Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has extremely high malignancy and patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma have dismal prognosis. The failure of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma treatment is largely due to the tumor microenvironment, which is featured by ample stromal cells and complicated extracellular matrix. Recent genomic analysis revealed that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma harbors frequently mutated genes including , , , and , which can widely alter cellular processes and behaviors. As shown by accumulating studies, these mutant genes may also change tumor microenvironment, which in turn affects pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma progression. In this review, we summarize the role of such genetic mutations in tumor microenvironment regulation and potential mechanisms.
胰腺导管腺癌具有极高的恶性程度,胰腺导管腺癌患者的预后很差。胰腺导管腺癌治疗失败很大程度上归因于肿瘤微环境,其特征是有大量基质细胞和复杂的细胞外基质。最近的基因组分析显示,胰腺导管腺癌含有频繁突变的基因,包括 、 、 和 ,这些基因可广泛改变细胞过程和行为。越来越多的研究表明,这些突变基因也可能改变肿瘤微环境,进而影响胰腺导管腺癌的进展。在本综述中,我们总结了此类基因突变在肿瘤微环境调节中的作用及潜在机制。
