Abstract

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer characterized by late diagnosis and extensive metastasis. It is known to contain exclusively tumorigenic cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are resistant to chemotherapy like gemcitabine. We have previously shown that CD133+ CSCs contributes to disease progression and treatment failure in PDAC. In this study we demonstrate the therapeutic potential of novel dual BET/HDAC inhibitor TW09 to target CD133+ CSCs in a preclinical set-up.
