Abstract
BACKGROUND New-onset diabetes represent a high-risk cohort to screen for pancreatic cancer. GOALS Develop a machine model to predict pancreatic cancer among patients with new-onset diabetes. STUDY A retrospective cohort of patients with new-onset diabetes was assembled from multiple health care networks in the United States. An XGBoost machine learning model was designed from a portion of this cohort (the training set) and tested on the remaining part of the cohort (the test set). Shapley values were used to explain the XGBoost's model features. Model performance was compared with 2 contemporary models designed to predict pancreatic cancer among patients with new-onset diabetes. RESULTS In the test set, the XGBoost model had an area under the curve of 0.80 (0.76 to 0.85) compared with 0.63 and 0.68 for other models. Using cutoffs based on the Youden index, the sensitivity of the XGBoost model was 75%, the specificity was 70%, the accuracy was 70%, the positive predictive value was 1.2%, and the negative predictive value was >99%. The XGBoost model obtained a positive predictive value of at least 2.5% with a sensitivity of 38%. The XGBoost model was the only model that detected at least 50% of patients with cancer one year after the onset of diabetes. All 3 models had similar features that predicted pancreatic cancer, including older age, weight loss, and the rapid destabilization of glucose homeostasis. CONCLUSION Machine learning models isolate a high-risk cohort from those with new-onset diabetes at risk for pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
The endocrine and exocrine compartments of the pancreas are spatially related but functionally distinct. Multiple diseases affect both compartments, including type 1 diabetes (T1D), pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis, and pancreatic cancer. To better understand how the exocrine pancreas changes with age, obesity, and diabetes, we performed a systematic analysis of well-preserved tissue sections from the pancreatic head, body, and tail of organ donors with T1D (n = 20) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) (n = 25) and donors with no diabetes (ND; n = 74). Among ND donors, we found that the incidence of acinar-to-ductal metaplasia (ADM), angiopathy, and pancreatic adiposity increased with age, and ADM and adiposity incidence also increased with BMI. Compared with age- and sex-matched ND organs, T1D pancreata had greater rates of acinar atrophy and angiopathy, with fewer intralobular adipocytes. T2D pancreata had greater rates of ADM and angiopathy and a higher total number of T lymphocytes, but no difference in adipocyte number, compared with ND organs. Although total pancreatic fibrosis was increased in both T1D and T2D, the patterns were different, with periductal and perivascular fibrosis occurring more frequently in T1D pancreata and lobular and parenchymal fibrosis occurring more frequently in T2D. Thus, the exocrine pancreas undergoes distinct changes as individuals age or develop T1D or T2D. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract
Type II diabetes is associated with cancer risk in the general population but has not been well studied as a risk factor for subsequent malignancies among cancer survivors. We investigated the association between diabetes and subsequent cancer risk among older (66-84 years), 1-year breast cancer survivors within the linked Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER)-Medicare database using Cox regression analyses to quantify hazard ratios (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Among 133 324 women, 29.3% were diagnosed with diabetes before or concurrent with their breast cancer diagnosis, and 10 452 women developed subsequent malignancies over a median follow-up of 4.3 years. Diabetes was statistically significantly associated with liver (HR = 2.35, 95% CI = 1.48 to 3.74), brain (HR = 1.94, 95% CI = 1.26 to 2.96), and thyroid cancer risks (HR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.01 to 1.89). Future studies are needed to better understand the spectrum of subsequent cancers associated with diabetes and the role of diabetes medications in modifying subsequent cancer risk, alone or in combination with cancer treatments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND GLP-1 RAs are widely used for T2DM treatment due to their cardiorenal and metabolic benefits. This study examines the risk of pancreatic cancer with GLP-1 RA use in patients with T2DM. METHODS We analyzed TriNetX's deidentified research database using the U.S. Collaborative Network comprising 62 healthcare organizations across the U.S.A. Patients with T2DM were split into two cohorts: one receiving GLP-1 RAs, and one not receiving GLP-1 RAs. We excluded patients with known risk factors for pancreatic cancer, including pancreatic cysts, a personal or family history of BRCA1, BRCA2, CDKN2A, KRAS, MEN1, MLH1, MSH2, NOTCH1, PALB2, PMS2, and PRSS1S genes, family history of pancreatic cancer, and VHL syndrome. Using a 1:1 propensity score-matching model based on baseline characteristics and comorbidities, we created comparable cohorts. We then compared the rate of pancreatic cancer between the two cohorts at a 7-year interval. RESULTS Out of 7,146,015 identified patients with T2DM, 10.3% were on a GLP-1 RA and 89.7% were not. Post-PSM, 721,110 patients were in each group. Patients on GLP-1 RAs had a 0.1% risk compared to a 0.2% risk of pancreatic cancer in the 7-year timeframe. CONCLUSION The use of GLP-1 RAs in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) does not appear to substantially elevate the risk of pancreatic cancer; in fact, it may potentially exert a protective effect.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a deadly disease that is the result of an accumulation of sequential genetic alterations. These genetic alterations can either be inherited, such as pathogenic germline variants that are associated with an increased risk of cancer, or acquired, such as somatic mutations that occur during the lifetime of an individual. Understanding the genetic basis of inherited risk of PDAC is essential to advancing patient care and outcomes through improved clinical surveillance, early detection initiatives, and targeted therapies. In this review we discuss factors associated with an increased risk of PDAC, the prevalence of genetic variants associated with an increased risk in patients with PDAC, estimates of PDAC risk in carriers of pathogenic germline variants in genes associated with an increased risk of PDAC. The role of common variants in pancreatic cancer risk will also be discussed.

Abstract
AIMS To determine the relationship of diabetes with pancreatic cancer incidence among African American and Whites of similar socio-economic status. METHODS Using the Southern Community Cohort Study, we conducted a follow-up during 2002-2015 of pancreatic cancer incidence of 73,378 mostly low-income participants aged 40-79 years; 15,913 reported diabetes at baseline. Multivariable Cox analysis controlling for sex, family history of pancreatic cancer, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption, education, income and other important covariates, and with age as the timescale was used. RESULTS Totally, 265 incident pancreatic cancer cases were observed. Pancreatic cancer risk was increased among those with diabetes (HR 1.54, CI 1.16-2.05), with similar increases among African Americans (HR 1.51, CI 1.08-2.11) and Whites (HR 1.78, CI 1.00-3.16). No trend in risk was observed for diabetes duration among those with diabetes, with HRs of 1.39 (0.91-2.11), 2.31 (1.51-3.54) and 1.23 (0.80-1.89) for <5, 5-9 and 10+ years duration, respectively. African Americans were at increased risk of pancreatic cancer (HR = 1.40, 95% CI 1.05-1.87), which persisted after adjusting for diabetes (HR 1.36, CI 1.02-1.81). The effect sizes for other pancreatic cancer risk factors with pancreatic cancer were similar by diabetes status, although a stronger association with low BMI was evident among those with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes increases pancreatic cancer risk similarly among African Americans and Whites in this Southern U.S. COHORT

