LY294002 blocked the MLPH overexpression-mediated enhanced cell invasion and migration and inhibited EMT-associated marker expression...MLPH regulated EMT to mediate PAAD cell invasive migration through the PI3K-AKT pathway. The results indicated that MLPH is a possible target for blocking PAAD metastasis.
After uni- and multi-variable analysis of five-year survival, MLPH expression was still associated with lower DSS (hazard ratio (HR), 10.110; 95% confidence interval (CI), 2.178-46.920; p = 0.003) and MeFS (HR, 5.621; 95% CI, 1.762-17.931; p = 0.004). In conclusion, identifying MLPH expression could help to predict the response to chemoradiation and survival, and aid in personal therapeutic modification.
