Quercetin facilitates cell death and chemosensitivity through RAGE/PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis in human pancreatic cancer cells

In conclusion, the results demonstrated that the molecular mechanisms of quercetin in regulating apoptosis and autophagy-related pathways and increasing GEM chemosensitivity in pancreatic cancer cells involved inhibition of RAGE expression.Graphical abstractThis diagram illustrated that quercetin treatment effectively attenuated RAGE expression to facilitate autophagy, apoptosis, and GEM chemosensitivity in MIA Paca-2 and MIA Paca-2 GEMR cells.
