Description
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. PDAC carries a 5-y survival of less than 10%, as it is often diagnosed at a late stage and is widely refractory to available therapies. PDAC tumors are hypoperfused, resulting in poor nutrient delivery. To exist in this hostile microenvironment, PDAC cells rely on intracellular and extracellular scavenging pathways to acquire metabolic substrates for growth. Autophagy and other lysosome-dependent recycling pathways are aberrantly regulated in PDAC. Although autophagy modulation is an emerging therapeutic strategy for PDAC, the co-dependences induced by lysosomal inhibition have not been systematically explored.
