NAT10 and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma: Furthermore, our study showed that elevated levels of NAT10 expression correlated with gemcitabine resistance, that aberrant NAT10 expression may promote the angiogenic capacity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma through activation of the TGF-β pathway, which in turn promotes distal metastasis of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, and that NAT10 knockdown significantly inhibited the migration and clonogenic capacity of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.
