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.

Prognostic Values for the mRNA Expression of the ADAMTS Family of Genes in Gastric Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2020; 2020:9431560. [PMID: 32884571 PMCID: PMC7455834 DOI: 10.1155/2020/9431560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Accepted: 02/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
The “A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase with Thrombospondin Motif” (ADAMTS) family of genes is involved in the occurrence and development of different cancers. However, the prognostic value of these genes in gastric cancer (GC) has not been revealed. The present study was thus conducted to determine the prognostic value for the ADAMTS family of genes in GC. First, we evaluated the mRNA expression levels of the ADAMTS family in GC patients using a GEPIA dataset. Thereafter, we determined the prognostic value of these genes by analyzing their mRNA level using the Kaplan–Meier Plotter database. The mRNA expression level of ADAMTS12 was randomly validated by qRT-PCR and meta-analysis while its coexpression genes were derived using Coexpedia. Finally, we performed Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses using the OmicShare Tools. Compared to normal tissues, expression of ADAMTS2 and 12 was significantly higher while that of ADAMTS1, 13, and 15 was significantly lower in GC tissues. According to the RNA-seq and gene chip data, the ADAMTS family (6, 7, 12, 15, and 18) of genes was closely related to the prognosis of GC, and their high expression levels were associated with poor prognosis and survival time. In addition, ADAMTS12 was highly expressed in 20 pairs of GC tissues based on RT-PCR (P=0.016) and meta-analysis (SMD: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.32–1.14, P < 0.001). GO and KEGG pathway analyses indicated that the ADAMTS12 coexpressed genes were enriched in the pathways of extracellular matrix organization, extracellular matrix structural constituent, extracellular matrix, and protein digestion and absorption. Herein, we discovered the prognostic values and biological roles of the ADAMTS genes in GC.

Abstract
ADAM proteases are multi domain transmembrane metalloproteases that cleave a range of cell surface proteins and activate signaling pathways implicated in tumor progression, including those mediated by Notch, EFGR, and the Eph receptors. Consequently, they have emerged as key therapeutic targets in the efforts to inhibit tumor initiation and progression. To that end, two main approaches have been taken to develop ADAM antagonists: (i) small molecule inhibitors, and (ii) monoclonal antibodies. In this mini-review we describe the distinct features of ADAM proteases, particularly of ADAM10 and ADAM17, their domain organization, conformational rearrangements, regulation, as well as their emerging importance as therapeutic targets in cancer. Further, we highlight an anti-ADAM10 monoclonal antibody that we have recently developed, which has shown significant promise in inhibiting Notch signaling and deterring growth of solid tumors in pre-clinical settings.
