  • Publication number: 20230055395
    Abstract: A marker having excellent sensitivity and specificity to pancreatic cancer and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms. Also, a kit for diagnosing pancreatic cancer and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms to detect the marker, and a method for evaluating a metastasis of a pancreas cancer cell by using the marker. The marker for pancreatic cancer and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms according to the present invention comprises one or more proteins selected from the group essentially consisting of secretoglobin, family 1D, member 2 and podocalyxin-like protein. The kit for diagnosing pancreatic cancer and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms according comprises an antibody to one or more proteins selected from the group essentially consisting of secretoglobin, family 1D, member 2 and podocalyxin-like protein.

  • Publication number: 20220380763
    Abstract: A novel anti-tumor agent capable of delivering siRNA or shRNA specifically to pancreatic cancer cells and suppressing tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis of pancreatic cancer is provided. The present invention provides a nucleic acid delivery enhancer for delivering siRNA or shRNA into cells, which consists of a folic acid-cationic oligopeptide complex. The present invention also provides an anti-tumor agent having siRNA or shRNA capable of binding to mRNA or snoRNA expressed in pancreatic cancer cells to inhibit its expression and a folic acid-cationic oligopeptide complex. The siRNA is capable of binding to RNA selected from the group consisting of, for example, SNORA18 snoRNA, NUP85 mRNA, WASF2 mRNA, and SNORA22 snoRNA.
