These findings suggested that the long non-coding RNA MACC1-AS1 could play a significant role in the ability of pancreatic cancer cells to evade iron-mediated ferroptosis induced by gemcitabine. This discovery holds promise for developing clinical therapeutic strategies to combat chemotherapy resistance in pancreatic cancer.
IFN-γ affected PC properties by MACC1-AS1/MACC1 axis via AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, which provides novel insight for candidate targets for treating PC.
