Core Tip

Core tip: We are the first to report an anti-tumor effect of L48H37 in pancreatic cancer, and ascertain that KMT2D deficiency contributes significantly to the therapeutic effect, in part through the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase/eukaryotic initiation factor 2α/activating transcription factor 4/CHOP signaling pathway. It is worth noting that the relationship between the KMT2D expression pattern and treatment efficacy in clinical practice has yet to be further explored.
