JQ1 effectively inhibits vasculogenic mimicry of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells via the ERK1/2-MMP-2/9 signaling pathway both in vitro and in vivo.

In conclusion, our work suggests that VM is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with PDAC and that JQ1 can inhibit VM formation via the ERK1/2-MMP-2/9 signaling pathway. PMID: 30899402 [PubMed]
