Abstract

The prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients remains relatively poor. Although some patients would receive surgical resection, distant metastasis frequently occurs within one year. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), as a pathological mechanism in cancer progression, contributed to the local and distant metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Tissue microarray analysis and immunohistochemistry assays were used to compare the expression of EGR1 in pancreatic cancer and normal pancreatic tissues. Transwell chambers were used to evaluated the migration and invasion ability of cancer cells. Immunofluorescence was utilized to assess the expression of E-cadherin. ChIP-qPCR assay was applied to verify the combination of EGR1 and SNAI2 promoter sequences. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the gene promoter activation. Co-IP assay was conducted to verify the interaction of EGR1 and p300/CBP. EGR1 was highly expressed in pancreatic cancer rather than normal pancreatic tissues and correlated with poor prognosis and cancer metastasis. EGR1 was proved to enhance the migration and invasion ability of pancreatic cells. Besides, EGR1 was positively correlated with EMT process in pancreatic cancer, via a SNAI2-dependent pathway. P300/CBP was found to play an auxiliary role in the transcriptional activation of the SNAI2 gene by EGR1. Finally, in vivo experiments also proved that EGR1 promoted liver metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Our findings implied the EMT-promoting effect of EGR1 in pancreatic cancer and revealed the intrinsic mechanism. Blocking the expression of EGR1 may be a new anticancer strategy for pancreatic cancer.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 25 March 2023.
All research outputs
#17,417,122
of 25,554,853 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Translational Medicine
#2,658
of 4,672 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,434
of 436,737 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Translational Medicine
#92
of 147 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,554,853 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,672 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.0. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 436,737 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 147 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
