Abstract

Introduction: TRAIL is emerging as a novel therapy against multiple cancers. Unfortunately, pancreatic cancer is resistant to TRAIL. Elucidating strategies to overcome this resistance would lead to development of novel therapies against this difficult to treat disease. JAK-2/STAT-3 is a pro-survival pathway which is up-regulated in a variety of cancers. In the current study we have evaluated whether downregulation of JAK-2/STAT-3 pathway can sensitize pancreatic cancer cells to TRAIL induced cell death.
