Synergistic CDK4/6 and BET Inhibition Suppresses EMT in PDAC
2026-05-08
Gu et al. (2025) demonstrate that combined CDK4/6 and BET inhibition yields a synergistic suppression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma growth and reverses epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by modulating the GSK3β-mediated Wnt/β-catenin and TGF-β/Smad pathways. This mechanistic insight provides a refined preclinical rationale for dual-targeted interventions in aggressive pancreatic cancer subtypes.