Abstract
Exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), byproducts of incomplete combustion, and their effects on the development of cancer are still being evaluated. Recent studies have analyzed the relationship between PAHs and tobacco or dietary intake in the form of processed foods and smoked/well-done meats. This study aims to assess the association of a blood biomarker and metabolite of PAHs, r-1,t-2,3,c-4-tetrahydroxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydrophenanthrene (PheT), dietary intake, selected metabolism SNPs, and pancreatic cancer. Demographics, food-frequency data, SNPs, treatment history, and levels of PheT in plasma were determined from 400 participants (202 cases and 198 controls) and evaluated based on pancreatic adenocarcinoma diagnosis. Demographic and dietary variables were selected based on previously published literature indicating association with pancreatic cancer. A multiple regression model combined the significant demographic and food items with SNPs. Final multivariate logistic regression significant factors (p-value < 0.05) associated with pancreatic cancer included: Type 2 Diabetes [OR = 6.26 (95% CI = 2.83, 14.46)], PheT [1.03 (1.02, 1.05)], very well-done red meat [0.90 (0.83, 0.96)], fruit/vegetable servings [1.35 (1.06, 1.73)], recessive (rs12203582) [4.11 (1.77, 9.91)], recessive (rs56679) [0.2 (0.06, 0.85)], overdominant (rs3784605) [3.14 (1.69, 6.01)], and overdominant (rs721430) [0.39 (0.19, 0.76)]. Of note, by design, the level of smoking did not differ between our cases and controls. This study does not provide strong evidence that PheT is a biomarker of pancreatic cancer susceptibility independent of dietary intake and select metabolism SNPs among a nonsmoking population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system, and its 5-year survival rate is only 4%. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation is the most common post-transcriptional modification and dynamically regulates cancer development, while its role in PC treatment remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS We treated PC cells with gemcitabine and quantified the overall m6A level with m6A methylation quantification. Real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analyses were used to detect expression changes of m6A regulators. We verified the m6A modification on the target genes through m6A-immunoprecipitation (IP), and further in vivo experiments and immunofluorescence (IF) assays were applied to verify regulation of gemcitabine on Wilms' tumor 1-associated protein (WTAP) and MYC. RESULTS Gemcitabine inhibited the proliferation and migration of PC cells and reduced the overall level of m6A modification. Additionally, the expression of the "writer" WTAP was significantly downregulated after gemcitabine treatment. We knocked down WTAP in cells and found target gene MYC expression was significantly downregulated, m6A-IP also confirmed the m6A modification on MYC. Our experiments showed that m6A-MYC may be recognized by the "reader" IGF2BP1. In vivo experiments revealed gemcitabine inhibited the tumorigenic ability of PC cells. IF analysis also showed that gemcitabine inhibited the expression of WTAP and MYC, which displayed a significant trend of co-expression. CONCLUSION Our study confirmed that gemcitabine interferes with WTAP protein expression in PC, reduces m6A modification on MYC and RNA stability, thereby inhibiting the downstream pathway of MYC, and inhibits the progression of PC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between oral microbiota and pancreatic cancer (PC) is increasingly recognized and studied. Yet, contrasting results are seen in current studies. This study aimed to provide systematic review and meta-analysis comparing PC and oral microbiota. METHODS Studies related to the association between oral microbiota and PC were identified through digital databases including PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, COCHRANE, and SCOPUS without limitations on language or publication period. The last identification date was 10 March 2023. Three case-control studies concerning the issue were included. For the meta-analyses, RevMan software version 5.4 was used. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale was used to evaluate articles and measurement of study differences, and publication bias was shown. RESULTS Porphyromonas gingivalis in oral bacteria was detected at a comparatively high detection rate in PC patients compared with healthy controls (odds ratio [OR], 1.38; 95 % confidence interval [CI], 1.09-1.74; P = 0.007; I2 = 34 %). The detection rate did not differ significantly between PC patients and healthy control patients for Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (OR 0.98; 95 % CI 0.75-1.29; P = 0.90; I2 = 76 %); Tannerella forsythiaand (OR 1.12; 95 % CI 0.89-1.42; P = 0.33; I2 = 0 %), or Prevotella intermedia (OR 1.08; 95 % CI 0.84-1.39; P = 0.55; I2 = 0 %). CONCLUSION Oral microbiota were closely related to PC, whereas P. gingivalis was more commonly found in the PC patients than in the healthy controls. For patients with PC, P. gingivalis may play a role in early diagnosis.

Abstract
The unexpected rise in cancer and diabetes statistics has been a significant global threat, inciting ongoing research into various biomarkers that can act as innovative therapeutic targets for their management. The recent discovery of how EZH2-PPARs' regulatory function affects the metabolic and signalling pathways contributing to this disease has posed a significant breakthrough, with the synergistic combination of inhibitors like GSK-126 and bezafibrate for treating these diseases. Nonetheless, no findings on other protein biomarkers involved in the associated side effects have been reported. As a result of this virtual study, we identified the gene-disease association, protein interaction networks between EZH2-PPARs and other protein biomarkers regulating pancreatic cancer and diabetes pathology, ADME/Toxicity profiling, docking simulation and density functional theory of some natural products. The results indicated a correlation between obesity and hypertensive disease for the investigated biomarkers. At the same time, the predicted protein network validates the link to cancer and diabetes, and nine natural products were screened to have versatile binding capacity against the targets. Among all natural products, phytocassane A outperforms the standard drugs' (GSK-126 and bezafibrate) in silico validation for drug-likeness profiles. Hence, these natural products were conclusively proposed for additional experimental screening to complement the results on their utility in drug development for diabetes and cancer therapy against the EZH2-PPARs' new target.

The role of diabetes in metastatic melanoma patients treated with nivolumab plus relatlimab. J Transl Med 2023; 21:753. [PMID: 37880788 PMCID: PMC10601323 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-023-04607-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 10/27/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of nivolumab + relatlimab is superior to nivolumab alone in the treatment of naive patients and has activity in PD-1 refractory melanoma. We had previously observed a reduced expression of LAG3 in melanoma tissue from patients with type 2 diabetes. METHOD To evaluate the impact of diabetes on oncological outcomes of patients with advanced melanoma treated with nivolumab plus the LAG3 inhibitor relatlimab we performed a retrospective multicenter study. RESULTS Overall, 129 patients were included: 88 without diabetes before the treatment, 37 who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes before the start of treatment, and 4 without diabetes before treatment who developed immune checkpoint inhibitor-induced diabetes (ICI-DM). PFS was 21.71 months (95% CI: 15.61-27.81) in patients without diabetes, 10.23 months (95% CI: 5.81-14.66) in patients with type 2 diabetes, and 50.85 months (95% CI: 23.04-78.65) in patients who developed ICI-DM. OS was 37.94 months (95% CI: 31.02-44.85) in patients without diabetes, 22.12 months (95% CI: 14.41-29.85) in those with type 2 diabetes and 57.64 months (95% CI: 42.29-72.99) in those who developed ICI-DM. Multivariate analysis showed that the presence of diabetes and LDH was correlated with OS and PFS. The mean OS was 64.63 months in subjects with low levels of glucose (< 137 mg/dl) and 36.27 months in those with high levels (hazard ratio 0.16, 95% CI: 0.04-0.58; p = 0.005). The patients whose glucose blood level increased after 3 months of treatment with nivolumab + relatinib compared to baseline (ratio of blood level at baseline/after 3 months > 1.5) had a worse prognosis than those whose glucose level had not increased. This result was observed also in subgroups treated either in first line or further lines. Patients who developed ICI-DM during the study period had better outcomes than the overall population and patients without diabetes. CONCLUSIONS LAG3 inhibition for treating metastatic or unresectable melanoma has a reduced efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes, possibly due to a low expression of LAG3 in tumor tissue. Higher level evidence should be obtained.

