Abstract
In recent years, the incidence and mortality rates of pancreatic cancer have been steadily increasing, and conventional therapies have shown a high degree of tolerance. Therefore, the search for new therapeutic targets remains a key issue in current research. Mitochondrial glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 (GOT2) is an important component of the malate-aspartate shuttle system, which plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular redox balance and amino acid metabolism, and has the potential to become a promising target for anti-cancer therapy. In this paper, we will elaborate on the metabolic and immune effects of GOT2 in pancreatic cancer based on existing studies, with a view to opening up new avenues for the treatment of pancreatic cancer.
期刊介绍:
Genes & Diseases is an international journal for molecular and translational medicine. The journal primarily focuses on publishing investigations on the molecular bases and experimental therapeutics of human diseases. Publication formats include full length research article, review article, short communication, correspondence, perspectives, commentary, views on news, and research watch.
Aims and Scopes
Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on the molecular bases of human diseases. Emphasis will be placed on hypothesis-driven, mechanistic studies relevant to pathogenesis and/or experimental therapeutics of human diseases. The journal has worldwide authorship, and a broad scope in basic and translational biomedical research of molecular biology, molecular genetics, and cell biology, including but not limited to cell proliferation and apoptosis, signal transduction, stem cell biology, developmental biology, gene regulation and epigenetics, cancer biology, immunity and infection, neuroscience, disease-specific animal models, gene and cell-based therapies, and regenerative medicine.
