SAE1 May Play a Pro-Carcinogenic Role in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: A Comprehensive Study Integrating Multiple Pieces of Evidence.

ABSTRACT: SAE1, a key factor in tumour development, has not been thoroughly examined in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAAD), a cancer with high incidence and poor prognosis. We conducted a comprehensive study, integrating mRNA data, immunohistochemistry, CRISPR-modified cell line analysis and single-cell RNA sequencing to assess SAE1's role in PAAD. We also used ChIP-Seq to explore SAE1's transcriptional regulation and analysed clinical data, drug sensitivity and molecular docking models. SAE1 mRNA was significantly overexpressed in PAAD, with a substantial impact on cell proliferation and migration. Functional analyses linked SAE1 to cell cycle and DNA replication pathways, suggesting a role in PAAD development. Our study indicates that SAE1 may promote PAAD through cell cycle pathways, with FOXA1 pot