Adherence to diabetes risk reduction diet and the risk of head and neck cancer: a prospective study of 101,755 American adults. Front Nutr 2023; 10:1218632. [PMID: 37810918 PMCID: PMC10556244 DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2023.1218632] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Adherence to the diabetes risk reduction diet (DRRD) may potentially reduce the risk of developing head and neck cancer (HNC) as the diet includes fruits and limits red and processed meats, known risk factors for HNC. However, there is currently no epidemiological research to investigate this potential association. Methods The present study utilized data on demographics, lifestyles, medications, and diets of participants from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial to explore the potential association between adherence to DRRD and the risk of HNC. We used a DRRD score to evaluate adherence to the dietary pattern and employed Cox regression analysis to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for HNC risk. Several subgroup analyses were carried out to identify potential effect modifiers, and multiple sensitivity analyses were performed to evaluate the stability of the correlation. The nine components of the DRRD was assessed separately for its association with the risk of HNC. Results During a mean follow up of 8.84 years, 279 cases of HNC were observed. DDRD score was found to be inversely associated with the risk of HNC (HR Q4 vs. Q1: 0.582; 95% CI: 0.396, 0.856; p = 0.005 for trend) in a linear dose-response manner (p = 0.211 for non-linearity). Subgroup analysis indicated this inverse correlation was more pronounced among participants who had never smoked (HRQ4 vs. Q1: 0.193; 95% CI: 0.073, 0.511; p < 0.001 for trend) compared to current or former smokers (p = 0.044 for interaction). The primary association of DDRD and HNC risk remained robust after several sensitivity analyses. Regarding the individual components of DRRD, an inverse association was also observed between the risk of HNC and increased intake of cereal fiber and whole fruit (all p < 0.05 for trend). Conclusion Our findings provide evidence that following the DRRD pattern may reduce the risk of NHC, especially for non-smokers.

Abstract
Since the majority of patients with pancreatic cancer (PC) develop insulin resistance and/or diabetes mellitus (DM) prior to PC diagnosis, PC-induced diabetes mellitus (PC-DM) has been a focus for a potential platform for PC detection. In previous studies, the PC-derived exosomes were shown to contain the mediators of PC-DM. In the present study, the response of normal pancreatic islet cells to the PC-derived exosomes was investigated to determine the potential biomarkers for PC-DM, and consequently, for PC. Specifically, changes in microRNA (miRNA) expression were evaluated. The miRNA specimens were prepared from the untreated islet cells as well as the islet cells treated with the PC-derived exosomes (from 50 patients) and the healthy-derived exosomes (from 50 individuals). The specimens were subjected to next-generation sequencing and bioinformatic analysis to determine the differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) only in the specimens treated with the PC-derived exosomes. Consequently, 24 candidate miRNA markers, including IRS1-modulating miRNAs such as hsa-miR-144-5p, hsa-miR-3148, and hsa-miR-3133, were proposed. The proposed miRNAs showed relevance to DM and/or insulin resistance in a literature review and pathway analysis, indicating a potential association with PC-DM. Due to the novel approach used in this study, additional evidence from future studies could corroborate the value of the miRNA markers discovered.

Abstract
AIMS We aimed to evaluate the association of prediabetes, diabetes, and diabetes duration with risk of total and site-specific cancer in the Korean population aged 65 years and above. METHODS This study included 1,232,173 subjects aged ≥ 65 years who underwent a general health screening program. Diabetes status was categorized as normal glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose, new-onset diabetes, diabetes duration of < 5 years, and diabetes duration of ≥ 5 years. Cox proportional hazards models were used to investigate the association of diabetes status with cancer risk. RESULTS The risk of total cancer increased as diabetes status worsened, as did the risks of liver, biliary, and pancreatic cancer. Risks of liver, biliary, and pancreatic cancer were significantly higher in subjects aged 65-74 years than in those aged ≥ 75 years. The relationship of diabetes status with overall cancer incidence was found to significantly interact with sex. Among subjects with diabetes, the risks of liver and lung cancer were significantly higher in men than in women regardless of diabetes duration. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes status is associated with increased risk of cancer in the elderly. There are age and sex differences in the risk of total and site-specific cancers, including liver, biliary, and pancreatic cancer. This study highlights the importance of cancer screening for elderly subjects with diabetes.

Dual epigenetic changes in diabetes mellitus-associated pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma correlate with downregulation of E-cadherin and worsened prognosis. J Pathol Clin Res 2023; 9:354-366.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) that promotes the promoter methylation of CDH1. It is still unclear whether DM can exert other epigenetic effects, such as altering microRNA (miR) expression, in PDAC. The expression of miR-100-5p is known to be changed in DM patients and can suppress the expression of E-cadherin. In this study, the correlation between DM status and dual epigenetic changes was evaluated in PDAC specimens from patients who underwent radical surgical resection. A total of 132 consecutive patients with PDAC were clinicopathologically evaluated. E-cadherin and nuclear β-catenin expression was measured using immunohistochemistry. DNA and miRs were extracted from the main tumor site on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. TaqMan miR assays were applied to assess miR-100-5p expression. Bisulfite modification was conducted on the extracted DNA, which was then subjected to methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. Immunohistochemistry revealed that decreased E-cadherin expression and increased nuclear β-catenin expression were significantly associated with DM and poor tumor cell differentiation. The presence of long-duration DM (≥3 years) was a significant factor contributing to CDH1 promoter methylation (p < 0.01), while miR-100-5p expression was proportionally correlated with the preoperative HbA1c level (R = 0.34, p < 0.01), but not the duration of DM. The subjects with high miR-100-5p expression and CDH1 promoter methylation showed the highest level of vessel invasion and prevalence of tumor size ≥30 mm. PDAC subjects with dual epigenetic changes showed poorer overall survival (OS) than those with a single epigenetic change. miR-100-5p expression ≥4.13 and CDH1 promoter methylation independently predicted poor OS and disease-free survival (DFS) in the multivariate analysis. OS and DFS worsened in DM subjects with both HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and DM duration ≥3 years. Thus, DM is associated with two modes of epigenetic change by independent mechanisms and worsens prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-standing type 2 diabetes is a known risk factor for developing pancreatic cancer, however, its influence on cancer-associated outcomes is understudied. AIMS To examine the associations between diabetes status and pancreatic cancer outcomes. METHODS We identified patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma in the national Veterans Administration System from 2010 to 2018. We classified each patient by pre-cancer diagnosis diabetes status: no diabetes, new-onset diabetes (NOD) of ≤ 3 years duration, or long-standing diabetes of > 3 years duration. We used Cox proportional hazards models to examine the association between diabetes status and survival. We adjusted the models for age, race, sex, body mass index, tobacco, and alcohol use, coronary artery disease, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, year of cancer diagnosis, and cancer stage and treatment. RESULTS We identified 6342 patients diagnosed with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Most had long-standing diabetes (45.7%) prior to their cancer diagnosis, 14.5% had NOD, and 39.8% had no diabetes. Patients with long-standing diabetes had 10% higher mortality risk compared to patients without diabetes after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and medical comorbidities (adjusted HR 1.10; 95% CI 1.03-1.16). This difference in mortality remained statistically significant after additionally adjusting for cancer stage and receipt of potentially curative treatment (adjusted HR 1.09; 95% CI 1.02-1.15). There was no significant difference in mortality between patients with NOD compared to those without diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Long-standing but not new-onset diabetes is independently associated with increased mortality among patients with pancreatic cancer. This information has implication for prognostication and risk stratification among pancreatic cancer patients.

