Early invasive growth and metastasis are features of pancreatic cancer that rely on its resistance to anoikis, an apoptosis program activated on loss of matrix anchorage. How anoikis is regulated is unclear. UDP-N-acetylglucosamine-2-epimerase/N-acetylmannosamine-kinase (GNE) was silenced, or p16 was overexpressed, in human pancreatic carcinoma cells. Gene expression profiling, enzymatic assays, Western blotting, and cell cycle analysis were conducted. Silencing of GNE, the key enzyme of sialic ...[more]
