The HFE H63D variant in pancreatic cancer promotes epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition at the expense of cell cycle

Listed in NCBI GEO

This study examines the biological and clinical relevance of the HFE H63D variant in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), a highly aggressive cancer with limited biomarkers.

Description

We analyzed its prevalence in PDAC cohorts and explored associations with tumor characteristics and patient outcomes. Functional studies in human cell lines and genetically engineered mouse models (KCh67d vs. KCwt) revealed effects on cell cycle arrest and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), suggesting a role in tumor progression.

Spatial transcriptomics was used to dissect the tumor microenvironment, supporting the potential of H63D as a prognostic biomarker and therapeutic stratification factor.