Abstract
Pancreatic carcinoma (Ca Pancreas) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the world. The malignancies of the pancreas can be diagnosed with the help of various imaging modalities. An endoscopic ultrasound with a tissue biopsy is so far considered to be the gold standard in terms of the detection of Ca Pancreas, especially for lesions <2 mm. However, other methods, like computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are also conventionally used. Moreover, newer techniques, like proteomics, radiomics, metabolomics, and artificial intelligence (AI), are slowly being introduced for diagnosing pancreatic cancer. Regardless, it is still a challenge to diagnose pancreatic carcinoma non-invasively at an early stage due to its delayed presentation. Similarly, this also makes it difficult to demonstrate an association between Ca Pancreas and other vital organs of the body, such as the heart. A number of studies have proven a correlation between the heart and pancreatic cancer. The tumor of the pancreas affects the heart at the physiological, as well as the molecular, level. An overexpression of the SMAD4 gene; a disruption in biomolecules, such as IGF, MAPK, and ApoE; and increased CA19-9 markers are a few of the many factors that are noted to affect cardiovascular systems with pancreatic malignancies. A comprehensive review of this correlation will aid researchers in conducting studies to help establish a definite relation between the two organs and discover ways to use it for the early detection of Ca Pancreas.

Abstract
Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are chronic pathologies with a high incidence worldwide. They share some pathological mechanisms, including hyperinsulinemia, the production and release of hormones, and hyperglycemia. The above, over time, affects other systems of the human body by causing tissue hypoxia, low-grade inflammation, and oxidative stress, which lay the pathophysiological groundwork for cancer. The leading causes of death globally are T2DM and cancer. Other main alterations of this pathological triad include the accumulation of advanced glycation end products and the release of endogenous alarmins due to cell death (i.e., damage-associated molecular patterns) such as the intracellular proteins high-mobility group box protein 1 and protein S100 that bind to the receptor for advanced glycation products (RAGE) - a multiligand receptor involved in inflammatory and metabolic and neoplastic processes. This review analyzes the latest advanced reports on the role of RAGE in the development of obesity, T2DM, and cancer, with an aim to understand the intracellular signaling mechanisms linked with cancer initiation. This review also explores inflammation, oxidative stress, hypoxia, cellular senescence, RAGE ligands, tumor microenvironment changes, and the “cancer hallmarks” of the leading tumors associated with T2DM. The assimilation of this information could aid in the development of diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to lower the morbidity and mortality associated with these diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a poor prognosis. Identifying modifiable risk factors, such as diabetes, is crucial. In the context of PDAC diagnosis, diabetes manifests as long-term (LTD), new-onset (NOD), or postsurgical (PSD) phenotypes. The link between these diabetes phenotypes and PDAC survival is debated. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective study on patients with resectable PDAC who underwent pancreatectomy at Johns Hopkins Hospital from 2003 to 2017. We utilized the National Death Index and electronic medical records to determine vital status. We categorized diabetes as LTD, NOD, or PSD based on the timing of diagnosis relative to pancreatic resection. Using multivariable Cox models, we assessed hazard ratios (HRs) for survival times associated with each phenotype, considering known PDAC prognostic factors. RESULTS Of 1556 patients, the 5-year survival was 19% (95% CI, 17-21). No significant survival differences were observed between diabetes phenotypes and non-diabetic patients. NOD and PSD presented nonsignificant increased risks of death (aHR: 1.14 [95% CI, 0.8-1.19] and 1.05 [95% CI, 0.89-1.25], respectively). LTD showed no survival difference (aHR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.99-1.31). CONCLUSIONS No link was found between diabetes phenotypes and survival in resectable PDAC patients. Comprehensive prospective studies are required to validate these results.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Early detection of pancreatic cancer (PaC) can drastically improve survival rates. Approximately 25% of subjects with PaC have type 2 diabetes diagnosed within 3 years prior to the PaC diagnosis, suggesting that subjects with type 2 diabetes are at high risk of occult PaC. We have developed an early-detection PaC test, based on changes in 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) signals in cell-free DNA from plasma. METHODS Blood was collected from 132 subjects with PaC and 528 noncancer subjects to generate epigenomic and genomic feature sets yielding a predictive PaC signal algorithm. The algorithm was validated in a blinded cohort composed of 102 subjects with PaC, 2048 noncancer subjects, and 1524 subjects with non-PaCs. RESULTS 5hmC differential profiling and additional genomic features enabled the development of a machine learning algorithm capable of distinguishing subjects with PaC from noncancer subjects with high specificity and sensitivity. The algorithm was validated with a sensitivity for early-stage (stage I/II) PaC of 68.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 51.9%-81.9%) and an overall specificity of 96.9% (95% CI, 96.1%-97.7%). CONCLUSIONS The PaC detection test showed robust early-stage detection of PaC signal in the studied cohorts with varying type 2 diabetes status. This assay merits further clinical validation for the early detection of PaC in high-risk individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Screening options for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) are limited. New-onset type 2 diabetes (NoD) is associated with subsequent diagnosis of PDAC in observational studies and may afford an opportunity for PDAC screening. We evaluated this association using a large administrative database. METHODS Patients were identified using claims data from the OptumLabs® Data Warehouse. Adult patients with NoD diagnosis were matched 1:3 with patients without NoD using age, sex and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) status. The event of PDAC diagnosis was compared between cohorts using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors associated with PDAC diagnosis were evaluated with Cox's proportional hazards modeling. RESULTS We identified 640 421 patients with NoD and included 1 921 263 controls. At 3 years, significantly more PDAC events were identified in the NoD group vs control group (579 vs 505; P < 0.001). When controlling for patient factors, NoD was significantly associated with elevated risk of PDAC (HR 3.474, 95% CI 3.082-3.920, P < 0.001). Other factors significantly associated with PDAC diagnosis were increasing age, increasing age among Black patients, and COPD diagnosis (P ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS NoD was independently associated with subsequent diagnosis of PDAC within 3 years. Future studies should evaluate the feasibility and benefit of PDAC screening in patients with NoD.

