Blood biomarkers of pancreatic cancer associated diabetes identified by peripheral blood-based gene expression profiles

ABSTRACT: The prognosis of pancreatic cancer is still very poor, how to detect pancreatic cancer from high-risk group in an early stage is essential for improving its long-time survival. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore specific biomarkers that can differentiate pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes from type-2 diabetes for the early detection of pancreatic cancer. In the current study, we used global gene transcription analysis with affymetrix gene chip to identify genes specifically expressed in pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus from peripheral blood samples in stead of from tissue samples. 32 peripheral blood samples were collected for microarray experiments to find differentially expressed genes specific for pancreatic cancer associated diabetes, which included 8
