Popis: We survey some interesting features of gene expression in non-endocrine pancreatic cancer, the response to some less widely known agents as they impact on pancreatic cell proliferation and programmed death, and several developing approaches to therapy. The proliferative and cellular suicide responses of Panc-1 cells to the free radical spin trap, NTBN, and to the 5-lipoxygenease inhibitor, MK 886, the latter assessed with CLONTECH Atlas Human cDNA Array 1, are reviewed. Difficulties in identifying those factors whose suppression or augmentation could result in inhibition of malignantly transformed cell properties are considered.
