Dead box polypeptide 60-like (DDX60L) is a member of the DDX family (20), and it was found that DDX60L is highly expressed in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells and that DDX60L knockdown significantly induced apoptosis and reduced the metastasis of PDAC cells (21). This evidence concerns the gene DDX60L and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.
