Abstract

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor with high fatality rate and poor prognosis, and gene mutations involved in tumor metabolism are considered as the basis of its progression and poor prognosis. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the most common type of pancreatic cancer, and it is reported that KRAS mutations are detected in 86% of PDAC patients. As a molecular switch in the upstream of various signaling pathways and transcription factors, KRAS plays an important role in the regulation of tumor cell metabolism. KRAS mutations may affect the metabolic reprogramming of nutrients and energy, macropinocytosis, and autophagy, regulate the interaction between components in tumor microenvironment, and maintain the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. At present, KRAS-targeting therapies for PDAC still remain in an experimental stage, and further clinical studies are needed to determine whether they can be safely applied in treatment.
