Synergistic Inhibition of EMT in PDAC via CDK4/6 and BET Blo
2026-06-15
Gu et al. (2025) demonstrate that dual inhibition of CDK4/6 and BET proteins synergistically suppresses pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) progression by targeting the GSK3β-mediated Wnt/β-catenin pathway and reversing epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). These findings clarify the paradoxical pro-metastatic effects of CDK4/6 monotherapy and inform future combinatorial therapeutic strategies for aggressive pancreatic tumors.
