Additionally, PGLP-1-VP and PGLP-1 act the anti-inflammation by increasing Treg cells and TGF-β1 content like DPP-IV inhibitor. Taken together, our data shows that the dual-functional PGLP-1-VP reduces morbidity and mortality in the NOD model, suggesting a potential role in preventing and treating type 1 diabetes.Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers, with a minimal difference between its incidence rate and mortality rate. Advances in oncology over the past several decades have dramatically improved the overall survival of patients with multiple cancers due to the implementation of new techniques in early diagnosis, therapeutic drugs, and personalized therapy. However, pancreatic cancers remain recalcitrant, with a 5-year relative survival rate of less then 9%. The lack of measures for early diagnosis, strong resistance to chemotherapy, ineffective adjuvant chemotherapy and the unavailability of molecularly targeted therapy are responsible for the high mortality rate of this notorious disease. Genetically, PDAC progresses as a complex result of the activation of oncogenes and inactivation of tumor suppressors. Y-27632 molecular weight Although next-generation sequencing has identified numerous new genetic alterations, their clinical implications remain unknown. Classically, oncogenic mutations in genes such as KRAS and loss-of-function mutations in tumor suppressors, such as TP53, CDNK2A, DPC4/SMAD4, and BRCA2, are frequently observed in PDAC. Currently, research on these key driver genes is still the main focus. Therefore, studies assessing the functions of these genes and their potential clinical implications are of paramount importance. In this review, we summarize the biological function of key driver genes and pharmaceutical targets in PDAC. In addition, we conclude the results of molecularly targeted therapies in clinical trials and discuss how to utilize these genetic alterations in further clinical practice.Suppression of excessive hepatic gluconeogenesis is an effective strategy for controlling hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes (T2D). In the present study, we screened our compounds library to discover the active molecules inhibiting gluconeogenesis in primary mouse hepatocytes. We found that SL010110 (5-((4-allyl-2-methoxyphenoxy) methyl) furan-2-carboxylic acid) potently inhibited gluconeogenesis with 3 μM and 10 μM leading to a reduction of 45.5% and 67.5%, respectively. Moreover, SL010110 caused suppression of gluconeogenesis resulted from downregulating the protein level of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PEPCK1), but not from affecting the gene expressions of PEPCK, glucose-6-phosphatase, and fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase. Furthermore, SL010110 increased PEPCK1 acetylation, and promoted PEPCK1 ubiquitination and degradation. SL010110 activated p300 acetyltransferase activity in primary mouse hepatocytes. The enhanced PEPCK1 acetylation and suppressed gluconeogenesis caused by SL010110 were blocked by C646, a histone acetyltransferase p300 inhibitor, suggested that SL010110 inhibited gluconeogenesis by activating p300. SL010110 decreased NAD+/NADH ratio, inhibited SIRT2 activity, and further promoted p300 acetyltransferase activation and PEPCK1 acetylation. These effects were blocked by NMN, an NAD+ precursor, suggested that SL010110 inhibited gluconeogenesis by inhibiting SIRT2, activating p300, and subsequently promoting PEPCK1 acetylation. In type 2 diabetic ob/ob mice, single oral dose of SL010110 (100 mg/kg) suppressed gluconeogenesis accompanied by the suppressed hepatic SIRT2 activity, increased p300 activity, enhanced PEPCK1 acetylation and degradation. Chronic oral administration of SL010110 (15 or 50 mg/kg) significantly reduced the blood glucose levels in ob/ob and db/db mice. This study reveals that SL010110 is a lead compound with a distinct mechanism of suppressing gluconeogenesis via SIRT2-p300-mediated PEPCK1 degradation and potent anti-hyperglycemic activi
