Dual Inhibition of Hedgehog and c-Met Pathways for Pancreatic Cancer Treatment.

abstract：:Sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) is the regulatory subunit of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels) and the receptor of antidiabetic drugs, such as glibenclamide, which induce insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells. However, the expression and role of SUR1 in cancer are unknown. In this study, we found that ...
