UNSW researchers find novel way to attack the 'fortress' surrounding pancreatic tumors

UNSW researchers find novel way to attack the 'fortress' surrounding pancreatic tumors

UNSW medical researchers have found a way to starve pancreatic cancer cells and ‘disable’ the cells that block treatment from working effectively. Their findings in mice and human lab models – which have been 10 years in the making and are about to be put to the test in a human clinical trial – are published today in

“Pancreatic cancer has seen minimal improvement in survival for the last four decades – and without immediate action, it is predicted to be the world’s second biggest cancer killer by 2025,” says senior author Associate Professor Phoebe Phillips from UNSW Medicine & Health.

New hope for Aussies living with pancreatic cancer

The team found a way to metabolically rewire tumours by targeting a protein called SLC7A11.
"We found that switching off SLC7A11 in mice with pancreatic tumours directly killed pancreatic cancer cells, reduced the spread of tumour cells throughout their body and decreased the scar tissue fortress," said Dr George Sharbeen, a postdoc researcher who led the experimental work.
The promising results were mirrored in experiments using patient tumour samples.
"Our latest advance means today I am the most optimistic and hopeful I have been in my career," said Associate Professor Phillips.
The anti-arthritis drug called sulfasalazine also blocks this protein and will now be repurposed for the Phase II clinical trial.
