Core Tip
Core tip: Here we analyzed the differentially expressed genes during pancreas development and pancreatic cancer progression. We noticed that genes that up-regulated in tumorigenesis were conversely suppressed in the development of pancreas. Reciprocally, upregulated gene expression pattern during pancreas development were negatively correlated with pancreatic cancer progression. Additionally, 17 significant metabolic sub-pathways, especially glycerophospholipid metabolism, were identified, which is highly correlated with pancreas cancer development.