Abstract
Antidiabetic drugs that have a secondary pharmacological effect on angiogenesis inhibition may help diabetic patients delay or avoid comorbidities caused by angiogenesis including malignancies. In recent studies, saroglitazar has exhibited antiangiogenic effects in diabetic retinopathy. The current study investigates the antiangiogenic effects of saroglitazar utilizing the chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assay and then identifies its precise mode of action on system-level protein networks. To determine the regulatory effect of saroglitazar on the protein-protein interaction network (PIN), 104 target genes were retrieved and tested using an acid server and Swiss target prediction tools. A string-based interactome was created and analyzed using Cytoscape. It was determined that the constructed network was scale-free, making it biologically relevant. Upon topological analysis of the network, 37 targets were screened on the basis of centrality values. Submodularization of the interactome resulted in the formation of four clusters. A total of 20 common targets identified in topological analysis and modular analysis were filtered. A total of 20 targets were compiled and were integrated into the pathway enrichment analysis using ShinyGO. The majority of hub genes were associated with cancer and PI3-AKT signaling pathways. Molecular docking was utilized to reveal the most potent target, which was validated by using molecular dynamic simulations and immunohistochemical staining on the chicken CAM. The comprehensive study offers an alternate research paradigm for the investigation of antiangiogenic effects using CAM assays. This was followed by the identification of the precise off-target use of saroglitazar using system biology and network pharmacology to inhibit angiogenesis.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most malignant cancer types and has a poor prognosis. It is often diagnosed at an advanced stage because of the absence of typical symptoms. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a screening method for the early detection of pancreatic cancer in high-risk individuals. This is a prospective validation study conducted in a cohort of 1033 Japanese individuals (male, n = 467, age = 63.3 ± 11.5 years; female, n = 566, age = 64.2 ± 10.6 years) to evaluate the use of salivary polyamines for screening pancreatic diseases and cancers. Patients with pancreatic cancer were not included; however, other pancreatic diseases were treated as positive cases for accuracy verification. Of the 135 individuals with elevated salivary polyamine markers, 66 had pancreatic diseases, such as chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cysts, and 1 had gallbladder cancer. These results suggest that the salivary polyamine panel is a useful noninvasive pancreatic disease screening tool.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Most patients with pancreatic cancer present with advanced stage, incurable disease. However, patients with high-grade precancerous lesions and many patients with low-stage disease can be cured with surgery, suggesting that early detection has the potential to improve survival. While serum CA19.9 has been a long-standing biomarker used for pancreatic cancer disease monitoring, its low sensitivity and poor specificity have driven investigators to hunt for better diagnostic markers. AREAS COVERED This review will cover recent advances in genetics, proteomics, imaging, and artificial intelligence, which offer opportunities for the early detection of curable pancreatic neoplasms. EXPERT OPINION From exosomes, to circulating tumor DNA, to subtle changes on imaging, we know much more now about the biology and clinical manifestations of early pancreatic neoplasia than we did just five years ago. The overriding challenge, however, remains the development of a practical approach to screen for a relatively rare, but deadly, disease that is often treated with complex surgery. It is our hope that future advances will bring us closer to an effective and financially sound approach for the early detection of pancreatic cancer and its precursors.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), and pancreatic cancer (PC) has been consistently increasing in the last two decades worldwide. Sharing various influential risk factors in genetics and environmental inducers in pathogenesis, the close correlations of these three diseases have been demonstrated in plenty of clinical studies using multiple parameters among different populations. On the contrary, most measures aimed to manage and treat obesity and DM effectively reduce the risk and prevent PC occurrence, yet certain drugs can inversely promote pancreatic carcinogenesis instead. Most importantly, an elevation of blood glucose with or without a reduction in body weight, along with other potential tools, may provide valuable clues for detecting PC at an early stage in patients with obesity and DM, favoring a timely intervention and prolonging survival. Herein, the epidemiological and etiological correlations among these three diseases and the supporting clinical evidence of their connections are first summarized to favor a better and more thorough understanding of obesity- and DM-related pancreatic carcinogenesis. After comparing the distinct impacts of different weight-lowering and anti-diabetic treatments on the risk of PC, the possible diagnostic implications of hyperglycemia and weight loss in PC screening are also addressed in detail.

BACKGROUND The aim of the study is to estimate the incidence of pancreatic cancer among individuals with new-onset type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) and evaluate the relationship of pancreatic cancer risk with age at diabetes onset and diabetes duration. METHODS This longitudinal cohort study included 428,362 new-onset T2DM patients in Shanghai and Mendelian randomization (MR) in the east-Asian population were used to investigate the association. Incidence rates of pancreatic cancer in all patients and by subgroups were calculated and compared to the general population. FINDINGS A total of 1056 incident pancreatic cancer cases were identified during eight consecutive years of follow-up. The overall pancreatic cancer annual incidence rate was 55·28/100,000 person years in T2DM patients, higher than that in the general population, with a standardized incidence ratio (SIR) of 1·54 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1·45-1·64). The incidence of pancreatic cancer increased with age and a significantly higher incidence was observed in the older groups with T2DM. However, the relative pancreatic cancer risk was inversely related to age of T2DM onset, and a higher SIR of 5·73 (95%CI, 4·49-7·22) was observed in the 20-54 years old group. The risk of pancreatic cancer was elevated at any diabetes duration. Fasting blood glucose ≥10·0 mmol/L was associated with increased risk of pancreatic cancer. MR analysis indicated a positive association between T2DM and pancreatic cancer risk. INTERPRETATION Efforts toward early and close follow-up programs, especially in individuals with young-onset T2DM, and the improvement of glucose control might represent effective strategies for improving the detection and results of treatment of pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
The development of pancreatic cancer (PC) is associated with worsening of glucose tolerance. However, there is limited information about the effects of PC on islet morphology. The aim of this study was to elucidate changes in alpha and beta cell mass in patients with PC. We enrolled 30 autopsy cases with death due to PC (9 with diabetes; DM) and 31 age- and BMI-matched autopsy cases without PC (controls, 12 with DM). Tumor-free pancreatic sections were stained for insulin and glucagon, and fractional beta cell (BCA) and alpha cell area (ACA) were quantified. In addition, expression of de-differentiation markers, i.e., ALDH1A3 and UCN3, was qualitatively evaluated. The pancreas of subjects with PC showed atrophic and fibrotic changes. There was no significant difference in BCA in subjects with PC compared to controls (1.53 ± 1.26% vs. 0.95 ± 0.42%, p = 0.07). However, ACA and ACA to BCA ratio were significantly higher in subjects with PC compared to controls (2.48 ± 2.39% vs. 0.53 ± 0.26% and 1.94 ± 1.93 vs. 0.59 ± 0.26, respectively, both p < 0.001). Increased ACA to BCA ratio was observed in subjects with PC irrespective of the presence of DM. Qualitative evaluation of ALDH1A3 and UCN3 expression showed no significant difference between the groups. In conclusion, in subjects with PC, alpha to beta cell mass ratio is increased, which may contribute to the increased risk of worsening glucose metabolism. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the mechanisms of increased alpha to beta cell mass in patients with PC.

Abstract
CONTEXT Considering the absence of methods to find pancreatic cancer early, surveillance of high-risk groups is needed for early diagnosis. OBJECTIVE The study aimed to investigate the effect in the incidence of pancreatic cancer and the differences between new-onset DM (NODM) and long-standing DM (LSDM) since NODM group is a representative high-risk group. METHODS The Korean National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort between 2002 and 2013 data was used. Regarding 88,396 people with DM (case group), we conducted a 1:1 propensity score matching to select a matched non-DM population (control group). To investigate the interaction between DM and the time variable distinguishing NODM and LSDM, we performed a multi-variable time-dependent Cox regression analysis. RESULTS The incidence of pancreatic cancer was higher in the DM group compared to the non-DM group (0.52% vs. 0.16%, P < 0.001). The DM group had shown different risk of pancreatic cancer development according to the duration since the DM diagnosis (NODM hazard ratio (HR): 3.81, 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.97-4.88, P < 0.001; LSDM HR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.11-2.11, P < 0.001). When the NODM and the LSDM groups were compared, the risk of pancreatic cancer was higher in the NODM group than LSDM group (HR: 1.55, P = 0.020). In subgroup analysis, NODM group showed that men (HR = 4.42 95% CI: 3.15-6.19, P < 0.001) and patients who were in their 50 s (HR = 7.54, 95% CI: 3.24-17.56, P < 0.001) were at a higher risk of developing pancreatic cancer than matched same sex or age control group (non-DM population), respectively. CONCLUSION The risk of pancreatic cancer was greater in people with DM than non-DM population. Among people with DM, NODM showed a higher risk of pancreatic cancer than long standing DM.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have reported that dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (dCCBs) may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer, but these studies had methodological limitations. We thus aimed to determine whether dCCBs are associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with thiazide diuretics, a clinically relevant comparator. Methods and Results We conducted a new user, active comparator, population-based cohort study using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink. We identified new users of dCCBs and new users of thiazide diuretics between 1990 and 2018, with follow-up until 2019. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% CIs for pancreatic cancer, comparing dCCBs with thiazide diuretics. Models were weighted using standardized morbidity ratio weights based on calendar time-specific propensity scores. We also conducted secondary analyses by cumulative duration of use, time since initiation, and individual drugs and assessed for the presence of effect modification by age, sex, smoking status, body mass index, history of chronic pancreatitis, and diabetes. The cohort included 344 480 initiators of dCCBs and 357 968 initiators of thiazide diuretics, generating 3 360 745 person-years of follow-up. After a median follow-up of 4.5 years, the weighted incidence rate per 100 000 person-years was 37.2 (95% CI, 34.1-40.4) for dCCBs and 39.4 (95% CI, 36.1-42.9) for thiazide diuretics. Overall, dCCBs were not associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer (weighted HR, 0.93; 95% CI, 0.80-1.09). Similar results were observed in secondary analyses. Conclusions In this large, population-based cohort study, dCCBs were not associated with an increased risk of pancreatic cancer compared with thiazide diuretics. These findings provide reassurance regarding the long-term pancreatic cancer safety of these drugs.

