Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a very poor prognosis with a 5-year survival rate less than 5% because of its ability to metastasise, its late detection and the lack of effective therapies. The Integrin v{beta}6 is highly overexpressed in PDAC and correlates with poor prognosis. The integrin {beta}6 subunit contains a unique C-terminal tail of 11 amino acids (aa) that regulates downstream signals, although the mechanism remains unclear. Here, using integrin {beta}6-deficient cells lines, we have developed two PDAC mouse models overexpressing the full-length {beta}6 and a mutant {beta}6 lacking the C-terminal 11aa (v{Delta}{beta}6). In vitro, v{beta}6 overexpression increased cell proliferation, migration and invasion in a 3D spheroid model. The elimination of the C-terminal 11aa decreased proliferation and totally impaired cell migration and invasion. v{Delta}{beta}6 cells also expressed reduced MMPs in vitro. In vivo, orthotopic implantation of v{beta}6 overexpressing cells showed decreased overall survival and more spontaneous metastasis compared to v{Delta}{beta}6 and v{beta}6-null cells. Therefore, the C-terminal 11aa of the integrin {beta}6 subunit regulates PDAC progression and metastasis.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
