Overexpression of DCLK1-AL Increases Tumor Cell Invasion, Drug Resistance, and KRAS Activation and Can Be Targeted to Inhibit Tumorigenesis in Pancreatic Cancer

Figure 3

PDAC patients expressing DCLK1 demonstrate PI3K/AKT/MTOR pathway activation. RNA-Seq expression data from TCGA PAAD were analyzed. Patients were grouped based on DCLK1 expression and compared expression of genes downstream of RAS activation, grouped into EMT, PI3K/AKT/MTOR, and BCL2/Apoptosis.