Influence of antidiabetic drugs on glucose metabolism and immune response in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma receiving gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel as first-line treatment. Dig Liver Dis 2022; 55:655-660. [PMID: 36513569 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2022.11.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Association between pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) has long been evaluated. Indeed, DM2 can be both an epiphenomenon of PDAC and a risk factor. The present study aimed to investigate the correlation between overall survival (OS) and antidiabetic drugs in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and DM2. METHOD Data from 232 patients were collected retrospectively from 2014 to 2021. 174 from AOU Cagliari Medical Oncology and 58 from AOU Ancona Medical Oncology. All patients received gemcitabine plus nab-paclitaxel first-line chemotherapy. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between DM2, anti-diabetic medications and overall survival. Survival distribution was assessed by Kaplan-Meier curves. RESULTS Median age was 68±9, 127 (55%) were male. 138/232 (59%) patients were not affected by DM2, 94/232 (41%) were affected by DM2. 57 were insulin-treated and 37 were metformin-treated. DM2 treated patients showed an higher median overall survival (26 vs 12 months, p = 0,0002). Among DM2 patients insulin-treated and metformin-treated showed an mOS of 21 months and 33 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Results showed a correlation between treated DM2 and higher mOS in patients with mPDAC. Limitations due to retrospective data collection must be considered. Further studies in this setting are needed.

Prognostic Relevance of Type 2 Diabetes and Metformin Treatment in Head and Neck Melanoma: Results from a Population-Based Cohort Study. Curr Oncol 2022; 29:9660-9670.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Type 2 Diabetes (DM2) and the consecutively daily use of antidiabetic medication are characterized by a frequent prevalence worldwide and were shown to impact the initiation and progression of malignant diseases. While these effects were observed in a variety of malignancies, comprehensive data about the role of DM2 and antidiabetic drugs in the outcome of head and neck melanoma (HNM) patients are missing. METHODS This retrospective population-based cohort study included 382 HNM patients from Eastern Bavaria having received tumor resection to negative margins between 2010 and 2017. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was evaluated with regard to DM2 and routine metformin intake. Statistical analysis was performed by uni- and multivariate analyses. The median follow-up time was 5.6 years. RESULTS DM2 was diagnosed in 68 patients (17.8%), routine metformin intake was found in 39 cases (10.2%). The univariate survival analysis revealed impaired 5-year RFS in HNM patients with DM2 compared to non-diabetic controls (p = 0.016; 64.0% and 74.5%, respectively). The multivariate Cox regression substantiated this effect (HR = 1.980, 95% CI = 1.108-3.538, p = 0.021). In detail, the cumulative locoregional recurrence rate displayed the most far-reaching negative effect on the RFS of diabetic HNM patients (HR = 4.173, 95% CI = 1.628-10.697, p = 0.003). For metformin intake, a profound positive effect on the RFS in multivariate statistics was observed, both in the complete cohort (HR = 0.396, 95% CI = 0.177-0.884, p = 0.024) as well as in the cohort of diabetic HNM patients (HR = 0.352, 95% CI = 0.135-0.913, p = 0.032). CONCLUSIONS This study emphasizes that DM2 is a relevant comorbid condition in HNM patients, impairing patient survival. Metformin intake was associated with a favorable outcome in HNM patients, providing possible therapeutic implications for future adjuvant treatment regimes.

Abstract
AIMS The bidirectional association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and pancreatic cancer (PC) is established; however, the strength of association between duration of DM and risk of PC needs further investigation. METHODS We conducted a case-control study nested within a population-based cohort of Australian women established using record linkage. Women diagnosed with PC from July 2007 to December 2013, were matched to five controls based on age and state of residence. DM was defined according to prescription of anti-diabetic medication from administrative prescription data. We used conditional logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusted for area-level socioeconomic status, rurality of residence, weighted comorbidity score, and predicted probability of obesity. RESULTS The analyses included 7,267 cases and 35,978 controls. The mean age at the time of DM diagnosis was 71 years whereas the mean age at the time of diagnosis of PC was 76 years. A history of DM of any duration was associated with a 2-fold increase in risk of PC (OR=2.12; 95%CI:1.96-2.29) compared to having no history of DM. The risk decreased with increasing duration of DM. The highest risk was in those who had recent-onset DM (OR=8.08; 95%CI:6.88-9.50 for <12 months of DM), but the risk remained elevated with ≥5 years of DM (OR=1.40; 95%CI:1.27-1.55). CONCLUSION The markedly increased risk of PC in those with recent-onset DM emphasises the need for further research to distinguish patients for whom new-onset DM is a manifestation of PC from those with type-2 DM. The elevated risk associated with long-standing DM suggests that preventing DM may contribute to a reduction in the incidence of PC.

Diabetes mellitus and the risk of progression or malignancy of pancreatic cystic neoplasms in patients undergoing surveillance: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Pancreatology 2022; 22:1195-1201. [PMID: 36220756 DOI: 10.1016/j.pan.2022.09.244] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES Patients with pancreatic cystic neoplasms (PCN) generally undergo surveillance by cross-sectional imaging or endoscopic-ultrasound due to their pre-malignant potential. Appearance of certain cyst characteristics during surveillance is associated with aggressive behavior or presence of malignancy. Patient characteristics associated with progression or induction of malignancy in PCN is unclear from current studies. We performed this meta-analysis to determine the patient characteristics associated with progression or malignancy in patients with PCN who undergo surveillance. METHODS We performed a systematic research of several electronic databases for all the studies on surveillance of PCN which reported demographic data of patients who had progression or malignancy and controls. We calculated Risk ratio (RR) or Hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) for each variable. Mantel- Haenszel method or Inverse-variance model was used to pool data of progression or malignant transformation into fixed or random effect model meta-analysis. RESULTS 11observational studies, 4 assessing risk factors for malignancy (3955 patients) and 7 evaluating risk factors for progression of PCN (3144 patients) were included in the meta-analysis. Diabetes mellitus was associated with higher risk for malignant transformation as well as progression of PCN (RR = 1.54, CI 1.23, 1.92). Advanced age was associated with higher risk of progression. Male gender had higher risk for malignant transformation but not progression of PCN. CONCLUSION Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of both malignancy and progression of PCN in patients who undergo surveillance. Advanced age is also associated with higher risk of progression of PCN.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, diabetes-care teams, other health care professionals and stakeholders, and individuals with diabetes and their caregivers. METHODS The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology selected a task force of medical experts and staff who updated and assessed clinical questions and recommendations from the prior 2015 version of this guideline and conducted literature searches for relevant scientific papers published from January 1, 2015, through May 15, 2022. Selected studies from results of literature searches composed the evidence base to update 2015 recommendations as well as to develop new recommendations based on review of clinical evidence, current practice, expertise, and consensus, according to established American Association of Clinical Endocrinology protocol for guideline development. RESULTS This guideline includes 170 updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes. Recommendations are divided into four sections: (1) screening, diagnosis, glycemic targets, and glycemic monitoring; (2) comorbidities and complications, including obesity and management with lifestyle, nutrition, and bariatric surgery, hypertension, dyslipidemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; (3) management of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes with antihyperglycemic pharmacotherapy and glycemic targets, type 1 diabetes with insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, hospitalized persons, and women with diabetes in pregnancy; (4) education and new topics regarding diabetes and infertility, nutritional supplements, secondary diabetes, social determinants of health, and virtual care, as well as updated recommendations on cancer risk, nonpharmacologic components of pediatric care plans, depression, education and team approach, occupational risk, role of sleep medicine, and vaccinations in persons with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS This updated clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to assist with person-centered, team-based clinical decision-making to improve the care of persons with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal cancers in the world; it is a silent disease in which symptoms do not present until advanced stages, thereby reducing the 5-year survival rate to 10%. The global burden of pancreatic cancer has doubled over the past 25 years despite advancements in medicine. This review aims to discuss the global trends and disparities in pancreatic cancer, as well as the up-to-date literature on the known risk factors. A better understanding of these risk factors will reduce mortality by providing opportunities to screen these patients as well as counseling on lifestyle modifications.

