| Abstract | Background Pancreatic cancer is one of the most lethal disease with highly fatal and aggressive properties. Lymph node ratio (LNR), the ratio of the number of metastatic lymph nodes to the total number of examined lymph nodes, is an important index to assess lymphatic metastasis and predict prognosis, but the molecular mechanism underlying high LNR was unclear. Methods Gene expression and clinical information data of pancreatic cancer were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Patients in TCGA were averagely divided into low and high LNR groups. Then, Weighted Gene Co-expression Network Analysis (WGCNA) was utilized to build co-expression network to explore LNR-related modules and hub genes. GO and KEGG analysis was performed to find key pathways related to lymph node metastasis. Next, GSE101448 and the overall survival data in TCGA was employed to further select significant genes from hub genes. Considering the key role of CHRNB2 in LNR and survival, gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) was applied to find pathways related to CHRNB2 expression in pancreatic cancer. The contribution of CHRNB2 to migrative and invasive ability of pancreatic cancer cells was confirmed by Transwell assays. We finally explored the role of CHRNB2 in EMT and β-catenin pathway via Western Blot. Results High LNR was significantly related to high T stages and poor prognosis. In WGCNA, 14 hub genes (COL5A1, FN1, THBS2, etc.) were positively related to high LNR, 104 hub genes (FFAR1, SCG5, TMEM63C, etc.) were negatively related to high LNR. After taking the intersection with GSE101448, 13 genes (CDK5R2, SYT7, CACNA2D2, etc.) which might prevent lymph node metastasis were further selected. Among them, CHRNB2 showed the strongest relationship with long survival. Moreover, CHRNB2 also negatively related to the T stages and LNR. Next, knockdown of CHRNB2 expression could acetylcholine (ACh)-independently increase the migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells, while CHRNB2 overexpression ACh-independently decrease the migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells. For exploring the underlying mechanism, CHRNB2 downregulated β-catenin pathway might through controlling its upstream regulators such as SOX6, SRY, SOX17, and TCF7L2. Conclusions CHRNB2 negatively relates to lymph node metastasis in pancreatic cancer patients. CHRNB2 could inhibit β-catenin pathway, EMT, migration and invasion of pancreatic cancer cells via ACh-independent mechanism. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
