Abstract

The pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a bad prognosis with delayed diagnosis that significantly impedes the use of therapeutic resection. Similarly, colorectal cancer (CRC) is often diagnosed at an advanced stage when tumor cell dissemination has taken place in the liver. A main reason for this situation is the already resistant or newly resistant tumors to all conventional current therapies. Here, we report the re-sensitization of PDAC and CRC cells to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and/or immune checkpoint inhibitors by the newly developed inhibitors that target the activity of the proprotein convertases, enzymes involved in the biological activation/maturation of various protein precursors crucial for the malignant phenotype of PDAC and CRC tumors.
