate the role and mechanism of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer. TRPM2 overexpressed and siRNA plasmid were created and transfected with pancreatic cancer cell line (BxPC-3) to construct the cell model. We employed CCK-8, Transwell, scratch wound, and nude mice tumor-bearing model to investigate the role of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer. Besides, we collected the clinical data, tumor tissue sample (TT) and para-tumor sample (TP) from the pancreatic cancer patients treated in our hospital. We analyzed the mechanism of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer by transcriptome analysis, western blot, and PCR. We blocked the downstream PKC/MEK pathway of TRPM2 to investigate the mechanism of TRPM2 in pancreatic cancer by CCK8, scratch wound healing, and transwell assays. Overexpressed TRPM2 could promote pancreatic cancer in proliferation, migration, and invasion ability in no matter the cell model or nude mice tumor-bearing model. TRPM2 level is highly negative correlated to the overall survival and progression-free survival time in PA patients, however, it is significantly increased in PA tissue as the tumor stage increases. The transcriptome analysis, GSEA analysis, western-blot, and PCR results indicate TRPM2 is highly correlated with PKC/MAPK pathways. The experiments of PKC/MEK inhibitors added to TRPM2 overexpressed BxPC-3 cell showed that significant inhibition of PA cells happened in CCK8, transwell, and wound-healing assay. TRPM2 may directly activate PKCα by calcium or indirectly activate PKCε and PKCδ by increased DAG in PA, which promote PA by downstream MAPK/MEK pathway activation.

          Cancer statistics, 2018

          Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the numbers of new cancer cases and deaths that will occur in the United States and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival. Incidence data, available through 2014, were collected by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program; the National Program of Cancer Registries; and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. Mortality data, available through 2015, were collected by the National Center for Health Statistics. In 2018, 1,735,350 new cancer cases and 609,640 cancer deaths are projected to occur in the United States. Over the past decade of data, the cancer incidence rate (2005-2014) was stable in women and declined by approximately 2% annually in men, while the cancer death rate (2006-2015) declined by about 1.5% annually in both men and women. The combined cancer death rate dropped continuously from 1991 to 2015 by a total of 26%, translating to approximately 2,378,600 fewer cancer deaths than would have been expected if death rates had remained at their peak. Of the 10 leading causes of death, only cancer declined from 2014 to 2015. In 2015, the cancer death rate was 14% higher in non-Hispanic blacks (NHBs) than non-Hispanic whites (NHWs) overall (death rate ratio [DRR], 1.14; 95% confidence interval [95% CI], 1.13-1.15), but the racial disparity was much larger for individuals aged <65 years (DRR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.29-1.32) compared with those aged ≥65 years (DRR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.06-1.09) and varied substantially by state. For example, the cancer death rate was lower in NHBs than NHWs in Massachusetts for all ages and in New York for individuals aged ≥65 years, whereas for those aged <65 years, it was 3 times higher in NHBs in the District of Columbia (DRR, 2.89; 95% CI, 2.16-3.91) and about 50% higher in Wisconsin (DRR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.56-2.02), Kansas (DRR, 1.51; 95% CI, 1.25-1.81), Louisiana (DRR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.38-1.60), Illinois (DRR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.39-1.57), and California (DRR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.38-1.54). Larger racial inequalities in young and middle-aged adults probably partly reflect less access to high-quality health care. CA Cancer J Clin 2018;68:7-30. © 2018 American Cancer Society.