Abstract
The traditional complications of diabetes mellitus are well known and continue to pose a considerable burden on millions of people living with diabetes mellitus. However, advances in the management of diabetes mellitus and, consequently, longer life expectancies, have resulted in the emergence of evidence of the existence of a different set of lesser-acknowledged diabetes mellitus complications. With declining mortality from vascular disease, which once accounted for more than 50% of deaths amongst people with diabetes mellitus, cancer and dementia now comprise the leading causes of death in people with diabetes mellitus in some countries or regions. Additionally, studies have demonstrated notable links between diabetes mellitus and a broad range of comorbidities, including cognitive decline, functional disability, affective disorders, obstructive sleep apnoea and liver disease, and have refined our understanding of the association between diabetes mellitus and infection. However, no published review currently synthesizes this evidence to provide an in-depth discussion of the burden and risks of these emerging complications. This Review summarizes information from systematic reviews and major cohort studies regarding emerging complications of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus to identify and quantify associations, highlight gaps and discrepancies in the evidence, and consider implications for the future management of diabetes mellitus.

Development and validation of a competing risk model for second primary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: A population-based study. Front Surg 2022; 9:934148. [PMID: 36111234 PMCID: PMC9468218 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.934148] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2022] [Accepted: 07/22/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background With advances in early diagnosis and treatment, the number of cancer survivors continues to grow, and more and more cancer survivors face the threat of second primary cancer (SPM). Second primary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (spPDAC) is an important subclass of SPM, but its prognostic characteristics are poorly understood. Methods A total of 5,439 spPDAC samples and 67,262 primary pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (pPDAC) samples were extracted from the SEER database for this study. Survival differences between spPDAC and pPDAC samples were compared using Kaplan–Meier curves and log-rank tests. The Fine and Gray proportional subdistributed hazard method was used to analyze potential associations between clinical variables and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma-specific death (PDACSD) and death from other causes. After that, the clinical variables significantly related to PDACSD were screened out to construct a competing risk nomogram, which was used to evaluate the probability of the occurrence of PDACSD. The C-index was used to evaluate the discriminative ability of the model. The area under the curve (AUC) was used to verify the discrimination of the model. The calibration curve was used to verify the calibration of the model. Decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to validate the clinical utility of the model. Results Compared with patients with spPDAC, the pPDAC sample had a better prognosis (p = 0.0017). Across all spPDAC samples, the three most common sites of first-present cancer were the prostate, breast, and digestive system. Age (p < 0.001), race (p = 0.006), interval (p = 0.016), location (p < 0.001), T stage (p = 0.003), M stage (p < 0.001), chemotherapy (p < 0.001), and radiotherapy (p = 0.006) were the clinical variables associated with PDACSD screened by multivariate competing risks analysis. The concordance index values for the training and validation sets were 0.665 (95% CI, 0.655, 0.675) and 0.666 (95% CI, 0.650, 0.682), respectively. AUC, calibration curve, and DCA indicated that the model we constructed had good discrimination, calibration, and clinical utility. Conclusions In conclusion, we first analyzed the impact of previous cancer history on prognosis. We then constructed a competing risk model that can predict the probability of developing PDACSD in spPDAC. This model has good discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical practicability and has certain guiding value for clinical decision-making.

Metformin Exhibits an Attractive Antineoplastic Effect on Human Endometrial Cancer by Regulating the Hippo Signaling Pathway. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:5824617.

Abstract
Metformin, the first-line oral antidiabetic medicine, has shown great antineoplastic potential in various cancer types, despite an unclear mechanism. This study aimed to elucidate the possible mechanism of metformin as a chemotherapy agent with less reproductive and genetic toxicity in human endometrial cancer. The type I endometrial carcinoma cell lines Ishikawa and RL95-2 were treated with metformin. Cell functions, such as proliferation, migration, and invasion, were analyzed. Flow cytometry was performed for cell cycle and apoptosis analyses. Simultaneously, RT-qPCR and western blotting were performed to explore the possible mechanism. Moreover, YAP1 knockout Ishikawa cells were established via lentivirus to demonstrate the underlying mechanism. The results showed that metformin mediated Ishikawa and RL95-2 cell growth inhibition in a dose- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 values of metformin in Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells were 10 mM and 8 mM, respectively. The migration and invasion abilities were also inhibited in the metformin-treated group using wound healing assays and transwell migration and invasion assays, and Ishikawa and RL95-2 cells were arrested in the G1 or G2 phase, respectively. Moreover, the cell proportions of cells in both early and late apoptosis stages were dramatically elevated when treated with metformin, as was the ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 expression. Additionally, the expression levels of YAP1 mRNA and protein in the treatment group were much lower than those in the control group. The cellular behaviors of YAP1 knockout Ishikawa cells were similar to those in the metformin-treated group. Our results demonstrated that it is an attractive alternative to cytotoxic chemotherapy in human endometrial cancer, and YAP of the Hippo pathway may be a potential molecular target. This study provides novel ideas for the adjuvant therapy of endometrial cancer patients, especially for women with strong fertility desires and demands.

Metabolic Pathways as a Novel Landscape in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14153799.

Abstract
Metabolism plays a fundamental role in both human physiology and pathology, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) and other tumors. Anabolic and catabolic processes do not only have energetic implications but are tightly associated with other cellular activities, such as DNA duplication, redox reactions, and cell homeostasis. PDAC displays a marked metabolic phenotype and the observed reduction in tumor growth induced by calorie restriction with in vivo models supports the crucial role of metabolism in this cancer type. The aggressiveness of PDAC might, therefore, be reduced by interventions on bioenergetic circuits. In this review, we describe the main metabolic mechanisms involved in PDAC growth and the biological features that may favor its onset and progression within an immunometabolic context. We also discuss the need to bridge the gap between basic research and clinical practice in order to offer alternative therapeutic approaches for PDAC patients in the more immediate future.

Abstract
CME: Can Slim People Have Type-2 Diabetes? Abstract. Most patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus are obese or overweight. In slim patients with suspected type 2 diabetes mellitus the possibility of other types of diabetes must be considered. In addition to type-1 diabetes in adulthood and genetic forms of diabetes (MODY, mitochondrial diabetes), it could also be diabetes due to a disease of the exocrine pancreas, a condition which is generally underdiagnosed.

