“Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide… Pancreatic cancer has the worst prognosis among cancers due to the difficulty of early diagnosis and its aggressive behavior.

…the adenylate cyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) gene was shown to be overexpressed in all of the xenografts.

Knockdown of CAP1 by RNA interference resulted in the reduction of lamellipodium formation, motility, and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells.

This is the first report demonstrating the overexpression of CAP1 in pancreatic cancers and suggesting the involvement of CAP1 in the aggressive behavior of pancreatic cancer cells.”
