Pancreatic cancer resistance conferred by stellate cells: looking for new preclinical models

Experimental Hematology & Oncology, 2020
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has an extremely poor response to chemo- and (modest-dose conventionally fractionated) radio-therapy. Emerging evidence suggests that pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) secrete deoxycytidine, which confers resistance

The Intracellular Localization of Deoxycytidine Kinase [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1998
Deoxycytidine kinase (dCK) catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the deoxynucleoside salvage pathway in mammalian cells and plays a key role in the activation of several pharmacologically important nucleoside analogs. Using a highly specific polyclonal antibody raised against a C-terminal peptide of the human dCK, we analyzed its subcellular localization

DCK is an Unfavorable Prognostic Biomarker and Correlated With Immune Infiltrates in Liver Cancer

Technology in Cancer Research & Treatment, 2020
Background: The biological function of deoxycytidine kinase in tumor is not yet clear, and there are a few studies relating to the correlation of deoxycytidine kinase gene with the occurrence and development of liver cancer.

DCK is a promising prognostic biomarker and correlated with immune infiltrates in hepatocellular carcinoma

World Journal of Surgical Oncology, 2020
Background Deoxycytidine kinase (DCK), an enzyme in the nucleoside biosynthetic pathway, can affect the development of immune cells. However, the relationships between the expression of DCK, patient prognosis, and tumor-infiltrating immune cells (TIICs ...

Purine nucleoside phosphorylase enables dual metabolic checkpoints that prevent T cell immunodeficiency and TLR7-associated autoimmunity

The Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2022
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) enables the breakdown and recycling of guanine nucleosides. PNP insufficiency in humans is paradoxically associated with both immunodeficiency and autoimmunity, but the mechanistic basis for these outcomes is ...

Investigating the underlying mechanism of cadmium-induced plant adaptive response to genotoxic stress

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Plants as sessile organisms have developed some unique strategies to withstand environmental stress and adaptive response (AR) is one of them. In the present study Cadmium (Cd)-induced AR was evaluated to ameliorate the genotoxicity of a known chemical ...