Hyperglycemia Enhances Immunosuppression and Aerobic Glycolysis of Pancreatic Cancer Through Upregulating Bmi1-UPF1-HK2 Pathway. Cell Mol Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 14:1146-1165. [PMID: 35863742 PMCID: PMC9606831 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcmgh.2022.07.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Accumulating evidence strongly suggests that hyperglycemia promotes the progression of pancreatic cancer (PC). Approximately 80% of patients with PC are intolerant to hyperglycemic conditions. In this study, we define the role of Bmi1, a stemness-related oncogene, in controlling the Warburg effect, and immune suppression under hyperglycemia conditions. METHODS The diabetes mellitus model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The role of the hyperglycemia-Bmi1-HK2 axis in glycolysis-related immunosuppression was examined in both orthotopic and xenograft in vivo models. Evaluation of immune infiltrates was carried out by flow cytometry. Human PC cell lines, SW1990, BxPC-3, and CFPAC-1, were used for mechanistic in vitro studies. RESULTS Through bioinformatics analysis, we found that hyperglycemia was strongly related to aerobic glycolysis, immunosuppression, and cancer cell stemness. High glucose condition in the tumor microenvironment promotes immune suppression by upregulating glycolysis in PC cells, which can be rescued via knockdown Bmi1 expression or after 2-deoxy-D-glucose treatment. Through gain-/loss-of-function assessments, we found that Bmi1 upregulated the expression of UPF1, which enhanced the stability of HK2 mRNA and thereby increased the expression of HK2. The role of the hyperglycemia-Bmi-HK2 pathway in the inhibition of antitumor immunity was further verified via the immune-competent and immunodeficient mice model. We also demonstrated that hyperglycemia promotes the expression of Bmi1 by elevating the intracellular acetyl-CoA levels and histone H4 acetylation levels. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that the previously unreported Bmi1-UPF1-HK2 pathway contributes to PC progression and immunosuppression, which may bring in new targets for developing effective therapies to treat patients with PC.

Abstract
Background: De novo cancers are feared complications after heart or lung transplantation. Recent data suggest that diabetes mellitus (DM) might also be a risk factor for cancer. We hypothesized that transplanted diabetic patients are at greater risk of developing cancer compared to non-diabetic ones. Methods: We reviewed 353 patients post-heart and/or -lung transplantation from our center between October 1999 and June 2021. Patients with follow-up <180 days (n = 87) were excluded from the analysis. The remaining 266 patients were divided into patients who had preoperative DM (n = 88) or developed it during follow-up (n = 40) and patients without DM (n = 138). Results: The diabetic cohort showed higher rates of malignancies in all patients (30.33 vs. 15.97%, p = 0.005) and in the matched population (31.9 vs. 16.1%, p < 0.001). There were also significantly more solid tumors (17.9 vs. 9.4%, p = 0.042; matched: 16.6 vs. 9.1%, p = 0.09) The presence of diabetes was associated with a 13% increased risk of cancer when compared to non-diabetic patients. New-onset post-transplant diabetes doubled the likelihood of cancer development. Conclusions: Pre-transplant diabetes mellitus increases the risk of cancer after heart and/or lung transplantation. However, new-onset diabetes after transplantation is associated with a much greater cancer risk. This information is relevant for screening during follow-up.

Abstract
The incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its potential complications, such as cancers, are increasing worldwide at an astounding rate. There are many factors such as obesity, diabetes, alcohol consumption, and the adoption of sedentary lifestyles that are driving pancreatic cancer (PC) to become one of the leading causes of cancer mortality in the United States. PC is notorious for its generic symptoms and late-stage presentation with rapid metastasis. The connection between T2DM and the risk of PC development is multifaceted and complex. Some of the proposed theories reveal that chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and abnormalities in the insulin and insulin-like growth factor axis (IGF) contribute to the disease association between these two conditions. This literature review aims to highlight relevant studies and explore the molecular mechanisms involved in the etiology of diabetes and its impact on PC development, as well as the role of anti-diabetic agents on PC. Despite extensive studies, the exact interaction between T2DM and PC remains obscure and will need further investigation. According to current knowledge, there is a substantial link between diabetes, obesity, and dietary patterns in the development and progression of PC. Consequently, focusing our efforts on preventive measures by reducing modifiable risk factors remains the most effective strategy to reduce the risk of PC at this time. Antidiabetic drugs can have various effects on the occurrence and prognosis of PC with metformin offering a clear benefit of inhibiting PC and insulin increasing the risk of PC. The development of future novel therapies will require a deeper knowledge of the triggering mechanisms and interplay between these two disease states.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior epidemiologic studies on the association between diabetes and gastric cancer risk provided inconclusive findings, while traditional, aggregate data meta-analyses were characterized by high between-study heterogeneity. OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between type 2 diabetes and gastric cancer using data from the 'Stomach Cancer Pooling (StoP) Project', an international consortium of more than 30 case-control and nested case-control studies, which is large and provides harmonized definition of participants' characteristics across individual studies. The data have the potential to minimize between-study heterogeneity and provide greater statistical power for subgroup analysis. METHODS We included 5592 gastric cancer cases and 12 477 controls from 14 studies from Europe, Asia, North America, and South America in a two-stage individual-participant data meta-analysis. Random-effect models were used to estimate summary odds ratios (ORs) and their corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs) by pooling study-specific ORs. RESULTS We did not find an overall association between diabetes and gastric cancer (pooled OR = 1.01, 95% CI, 0.94-1.07). However, the risk of cardia gastric cancer was significantly higher among individuals with type 2 diabetes (OR = 1.16, 95% CI, 1.02-1.33). There was no association between diabetes and gastric cancer risk in strata of Helicobacter pylori infection serostatus, age, sex, BMI, smoking status, alcohol consumption, fruit/vegetable intake, gastric cancer histologic type, and source of controls. CONCLUSION This study provides additional evidence that diabetes is unrelated to gastric cancer overall but may be associated with excess cardia gastric cancer risk.

Abstract
Epidemiological studies suggest associations between diabetes mellitus and some cancers. The risk of a number of cancers appears to be increased in diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, some cancer and cancer therapies could lead to diabetes mellitus. Genetic factors, obesity, inflammation, oxidative stress, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, cancer therapies, insulin and some oral hypoglycemic drugs appear to play a role in the crosstalk between diabetes mellitus and cancers. This review summarized the associations between various types of diabetes and cancers and updated available evidence of underlying mechanisms between diabetes and cancers.

Fatty Pancreas and Pancreatic Cancer: An Overlooked Association? J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11030763. [PMID: 35160214 PMCID: PMC8836883 DOI: 10.3390/jcm11030763] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2022] [Revised: 01/27/2022] [Accepted: 01/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: fatty pancreas (FP) is an old observation, but a new disease with clinical implications and several associated comorbid conditions, ranging from mild to life-threatening diseases. Herein, we aimed to assess the association between FP and pancreatic cancer (PC) development. Methods: we performed a retrospective cross-sectional study including all patients who underwent endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) for hepatobiliary indications. The study cohort was divided into patients with and without PC. Univariate and multivariate analysis were used to assess the association of several parameters with PC. Results: overall, 519 patients were included in the study. Of them, 48 had PC (PC group), and 471 did not (non-PC group). In univariate analysis, age (OR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01–1.07, p = 0.004), congestive heart failure (CHF) (OR 3.89, 95% CI 1.72–8.79, p = 0.001), ischemic heart disease (IHD) (OR 3.36, 95% CI 1.59–7.05, p = 0.001), hypertension (OR 2.42, 95% CI 1.33–4.41, p = 0.004) and fatty pancreas (FP) (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.23–5.57, p = 0.01) were significantly associated with PC. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, only FP kept its association (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.04–5.33, p = 0.04). Conclusion: FP was significantly associated with PC. A follow-up plan should be considered for individuals with FP.
